This 1992 Mercedes-Benz 500E was purchased in 2023 by the seller, who subsequently
refinished the Black Pearl Metallic paint and replaced the fuel pump, radiator, flex disc, tie rods, shocks, and front lower control arms. Powered by a 5.0-liter V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, it features a black leather interior, a sunroof, 18” AMG Monoblock wheels, heated power-adjustable front seats, air conditioning, cruise control, power windows, and a Sony stereo linked to aftermarket audio equipment. This W124 500E is offered with a Carfax report and a Virginia title in the seller’s name.
The 500E was assembled by Porsche and features wheel arch flares, revised bodywork, and a lower ride height when compared to other W124 models. This example was finished from the factory in Black Pearl Metallic (702) and was refinished under current ownership. Exterior features include a sunroof, fog lights, a power-telescoping antenna, and a single eccentric-sweep windshield wiper.
The 18” AMG Monoblock wheels are mounted with
Prinx tires. Braking is handled by anti-lock discs at each corner. In 2026, the drag links, tie rods, rear shocks,
front control arms, and wheel bearings were replaced.
One of the rear shocks are noted as leaking.
The heated power-adjustable front bucket seats and rear bench are upholstered in black leather along with a color-coordinated dashboard, center console, door panels, and carpets. Wood trim accents the dash, center stack, and doors, while amenities include power windows, cruise control, air conditioning, and a Bluetooth-capable Sony stereo linked to an aftermarket amplifier and subwoofer. The headliner is sagging, and the seller notes cracks in the wood trim.
The four-spoke airbag steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation consisting of a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and gauges for fuel level, coolant temperature, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 144k miles, approximately 8k of which were added under current ownership. The Carfax report lists a mileage inconsistency in November 2023, which the seller attributes to a clerical error when titling the vehicle.
The 5.0-liter M119 V8 was factory equipped with Bosch LH-Jetronic fuel injection and was rated at 322 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque when new. The fuel pump and radiator were replaced, and the exhaust and ECU were repaired in 2025, while the battery was replaced in 2026. Corrosion is noted beneath the battery.
Power is routed to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission, the fluid for which was changed in March 2025. The flex disc and transmission linkage bushings were replaced in 2025. The Carfax report lists the aforementioned
March 1998 damage and November 2023 mileage inconsistency.
