You will only find one with a low price ( as you put it) if it has accident history/ rust / very high miles / needs $15000 of maintenance. I would certainly not sell my low mileage example for a "low" price

I found one for 58000 euros 2 owners 150000km with a dark gray interior almost fully speced do you think it’s a good deal?

Two Limiteds have been sold on Collecting Cars during this year, one for £47k, the other for £45K - both with around 90k miles.

So your find at Euros 58k for 150k km would seem to be at the top of market? Of course, it's all down to condition.

Sounds reasonable, depending on work required. What do you mean by fully speced?

You definitely do NOT want to buy this car unseen. Get yourself on a plane to go see it - or as a minimum try and get a reliable person, knowledgeable in 500s, in Germany, to go see it for you!

+eleventybillion. NEVER buy a car like this without seeing it in person, and driving it.

If the car spent any length of time in Germany, hidden rust is another major concern. Get photos of the undercarriage before you see it in person, then make sure the seller can get it on a lift when you do inspect the car personally. Another option is to have a PPI done, but that's risky, as the shop doing the inspection may or may not do a good job.

I am from Eastern Europe and I defiantly know how to spot out cars because 90% cars in my country are stolen, mileage is not real, crashed and so on

What do you mean by fully speced?

Good question! The specs of all Limited's were always almost identical.

Except for some unimportant differences in: auxiliary heating (228), memory seats (241/242), automatic climate control (581), CD-changer in the trunk (519) or an original MB-telephone (270/272/274, combined with antenne splitter and different type of front armrest).

@ANANAS654: Don't stare yourself blind on specs. Service history and condition (underhood and chassis) are far more important. For € 58K you can't expect a very good example. If there is work on it: be aware that not every part is still available.

To modify an old adage... the most expensive Limited you can buy will be a cheap Limited. (Same applies to most any Mercedes.)

Yes, I ordered "standheizung" on a W124 Kombi I bought in Germany in the 1980's......total waste of money, unless you live in Alaska. In Europe I think I used it twice in 5 years.
I have automatic climate control on my LTD, but I actually prefer the manual control that I had on another 500E.
The MB telephone systemis also a waste of time now with modern cell phones.
