No affiliation, this is getting sick guys, these Cars are popping up all around me in Northern California, and as some kind of punishment I keep looking at them. Now that I am 40 my days of impulse buying thankfully are under control, but its getting harder and harder to resist! ... must sell other Mercedes first, must get to Porsche maintenance first, must get wife's E350 wagon to body ship...

UPDATE: Price reduced to $10,900 "firm", as of Ovt-18, 2011:

I'm selling my rare 500E. Chances are if you are reading this you know some about the lineage of the 500E. If not Google it for specs and story. This 92 clad in anthracite taupe, with light gray interior has 160,000 miles. It is very clean with all kinds of recent major service done including new timing chains, headwork and valves, sensors, caps, rotors, plugs, thermostat and more. Also has 4 new GoodYear Eages. I know I've enjoyed having an exclusive hand built performance sedan owners paid over $100k for when new. Every time I drive the car I realize they really are special. This car does have needs as some burlwood trim pieces have cracking, and the drivers seat is showing it's usage wear. It is almost twenty years old, but most all parts are readily available. Most collectible cars do not appreciate until the 25 year mark. Several magazines have already made the claim this car should be sought after as a classic collectible. The Stereo is not working but I think it could be a simple fix. Having just invested over $7500 on it I am asking $12500 obo. I will entertain cash offers but am not dumping it by any means. Just have too many toys right now.

Please Call or text Steve at 510 506 5070. I do not respond to emails without a phone number.



And just as some kind of additional punishment for myself, I may take a look at this car tomorrow, as it will be near home over the next few days. I like this one very much so far and my short talk with the owner.

Indeed California is mecca for 500Es, and if it's a lifetime Cali car you're not going to have tinworm prollems either. Mine came from Marin County.

Be patient ... you'll know the right car when you see it.

Cheers,
Gerry

I, for one, have to say that I am enjoying all your posts. Seeing whats available in the E500E world price/mileage/condition wise is quite interesting. Keep looking (and keep posting!). Like Gerry said, the right car will pop up soon.

Good Luck!

Wow it really did pop right up about 2 hours ago. I think Ricardo has 500E fever and he doesn't even own one yet! If you have the time Ricardo you should still check out all these nearby cars to get a good feel of whats out there regardless of your intent to purchase.

New chain, headwork and valves probably means this car suffered the same problem as our fellow member qcar (story herehttp://www.benzworld.org/forums/w124-e-ce-d-td-class/1569942-94-500e-sale.html).

In fairness to myself and my fever, I was texted by the owner letting me know about the auction, I had tried earlier to sync up with him and the car when he was in town, but we were never able to meet.

The car I actually really would like to purchase is the Missouri car but can't get my head around the salvaged title.

Auction ended at $8390 and reserve not met, this is the brutal market I was referring to.

Thank You

If it doesn't have any major issues, it looks like a very good deal at the $10,500 asking price. I'm surprised it didn't sell at $12.5k, but the poor photos do not help when selling a car nationwide.

Ricardo,

Are you located in San Diego?
 
I'm located in Orange county and in San Diego at my sister in laws regularly if anyone needs eyes on the street. In Nor Cal through Thursday.
