I just got the car 2 months ago, since then i have put H&R springs and KYB Sport shocks front and back. did a mini-tune up (filters O2 sensors...) high flow cats with Magnaflow muffler. Aside from that car drives like NEW everything works A/C is freezing cold, all windows and roof work fine, car really drives like new and it only has 110K miles. the worst thing about the car which would give it a lower price value is that fact that the title has a Salvage History from VA , at one point in life it was hit (in the back) and fixed. But i can say who ever fixed the car did a pretty good job because the car drives 100%. I have set the price at $7950

 

Good luck!

Looks incredible dumped on the OZ Comps?

 

Face lift looks good, so does the steering wheel (I have one just like it). I think it would look better with the 94-95 wipers though.

This is a good buy for someone interested in a 500e!

 

Bump for a SICK ride!!!

 

Looks very sweet and aggressive! Care to post the VIN please? Thanks.

 

This is ridiculously tempting......+2 for the VIN. It's too bad you sold the other set of wheels, they look

I really do need a 3rd V8 mercedes sedan I think

 

so what's the "designed by PORSCHE" part of the story ???

Coming soon on Oct 1st.... details on the
SoCal Mega Mercedes-Benz Meet
15 November

 

Porsche helped w/ fabrication of the cars....the 500e's rolled through the porsche line through part of their assembly. Can't remember whether or not they also helped w/ development....

 

Lots of info and resources at the 500ecstasy site.

Also, from 500E wiki:

"Between 1991 and 1995, Mercedes-Benz sold a sport version of the W124, the Mercedes-Benz 500 E, created in close cooperation with Porsche. Each 500 E was hand-built by Porsche, being transported back and forth between the Mercedes plant and Porsche's Rossle-Bau plant in Zuffenhausen during assembly---taking a full 18 days to complete each model. Design began in 1989 and into 1991. Between 1992 and 1995, Mercedes/Porsche built a total of 10,479 500E's. Of these, 1505 of the "super" sports sedans were imported into the USA between 1992-1994, or roughly 500 cars per year of importation. Called '500 E' through model year 1993, for model year 1994 it was face-lifted along with the rest of the range and renamed to 'E 500'.

The 500 E had a dual camshaft 32-valve 4973 cm3 V8 engine naturally aspirating 326 hp (240 kW) and 480 N·m (354 ft·lb), with the engine being derived from the 500 SL (R129) roadster. Sports car braking performance also came from SL components: front SL 500 300 mm disks with 4-piston calipers came installed on the 1992 and early 1993 cars. The later 1993, and all 1994 cars came with the upgraded 320 mm set taken from the 600 SL. Rear brakes on all years were 277 mm brakes from the 500 SL. In the USA, the 500 E came fully-loaded, with the only options available to the buyer being a dealer-installed CD changer and an integrated telephone. The 500 E was only available as a four-seater, with the four leather seats supplied by Recaro (the fronts heated).

Called the "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" by the press, performance tests of the day yielded impressive results: 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) times of 5.5 to 6.0 seconds and acceleration through the quarter-mile (0.4 km) in 14.1 seconds at 163 km/h (101 mph). The top speed was redline limited at 6,000 rpm to 250 km/h (~155 mph). It was rated at 16.8 L/100 km (14 mpg) in the city and 13.8 L/100 km (17 mpg) on the highway.

With its aggressive stance: 1.5 inches wider track, 0.9 inch lower profile, flared fenders, side skirts, front air-dam and wide tires, the 500 E is easily distinguished from its lesser brethren. Because of its look, limited numbers, hand-built construction, and unique pedigree, the 500 E is already considered a "classic", even within Mercedes-Benz."

 

thanks guys i really wish i could keep the car but $$$ is of need right now

 

2 things that caught my eye :

#1) Why does it have Pennsylvania tags on it ?

#2) Has a "F C Kerbeck" license tag holder - a questionable dealer- just over the bridge from Pennsylvania (Palmyra NJ) ,(I used to work there part-time at night..a while ago) that has a history of "salvaged" and "flooded" vehicles.

Good luck with the sale.

 

That is one sexy ride ... good luck and hope she finds a good home!

 

thanks guys going on E-bay in a few days

 

I'd pick this up in a heartbeat if it was available at the end of november... I've always admired this car.
