This car is near a few of my work accounts. If anyone is seriously interested, I could drop in and have a look. From the pictures though, I don't expect it to be worth $18,000. My opinion is only an opinion, but white isn't my favorite color for these cars.

J-Sauce,
You must be looking for another E500/500E?
You found this one before I did !
White isn't my favorite color either. I am sure there is someone whose favorite color is white.

White isn't my favorite color either but I like it a lot! I do think black interior would be a better combo though.

Re: FS: 1992 500E Whittier, CA. White on Grey

I think I have seen this car in Del Mar Ca before, there was an older man driving it. I mean how many white 500E with chrome 3 pcs AMG wheels can there be in So Ca ?

Almost sounds like a flipper or consignment shop picked it up, but the original ad shouldn't still be around in that case. Weird.

That really made me laugh. I employ a similar device on newcomers to the shop. Invariably at some point he will ask for a "tire chuck". I carry on sarcastically, reminding him that he is not working in a Kia shop, and then hand him what I point out is a "tire Charles around here!"

Similarly, at some point in time this individual will be taking a dollar bill out of his pocket and running it through a window seal interface to check for tightness, as most mechanics will do. Once again, I will go off with something like "WTF do you think you are going to accomplish with that? This is a Mercedes Benz facility!" I then hand him a $20 or a $50, whatever larger denomination I happen to have in my pocket at that time. The correct tool for the job, you know...

Has anyone looked at this car in person? Thinking about checking it out tomorrow, but the ad sure seems like the seller is a flipper.

I personally love the white.

Well, it also looks like they replaced the headlight wipers, so maybe that's a $8500 spit shine.

I'm so glad I got my car before this "gold rush"...

Yeah, but I didn't account for that, deeming it an even swap money wise with the AMG's they can still sell.

This car might actually sell for $25k if they would bother to replace the coolant expansion tank!

Your right, he said that he had been looking for 1 for years and he put the 19's on it.

Anyone notice the bumper strip is now painted black? I like Greg's (8899) all white lower cladding.

Re: FS: 1993 500E, White/Grey, 131kmi, $25k (Flipper, Phoenix, AZ)

Since it is pre-facelift, I'm pretty certain that this car came from the factory with the black bumper strips. My take is that one of the POs had the lowers re-painted Arctic White to match the rest of the car, and thus deleted the Sato-Grey paint on the lowers.

I don't mind the discussion about flipping. If and when it occurs, it should definitely be called out and vetted.

However, I don't like it in the title of the thread -- in that context it is a bit of an insult.

russo and steele auction cars (1994 and 1993)

this 1994 is being auctioned today (click here for thread with photos and details):
https://russoandsteele.com/vehicle-...o=0&search_text=e500&page=featured&showpage=1

this 1993 is going up for auction on Sunday (WDBEA36E7PB969492)
https://russoandsteele.com/vehicle-...o=0&search_text=500e&page=featured&showpage=1

Vehicle to be offered for Auction sale June 5th 7th, 2015 at Russo and Steele’s 3rd Annual Newport Beach, California Auction. Please contact us for more information.

From 1990 to 1994 (model years 19911994), Mercedes-Benz sold a high-performance version of the W124, the Mercedes-Benz 500 E (W124.036). The 500 E was created in close cooperation with Porsche; each 500 E was hand-built by Porsche, being transported back and forth between the Mercedes plant and Porsche’s Rossle-Bau plant in Zuffenhausen, Germany during assembly taking a full 18 days to complete each model. Design began in 1989 and into 1991. Called ‘500 E’ through model year 1993, for model year 1994 it was face-lifted along with the rest of the range and renamed to ‘E 500′.

1528 of the “super” sports sedans were imported into the USA between late 1991 and late 1994, or roughly 500 cars per year of importation.​
