1994 Mercedes-Benz E500​

​

This 1994 Mercedes-Benz E500 was initially delivered to Marlin Imports of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and it has remained registered in that state through the seller’s purchase from the original owner in 2024. Powered by a 5.0-liter M119 V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, the car is finished in Smoke Silver Metallic over beige leather upholstery. Equipment includes 16″ eight-hole alloy wheels, a power sunroof, fog lights, a self-leveling rear suspension, Automatic Slip Control, automatic climate control, a Becker cassette stereo, heated power-adjustable front seats, and cruise control. This W124 E500 is offered at no reserve with a window sticker, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title in the seller’s name.​

​

The E500 was designed and produced in collaboration with Porsche, with final assembly completed by Porsche in Stuttgart. This example is finished in Smoke Silver Metallic (702) and features matching bumper covers and lower cladding. Additional exterior features include headlights with washers and wipers, integrated fog lights, a retractable antenna, and a power sunroof. The hood, front fenders, front bumper cover, and right rear quarter panel have been refinished. The seller notes paint chips, dings, and clearcoat scratches and blemishes around the body.​

​

The 16″ eight-hole alloy wheels are mounted with Pirelli tires. The car is equipped with Automatic Slip Control (ASR) as well as a self-leveling rear suspension. The E500 featured a wider track and lower ride height when compared with other W124 models, and it shared its front disc brakes with the contemporary R129 SL. The strut mounts were replaced in 2022, the brake pads were replaced and the brake fluid was changed in 2024, and the ABS module was replaced in 2025.​

​

The cabin features heated power-adjustable front seats upholstered in Parchment leather, along with a color-coordinated lower dashboard, door panels, and carpeting. Wood trim accents the interior, and amenities include automatic climate control, a Becker cassette stereo, a power-adjustable steering column, dual front airbags, and cruise control. The seller notes cracks in the wood veneer trim and sagging in the rear portion of the headliner.​

​

The four-spoke 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 159k miles, approximately 500 of which were added under current ownership.​

​

The 5.0-liter M119 DOHC V8 was factory rated at 322 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque. The engine wiring harness was replaced in 2019, the air conditioning compressor was replaced in 2022, and the distributor cap and rotor, spark plugs, and fuel pump were replaced in 2024. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale. ​

​

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The transmission fluid and differential fluid were changed in 2024. The window sticker lists initial delivery to Marlin Imports of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, as well as factory colors, equipment, and a total suggested retail price of $82,975. The Carfax report is free of accidents or other reported damage.​

The No Reserve hammer on this one will be instructive I think.

I believe the 22k was a fat finger bid

Edit: maybe not

This went for ALL the monies, and then some, and then some more... given the shot paint & tired leather. Top 2 bidders pushed it FAR beyond bidders #3/4/5.

Strange to read all the gushing about the color combo when 702 was the 3rd most common color imported into USA and almost every single one had mushroom/beige interior.

~$42,250 with vig, pushing $45k all-in with TTTT.

Yea, I thought the cheer leading with color was weird and I have the same color...

I like the color my car is but I definitely don't think it's special
