Hello fellow members,

I am looking for an original E500 Limited in Silver color. I have already a Black Limited and I am looking to have a Wolfpack

Now I found this E500 Limited for sale and was wondering if anybody knows anything more about this car.
I now that it was for sale about 2,5 years ago because in that time I was just to late (it was sold in 1 day).

Already I send them an email but have to wait till tomorrow so thought I use that time to get some feedback from the forum.

I also looked at that very same car in the summer of 2023. Back then it was on the market - and I believe sold in or around July - at the Hairpin Company as well. The asking price back then was GBP 65.000. The reported mileage (shown on the dashboard pictures as well) back then was 97.500 km's. The current pictures as well as the text on their website appear to be exactly the same as the ones they used in 2023. So may be they didn't sell it back then and only took it off the market, I'm not sure. Interesting to see what the asking price is now...

I just had contact with them.
Your right mate same pictures als 2,5 year back.
They told me the car is sold today for £90.000,= and they could sell it 7 times so much interest there was.
So to bad for me. I keep on looking for a nice Silver Limited to keep my Black one company.

Any chance the VIN was provided so we can document it here?

Sorry they did not give it because the car was already sold.

So, sold in 2020, sold again in summer 2023 (when I looked and made screenshots), and now again! GBP 90K - 65K = 25K, not a bad return on investment for a 15 months period.....

Oeps, and I forgot it was also sold in 2022 (!), so 4 times, also by the Hairpin Company (according to their advert text). Makes me wonder.... I never thought a plm 100K km car would be seen as a (short term) investment. I certainly don't consider my own 036 as an investment, it's a joy to own and to drive as much as possible for years to come.

So to bad for me. I keep on looking for a nice Silver Limited

Only a minority Ltd's were delivered in silver, but keep on looking, be patient, one day you'll find one. Success!!

I am pretty sure I have seen this car and almost bought it back in 2017. Instead I've bought mine. If it is the one I saw, the paint on passenger door was pretty bad back then, with a bit of rust under the hood. Few details that made me go away.
