FOR SALE 1993 500E, Silver/Black, 76kmi, $85k (Scottsdale, AZ)

[azjtravels]

Hello,

I am considering selling my 1993 500E. I purchased this car four years ago from Copley Motors in Boston (Great guys, highly recommend). Since the purchase I have added a set of 18" Forged "Limited" style wheels, the Silver Arrow Brake upgrade, new motor mounts, and other minor maintenance items.

VIN: WDBEA36E0PB917587


This is one of the cleanest W124 500Es in the world. The interior is pristine, with only minor wear on the driver's seat. The rest of the leather looks brand new. The paint is overall good. From 6 feet away it looks perfect. There is some paint wear in the form of micro-scratches on the hood and roof. I have not done much to correct those. I have a close friend who owns a restoration shop here in Arizona. I brought it to him to see what he would recommend. He said the car is too beautiful to touch and to leave it as is. I did have the front lower spoiler repainted and PPFd.

Besides the Wheels, tires and brakes, the car is 100% OEM and everything works as designed. Windows, seats, sunroof, rear sunshade, rear headrests, etc, all work.

There is some cracking in the wood trim on the rear center console. Again, I was tempted to fix it, but I tend to keep things as original as possible.

I live in Scottsdale, Arizona. The car is here for anyone to look at and drive.

I am posting the few photos I have. I will take more and can send them to anyone interested.

I have owned at least 50 cars in my lifetime. This is easily in the top 3.

I know my asking price is slightly over market, I am basing it on the condition.

Thank you!
Josh

Great looking car. Whats the mileage? Wiring harness situation? What have you decided to sell? What is the mfg date?
Appreciate you posting here.

Sorry. Read a little closer. Saw the mileage. Any backstory on history ?

I’m selling because I am looking for the impossible… an original E60.

The wiring harnesses have not been replaced as far as I know. There is one classic Mercedes technician at one of the local Mercedes dealers here. He is the only person who touches the car when I take it in for service. I always tell them the same thing. If it’s wearing, I want it replaced. I attached the CARFAX. I don’t have any service records besides what I did to the car. I do have the original books, radio card, two keys, etc.

By coincidence I actually know who one of the past owners was. He also owned it once it started getting treated like a collector car. You can see on the CARFAX that the first 60k miles were put on early, then about 15 years ago the car began accumulating mileage at a much slower pace.

Thanks for your interest!
