FOR SALE 1992 500E, Pearl Black/Black, 120kmi, $31k USD (Calgary, Alberta, Canada)

[gsxr]

EDIT 1: BaT auction ended RNM, now listed for $35k U SD, see post #5.

EDIT 2: Formula auction ended RNM at $40k CAD, now listed for $42k CAD ($31k USD), see post #10.

No affiliation. The passenger headlight is for wrong-hand-traffic (Japan/UK) and both headlights are non-500E, which is a shame. Sunroof deflector springs need repair. Need to fix the warm air intake as well.

This 1992 Mercedes-Benz 500E was initially delivered to Jardine California Motors Imported in Beverly Hills, California, and it was purchased by the seller in 2009 and now shows 120k miles. The car is powered by a 5.0-liter M119 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission and is finished in Black Pearl Metallic over black leather upholstery. Equipment includes 18” AMG Monoblock wheels, a power sunroof, an aftermarket exhaust system, fog lights, Automatic Slip Control, automatic climate control, an Alpine stereo, power-adjustable front seats, and cruise control. This W124 500E is offered in Canada with a window sticker, manufacturer’s literature, US and Canadian Carfax reports, a spare set of 16″ wheels, and a clean title in the seller’s name.

The 500E was assembled by Porsche and featured wheel arch flares, revised bodywork, and a lower ride height when compared to other W124 models. This example is finished in Black Pearl Metallic and features matching bumper covers and lower cladding. Additional exterior features integrated fog lights, a retractable antenna, and a power sunroof. Paintwork has been performed around the right front corner of the car, per the seller. Close-up photographs of the exterior finish and trim are shown in the gallery below.

The 18” AMG Monoblock wheels are mounted with Hankook tires. The car is equipped with Automatic Slip Control (ASR). Braking is handled by four-wheel ventilated discs. A spare set of 16″ factory wheels with center caps will accompany the sale.

The cabin features power-adjustable front seats upholstered in black leather along with a color-coordinated lower dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Amenities include automatic climate control, an Alpine stereo, a power-adjustable steering column, dual front airbags, and cruise control.

The wood- and leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer, a tachometer with a 6k-rpm redline, an analog clock, and gauges for oil pressure, coolant temperature, and fuel level. The six-digit odometer shows 120k miles, approximately 15k of which were added under current ownership.

The 5.0-liter M119 DOHC V8 was factory-rated at 322 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. An aftermarket exhaust system has been fitted.

The window sticker lists initial delivery to Jardine California Motors Imported in Beverly Hills, California, as well as factory colors, equipment, and a total suggested retail price of $82,180.

The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage. A Canadian Carfax report is provided in the gallery below.

The vehicle does not have a title and is being sold on its Alberta registration, which serves as the ownership document in Alberta, Canada

The exchange rate might work in a US based buyer's favour if of course sanity has prevailed with the reserve...

 

[gsxr]

Ooof. $26k RNM. Location in Canada (eh!) probably did not help.

$26k - high bid
$23.5k - bidder #2
$18k - bidder #3

Ja it's pretty odd TBH. I don't know the full pedigree of the car obviously but that seems low to me. I guess the seller had a lofty USD reserve in mind. Currently as I said you can get 1.3 or thereabouts in Canuckistan dollars so not a bad payday IMHO. I often think folks are needlessly put off by buying cross border. Get a good broker and it's a cakewalk.
