If anyone knows of, or has one of these for sale, please let me know as I would like to find one that is in as original condition as possible. No SELs please, just the short wheelbase car and any color combo is fine. I have an original AMG suspension for one of these cars which I'm dying to put on one if I could ever find it!

Might sell a 86 420 SE; very rare euro with very very rare MB options such as trip computer and transmission with Sport Shift mode. color Gold; no SR; 91K miles; legally imported and federalized; good paint (gold) velour interior recently replaced; runs like a rocket but needs wires and injectors to cure small hesitation; small leak in muffler joint; chains done recently; no overheating or leaks; AC works; needs a bit of paint detailing since repaint was not rubed out good. Might only sell if I get $7,500 cash or I keep this rare beast.

there is one up here with 37,000 miles (60,000km) 1988 500se asking 25,000 Can... not winter driven and mint shape... white and euro specs..........go to www.autotrader.ca seach under eastern ontario and you can see it 4 ur self.......good luck

I have a 1984 500se. It's petrol blue with grey leather interior and fully loaded (even with heated front seats). It's a great car and I'd never thought of selling it before (my wife drives it), but maybe...

Let me know if you're interested.

Further research on Euro 420 SE rare options computer and Sport Shift tranny: have found info on two other 126 cars with same rare options; both were special order AMG Stage I engine cars. This 420 SE feels way more powerful than 560's so it may be? Paint detailed nicely; wires and injectors cured small idle shake; compression check showed a strong sucker of an engine; tranny service showed no problems; muffler leak repaired. A delight to drive, brings lots of admiring glances.

There is a 500 sec euro in the Palm Beach Post here in Palm Beach. asking is $7900.

I have a 1980 500sel Lorinser. It is a real lorinser with paperwork. Its obviously a euro. Has hydromatic suspension, custom lorinser silver paint on blue leather. I may sell it. It does have rust. I would be reasonable on price if you were interested.

How do you distinguish if the car is Euro or US spec?
Thanks

www.ditmire.com

I also believe it was pretty inexpensive - you should also be able to get a pretty cheap flight into the AC airport...

good luck

Are you still looking for a euro 500se?

If so..... I found one yesterday (surprisingly) right down the street from my house.

It's a 1984 500se, Black/palomino. 187k.

The good news: Body is in great shape. Power everything, adjustable rear seat, heated front seats, automatic climate control, leather, ABS, NO self-leveling suspension. It's still got both euro bumpers intact, along with the euro headlights. It starts right up and runs. There is no rust that I could find. Its also got those multi-spoke WIDE wheels that you always see on these older Euro Mercedes (not sure what they're called..).
The engine looks good, it's surprisingly clean.

The bad news: Front seats are quite worn, no radio, wood trim piece that goes around the climate control is broken, not sure what all works/doesnt work. The car smoked quite a bit when I cranked it up. The starter stays engaged too long too. The car made this really strange noise when it was running, sounded like it needed a new exhaust system (may have been non-existant!)

But anyways, he was asking $1500, but it seems like he'd take as little as $500 for it. I'd buy it, but I just don't need it.

Basically, it's a 500se with a good body, and most of the 'right' options. With a little work, it'd be a nice car.

It's located about 40mi from Atlanta, GA

If you'd like pictures, I'd be glad to go take some of it.
PM me if you're interested.....

damn that sounds like a nice project car. i wish i was in GA i'd totally buy it.

Yeah, it does have a lot of potential. Like I said, I'd buy it myself, but I just bought a 300te, and between the 300te and my Audi Cq, I'd never get anything done with the 500se

I dunno....it's tempting. I may go offer him $500 for it this week if it's still there

There's a 1983 500SE in the local paper here with 115,000 miles, the asking price is $15,000
