The Story:

This 500E was built in 12/91 and initially purchased on 4/30/1992 in Oradell, NJ by a Food Exec, who is now in the Candy Hall of Fame for what it's worth. The current owner purchased it from him in February of 1994 with 7,461mi for $57,500 and has owned it since. He seasonally daily drove it to his office in Baltimore where he had a parking garage which limited its exposure to the sun and elements. Interestingly, he repeated that formula in 2009 by purchasing another 2yr old top of the line E-Class. This time it was a 2007 E63 Sedan with 1,900 miles in the same color combination to relieve this 500E of the daily driver duties. The owner was in the financial sector and it's clear he liked it when others took the depreciation hit. The collection currently includes a '96 911 Cab, '04 GT3, the aforementioned '07 E63 Sedan, and a '62 356 roadster. The 3 modern cars listed have less combined miles than this 500E. It's also worth noting that he vintage raced Porsche's and owned a Ferrari 365 GTC that was sold last year.

The gentleman's illness prevented him from driving any of his cars. This car sat in his climate controlled home garage in the suburbs of Baltimore, MD for about 5yrs prior to me removing it. I was basically given an open checkbook to do what I needed to get the car in a good spot before trying to find the next owner. There are still little things to improve on the car, and this is why I chose to offer it to the tried and true 500E enthusiasts first. Without going too far in the weeds, my client's husband loved this car and I feel a greater responsibility to get this car in the right hands.

I picked up the car on April 21, 2024. We winched it right into the trailer and took it to Kassel Performance in York, PA with 77,881 miles. Together with Kassel, we evaluated the vehicle and came up with a plan to responsibly get the car back in operation but please know that it never gave us problems, we just wanted to recommission the car the proper way instead of installing a new battery and turning the key. Here is what we did:

Recent Work (last 60days):
-Mercedes / Bosch Battery
-OEM Valve Cover Gaskets
-Nissens Radiator
-Mercedes OEM Front Struts, Strut Mounts, Spring Pads, Bump Stops, & Strut Bellows (we were told these were the last 2 struts in the US)
-Drain Fuel
-Fuel Filter
-Oil & Filter
-Brake Fluid Flush
-Power Steering Fluid Flush
-Transmission Fluid Flush
-(4) Continental Extreme Contact Tires
-Refinished (5) Wheel Faces and Cleaned the Barrels. There were a few rash marks but nothing terrible. The main reason I chose to refinish was that they were dull.
-Professional Detail

The invoices can be found in the gallery along with every service record we have. In total, well over $7,000 was spent preparing this car. We are currently at a point where I think the car is ready for its next owner. I drove it about 350 miles in order to give it a good shakedown prior to offering it for sale. This is the first 500E I've driven. I can see why everyone loves them. The car pulls strongly and rides smoothly. A/C is cold. The rear shade and headrest drop button works. All lights/signals/hazards, windows, sunroof, central locking system, telescoping wheel, heated seats, & passenger mirror works.

The paint shines nicely and you can find paint meter readings in the gallery which confirm it is 100% original paint. All of the rubber seals and exterior trim are near mint. Please note the exterior window trim and roof rails can show as purple in the gallery, this is due to the filter I use on my camera lens. They are 100% consistent in the smoked silver color and again, no sun damage or fading. They are in near perfect condition and it is one of the highlights of the car in my opinion.

6/22/2024 - I drove the 500E up to Watkins Glen for the IMSA 6hr races this weekend. The trip was 188mi of highway driving and I purchased gas when getting on and off...it took 9gal so 21MPG. A few spots of traffic but 98% of the time I was at cruising speed of 75-85MPH

What Else Should You Know:

-The upper wiring harness has a date code of 2012. The lower harness appears to be original.
-On occasion and less prevalent of late, the idle has a small stutter about every 30sec or so. The car runs very strong and there are no issues from light throttle to heavy throttle.
-The radio turns on (we have the code), but no sound from the speakers and the antenna does not work, but the antenna did work when I got it.
-The front right seat back switch works intermittently.
-There are a number of stone chips, mainly on the hood and mirrors.
-A few scuffs on the front lower valance & side trim.
-A dime'ish sized spot of clear coat failure on the trunk as well some wear through on the back edge of trunk
-A 4" scratch on the right rear quarter.
-The headliner is sagging.
-DDD has started. It is not terrible but has started nonetheless.
-All blemishes are visible in the gallery. NOTE: I did NOT use touch-up paint on the car, but I just purchased both colors of OEM MB touch up paint which are included with the car.

