FOR SALE 1993 500E AMG 6.0L, Black/Black, 291kkm, $0.15M (Fort Lauderdale, Florida)

[gsxr]

UPDATE 1: Reserve not met, now offered at $145k, see post #8 below. Also now incorrectly advertised as "Hammer".

UPDATE 2: Now listed on Hemmings & eBay for $155k, location confirmed as Florida. See post #10 below.

UPDATE 3: Price drop to $150k, August 2025 See post #14 below.


No affiliation. This car was previously discussed on the forum here in Dec-2019, allegedly for sale by Bernhard at that time, asking €90k.

The Broad Arrow Auction listing is terrible with almost no useful information about the location/whereabouts of the vehicle (is it in Florida now?), since there are no records of it being imported/titled in USA.

Note this car does NOT have code 957, so it was converted to 6.0L post-delivery. And, it was also facelifted post-delivery as well. I have a hard time imagining someone would pay $0.2M for a facelifted, converted, non-957 car... but, I'm usually wrong about this stuff.

Description​

​

Chassis No. WDB1240361B933715​

​

Mercedes had a simple goal in the 1990s for their W124 generation of E-Class; they wanted to prove to their Munich-based rival BMW – and the world – that the M5 was not the only halo sports sedan available from Germany. The Mercedes-Benz 500 E was borne from a fruitful, if not complex, collaboration with their Stuttgart neighbors, Porsche. Not only did Porsche assist in the engineering process, but the sports car maker was also critical to its production. Sporting a wider wheel track to accommodate wider tires, the newly flared arches made the car 2.2 inches too wide to fit down the standard W124 production line. So, they went between the Mercedes plant and Porsche's Rössle-Bau plant in Zuffenhausen – the very same plant that produced the Porsche 959 supercar – a total of four times, resulting in an incredible 18 day production process!​

​

Already endowed with world-class capabilities from Mercedes and Porsche, this sporting pedigree could be further enhanced by another legendary German company – AMG. With a laundry list of possible upgrades available, the most sought-after examples are those with the mythical 6.0 monicker, just like this very car.​

​

A copy of the original bill of sale dated 23 March 1993 shows this 500 E was finished in Black (040) over Black leather, retailing for just under 159,000 DM or the equivalent of just under $97,000. The car was then taken to Affalterbach, where AMG began their work. The main focus was upgrading the original 5.0-liter engine with an AMG-tuned 6.0-liter version by increasing the bore and stroke 100 by 94.8 mm. This increased the performance rating from 320 to 381 PS. Further supporting modifications included an AMG exhaust system [GSXR note - there is no such thing as an "AMG exhaust system" for 124.036], AMG sport suspension upgrades, a new 300 km/h speedometer, RECARO front seats, and lastly, 17-inch AMG Aero I wheels finished with body-colored centers and polished lips. The work performed by AMG is detailed on the accompanying order form, and nearly another 71,000 DM was added to the initial purchase price, pushing the total for this car to over $140,000 when it was new, which would be nearly $300,000 today.​

​

In addition to the copy of the 1993 bill of sale, this 500 E 6.0 AMG is accompanied by an impressive amount of documentation, including its AMG order form, early German Fahrzeugbrief with certifications for the AMG upgrades, and subsequent service history. Imported to the United States in 2021, this splendid 500 E 6.0 AMG is surely one of the most highly documented pre-merger examples to have left Affalterbach on the market today.​

I agree with you. most people grounded in reality would not spend that kind of money on THAT car. But....given all money being thrown at these cars and a small group of people paying way more than they are worth, it sets unrealistic expectations.

 

[hAMGurger]

I was gonna say that maybe they mean the Japan-exclusive mufflers, but thats not correct either.
Editorial error I guess.

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

I need to buy an AMG badge for the back of my 500E. I will be a cool person if I do this.

 

[maw1124]

Anything pre-Merger AMG these days... 6.0L is just gravy.

maw

 

[Jim Rosenthal]

This ought to be good.... I get an email feed from BHCC... and under the heading of "cars coming soon"... they have a 1992 500E. Can't wait to see it.

What I can't figure out is this: when I read the ad, I had a sudden crystal-clear vision of a middle-aged guy in a polyester suit, smoking a cigar, and whispering to me, "... she's a real creampuff, sonny, only driven by a little old lady on Sundays, to church and back home...."
Hmmm....

OMG. I believe the term (thanks, @Jlaa!) is "a whole bowl of wrong". This is a Euro-spec car, originally delivered to Grrmany, not California. I wonder what speedometer lurks beneath the vinyl overlay. No documentation of how many km's it had when arriving here in the colonies, so I'm assuming...

Anyone know what it bid up to? Can't seem to find that data on the auction site.

Inexcusable that it's now being listed as a "Hammer". Not every AMG V8 is a "Hammer"... c'mon, people...

What surprises me when I read all the advertizing uptalk (by Amelia, Broadarrow, Hemming) about how well this (non 957) car was documented in its (production)day, and how amazing this car looks, is this: if indeed "subsequent documentation" exists, why not showing even one single invoice of what (necessary) maintenance has been performed over the past 30 odd years on this no-doubt incredible piece of machinery. The mere mention of "new tires and brake pads" just don't do it for me. Not that I'm in the market, but if so, I would want to know exactly and in detail what has been going on under the hood over the past 291K km's. Good luck selling!

I agree, it would be a stronger start to any auction having uploaded/provided everything instead of only mentioning it. My guess is that's a way to "preserve" that information to those who are actually interested in purchasing instead of it being public forever. I think RM watermarks the IP address if you want to download any uploaded documentation. Not sure why it's such a big deal or the intent behind it is.
