Also seats are quite odd.

Cause they do not belong there.
But for 17.5 keuro i got no complaines.

The rust also looks a special option !

Cause they do not belong there.

Yep... wonder what happened to the original seats. Those look nice though. Early production car, April 1991. They couldn't wash it before taking photos?

Note the heat shield has rusted/rotted off the front exhaust pipes, which isn't a good sign for corrosion on the rest of the (unseen) undercarriage. At least it still has the factory catalysts.

But for 17.5 keuro i got no complaines.

Yeah... but it's already bid to €17.5k and there's 8 days left on the auction!

I thought all E500E's had only 2 seats in the rear. I suppose it is easy to replace the 2 seat arrangement with standard W124 seats.

You thought correctly.

Yes - the seat belts/sockets also need to be swapped, but you can install the standard 3-person rear seat into the 036.

Did anyone else notice the rev-counter (redline at 7k rpm), which was actually fitted solely to vehicles with M104.98x engines (300-24v with KE-Jetronic)?

The thing is, I don't think this type of rev-counter (left side, arrangement with fuel gauge located at bottom of the array) is so easy to find (if at all, but e.g. one coming from a 400E/E420 would also do, since redline is set at 6k rpm as well on all M119s), thus somebody tried just sourcing one from a car with the trip computer option (regardless it might come from a 6-cyl.)

Good catch! This car has option code 245 (Trip Computer) so everything should be factory original. I'm guessing the gauge assembly failed and instead of repairing the original, it was replaced with a 6-cyl version.

@steve h,
My 93 has 3 sets of seatbelts in the rear. When I purchased my car the PO had a cushion made to fit over the wooden slide top. My guess is it was to have a place for a baby seat to be tied down and to protect the wood slider. It still functions and has no cracks that I’m aware of.

I still have the cushion and I tucked the center seatbelts away.

Nope, that's a straight-up flip. Dealer is trying to double their money (almost) with a car wash.