At the end of the day, this is a nice, honest, and highly original car. The MD title is clean and has been transferred into my client's name so the transfer is easy. We retained a copy of the 1994 title and it will be included in the vehicle history binder.

Asking price is $57,500.

Payment will be made directly to the owner and I will assist in the process to make things easier for my client.

The car is in my shop in Annville, PA and I welcome in-person inspections by appointment.

Please feel free to reach out with any questions. Thank you for looking.

Hi Adam,

Welcome to the 500Eboard. That's a pretty detailed listing you've typed out, and it seems to me that it is more transparent on the good points and the flaws than most ads we see...... . Thanks for that great tone! I like the way you are able to read the room effectively!

 

[Garage44]

“RennTech exhaust”…surely you meant muffler, because that is only what you have. Might want to change that.

Yes, you are definitely right. Thanks for pointing that out. It doesn't look I can edit the post now.

Hi Adam,

Thank you. I appreciate the kind words. I've been semi-active in forums with my personal cars and this seems like a tight knit group.

 

[xfadmin]

It doesn't look I can edit the post now.

I will update your permissions so that you can edit the post.

The issue in the past has been that people go back into their posts months and years after listing or selling a car, and delete the photos. It is a serious PITA to re-instate photos once deleted. So, we had to dramatically reduce the amount of time that people could edit their posts to just a few hours, so that important and valuable photos are not deleted, and are removed from the record for these cars for future owners/posterity.

 

[gerryvz]

This looks like a quality listing for an honest car. Should be attractive to buyers here on the forum looking for relatively low-miles cars that have been carefully owned and conscientiously maintained, but yet used and enjoyed.

We don't see these types of cars every day, so I'd give this one a look if you are in the market.

 

[doolar]

Now that’s how you present a car, and your business. GLWS and I hope this 500 goes to a good home!

 

[Garage44]

I will update your permissions so that you can edit the post.

Thank you and it is now edited to show RENNtech muffler. I understand the reasoning and will not delete anything moving forward.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I really hope to find its next caretaker on here.

 

[gerryvz]

Bumping this car. Folks, it's an honest car, unmolested and pretty low miles.

I know there are a lot of cars currently out there on the market; I feel like this one is really a cut above most that you see. You can't fault the presentation, either. People pop up here regularly looking for "the right car" ... well, here's quite a nice one that's ready and waiting.

 

[Garage44]

Thank you for the words of support Gerry.

It is an honest car and we are looking to sell it. I welcome (prefer) in-person inspections and have access to a lift a couple miles away. The main goal of bringing the car here to 500Eboard is to find an enthusiast who will enjoy and care for the car moving forward. I would encourage anyone interested to reach out.

NOTE: I made an edit to the original post to reflect that I found the original "flat key" when I visited the owner this week. All (3) original keys are now with the car.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Adam

 

[skikrazey]

Annville is about 45min from my house. If any member here is interested in the car, I could take a look at it, PM me.

 

[thebrinksman]

Me thinks this car could justifiably get more than 58.

 

[gerryvz]

E500E market has been tough and pretty uneven the past couple of years, definitely flattened out from what we were seeing in the Trump years.

 

[Garage44]

Bump. Not a great day for someone trying to sell a 500E as that BaT sale seemed very light. That said, the price is negotiable and we would like to see it go to a good home. Please reach out if you are interested.

I was at the Deutsche Classic in Oley, PA on Saturday and I saw a '92 500E there from Allentown, PA. Is that anyone here?

 

[skikrazey]

I was there as it is a local event. The '92 500E belongs to Roger Egoff MBCA Northeastern PA Region President.

