Hi Paul-

from following 500e/e500 buyers/owners chatter over the years ..not really sure that the '92 500e's are the 'most sought after' ....

weren't the published factory perf figures 0-60mph and top speed identical? (...and the difference 315hp vs 322hp @ a net of 2%; similar diff in torque specs)?

I've observed that there's a distinct following for each 500e/e500 model year(s) for various reasons: tastes, bias's, etc.

In either case, performance-wise they are alot of MB for street use.

best regards
