Looks pretty clean overall. @bclifton, this car looks waaaay nicer than the black one you had bookmarked, for less $$$...

No prior record of this car in my personal database. Not a huge surprise, being an alleged one-owner car; it wouldn't have surfaced for sale prior to this.

@bclifton,
Brian, if you’re looking for a nice 500E this appears to be the one. It says 1 Owner but the guy is a Dealer. That said his $50K price is not outrageous and might be negotiable.

I’m not on Facebook and never want to be so no access. Not a lot of useful pics on it in the add but it is 100% CA car so should be 0 rust on undercarriage. Unusual to me anyway is that the PS door pocket is peeling back quite a bit. DS side is starting to but both are fixable. It appears to me from the looking down from above pic that all 4 Monoblocks are 9-1/2”.

As Dave said it’s a way better car than your previous selection. In the pics the paint looks good but they are too far away to see what condition the clear coat is in. IMOP, It needs way more and better closeup pics or a personal inspection before any purchase.

Just my opinion.

I can go take a look if someone needs.

Wow! First Smoke silver car from California I have ever seen that has nice black anodized trim!

WOW. In a dream car situation, the 199 blue/black paint color is my personal favorite. But this car is a beauty. You're right, way nicer!

I could always look at selling my SL320 and the 300D... (not sure how much I'd get LOL). Or maybe the real solution is building an addition to the house for 2 extra garage spaces

More garage space is always the answer though wives rarely agree.

maw

EDIT... this car has basically been stashed away for the last 10 years... hopefully brought our for service.

Seller's description​

1994 Mercedes E500 painted in Smoke Silver Metallic with Beige leather. This is a 3 owner California Car originally delivered to South Bay Autohaus in Torrence, CA now with 84,500 miles. Clean Title, clean Carfax, no known accident history. I've had the privilege of owning this car for the past 2 years and it's now time for it to find a new home.

Recent Services:
- Obligatory Oil Changes
- Fuel Injectors
- Kick Down Switch
- Throttle Cable

Known Flaws:
- Rear Headrest do not fold
- Headliner is sagging
- Front door pockets need upholstery re-glued, otherwise in excellent condition
- In some light conditions the paint base coat is showing some SOCAL paint weathering. The clear coat is in good condition and is only noticeable in full sunlight at certain angles. This can be seen best in the c-pillar photos in the gallery. I believe this to be the original paint according to the previous owner.

Car is located in Burlingame, CA. Serious parties can reach out for more information. Please include more in your message than inquiring if it is available.