Would love to get the communities thoughts on this one!

Would love to get the communities thoughts on this one!

It's an excellent car. You won't find one more honest and well maintained overall than this one. It was collector owned since 1994, open checkbook. And driven steadily through its life. I have seen the car up close, though I did not drive it.

I appreciate that feedback! It’s a beautiful car…

Going to watch this one closely.

 

[AMG5PT4]

Lengthy ownership, garage kept, service history, just the right mileage (not too low, not too high), some correctable cosmetic flaws, great interior. This won't break the bank, but if you are in the market for a nice one to take to the next level...

Gerry-Your impressions and assessment means a lot. Glad you could share it! And now I know your screen name on BaH as well.

Question for the Masters/Meisters...Would the RENNtech "bits" including exhaust/muffler and ECU chip, present a problem for passing California Smog test?
Is it correct that catalytic converters are no longer available?
(I really miss my -93/500E Express-train...)

 

[TerryA]

@Larwik,
I have the Renntech back box and my 500E
passes w/ flying colors every time. You might have to put in a stock chip in lieu of the E-Prom. The air box should be no problem.

The 500E in this thread still has the stock CATs on the car. IMOP this car should pass CA Smog with no problem providing the E-Prom chip is replaced. If your in Orange County I have a smog man. He’s smogged my car every 2 years since 2004.

 

[Larwik]

Thanks for the tip, Terry... I'm in LA so OC is not far....

 

[gsxr]

Question for the Masters/Meisters...Would the RENNtech "bits" including exhaust/muffler and ECU chip, present a problem for passing California Smog test?

Nope, the RENNtech chip does nothing except increase the top speed limiter... no power gain, won't affect emissions. Exhaust mods don't affect smog testing either.

Is it correct that catalytic converters are no longer available?

Correct. Factory cats have been NLA for years and are nearly impossible to find used unless you buy a complete 400E parts car with good factory cats. Be careful buying aftermarket cats, most are junk, few are CARB compliant. And, smog shops are quick to blame the cats when a car fails testing, because they make $$$$ selling you new cats... but the factory cats are pretty rare failures, it's often something else.

 

[gerryvz]

I agree - don't bother removing the RENNtech chip. I've used said chip for 21 years in my car, and had ZERO problems passing emissions in multiple states during that time. The M119 is a very clean-burning engine, and the chips out there don't affect emissions.

 

[gerryvz]

Super happy to see that this car cleared well above $50K. I was personally predicting high $40s given the market, but opined privately to the seller that I would be ecstatic if it hit $50K or above. Kudos to him for it doing $53,000 !!!

Auction winner got a very, very nice car. I think it is money well spent, and with just modest care to take care of this car's few needs, it will be an excellent driver that can be enjoyed for many, many years (and miles) to come.

Sold for $53k, or $55.7k with fees, ~$60k with T/T/T/T. Pretty close to original $58k ask.

Three bidders at $50k+, but #4/5/6 were all at $41-$43k. Excellent presentation and good seller interaction likely helped this already-nice example.

Looks like a great buy to me. FOR SALE - 1992 500E, Brilliant Silver/Gray, 152kmi, $30k (Burbank, CA) | Cars for Sale - 500E / E500 ONLY / Looks this was the buyers previous 500E.

 

[CardinalHoosier]

Hi all - got the car delivered last week and it's completely as presented (very honest representation by the seller). Very grateful for "cascade" and Gerry's input.

And yes, @dreaming.haze is correct, I owned the car in the thread above before it was bought unfortunately by a scammer/flipper. Total shame what happened to that car after I sold it.

Excited to be back and I'm sure I'll have some questions on other threads about repairs.

Btw I oddly have two usernames here, so not sure how that accidentally happened. Will log into the other one to be consistent. Sorry about that

@apbaldwin, what is the other username? Perhaps @xfadmin could merge the two profiles.

Just checking in to thank @CardinalHoosier, @gerryvz, and everyone on this forum for such a great experience on 500Eboard.

Both myself and the widow of the (now former) owner are thrilled that it is in the capable and caring hands of Andrew.
