THE OVERVIEW
Offered for an appreciating new owner at NO RESERVE is this classic 1992 MERCEDES BENZ 500E SEDAN!
Finished in garnet red metallic over tan leather, this unique classic W124 Benz has been driven about 11,000 miles per year [just over 264,600 miles total] since new! It sports a great running original Porsche-collaboration 322 horsepower V8 engine mated to the 4 speed automatic transmission, COLD A/C, electric windows and sunroof, electric leather seats, chromed factory alloy wheels with excellent rubber and newer cd stereo.It is being sold with clean and clear title, accident-free Carfax report and April 2017 registration.
THE BODY AND TRIM
The exterior of this car is in fair condition cosmetically. The good news is that it is 99.9% dry rust-free! The not-so-good, as clearly seen, is that the paint is a bit of a hot mess. Lots of fading, clear-coat failure, nicks, scratches and mismatching. There is also one cracked front light lense and some pitting on the chrome wheels. Drive as is, paint it or I have a great idea for an "art car" with the license plate reading "BRK HAUS". Yes, I am open to discussing that treatment for the new owner!
THE INTERIOR
As I hope is articulated in the photos here, the interior of this non-smoker '92 Benz is in quite good VERY original condition overall with no check engine lights and most ALL systems in excellent working order.....including COLD A/C and HOT heated seats! Imperfections inside the car include headliner sections sagging, seam splitting and wear specifically on driver seat, weak stereo reception due to inop antenna.
THE DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This 1992 Benz starts and runs VERY well with excellent torquey acceleration, taut and solid suspension, excellent steering and braking and quiet exhaust. There is a bit of typical transmission thunk but overall this 25 year-old Benz is a still VERY satisfying car to drive!
