SOLD SOLD SOLD. 500E has been sold and is staying in CA.


I am helping my friend sell his 1993 Mercedes-Benz 500E. As of right now, the car has about 178,200 miles on it and is in great condition. VIN is WDBEA36E3PB939731. The 500E is located in the Santa Clarita Valley just north of downtown Los Angeles. Here's a description, written by my friend, on what has been done when him and his wife owned the 500E:

Asking price is $10,995.

It's my wife's car which was her daily driver to and from work (3 times a week). It hasn't been driven hard in our ownership. About 90% of the miles we put on are highway miles. It's rarely seen traffic. It has a 178,200 miles now. The engine and transmission are smooth. It starts easy every time and has gobs of power (still puts a smile on my face when driven). I did a lot of the work myself in the past but with 2 small kids, it's seen more shop work lately. I've done a lot of nitpicky repairs and replacements even though it didn't need it over the years. We have most of not all of the receipts for shop work and kept some parts receipts. It's been garaged our entire ownership and my wife works night shift and also parks in a parking garage. It's been out of the sun most of the time. It has been repainted prior to our ownership. I would say the paint is a 7/10. It's still has a deep shine, but has a some pits on the nose end and a couple of faint bird dropping stains. You'd have to look hard to see them though. As I mentioned, the rear bumper was torn off in a parking lot while it was parked. I had it repaired at Auto Stiegler in Encino (MB certified). I also opted to have them do the cladding on both sides and front bumper to match the new rear bumper. The engine compartment is not the cleanest, but there are no major leaks. Nothing drips on the garage floor. All the electronics work.

Here's a list of somewhat major items I've replaced during our ownership:
Left and right rear SLS struts, accumulators and sway bar links
Ignition caps and rotors a couple of times now and spark plugs every 30k mi
Ignition coils and wire set

Items done prior to my ownership:
