There is no shortage of 500es around, especially in Texas (seems like they all come from there) Get on ebay and have at it.

No Thanks!

Buying a car on eBay is a hit or miss deal. I have bought one car on eBay and sold one car on eBay. Both transactions have been horrible. I would rather buy a car from someone on the form, that will no the history.

Not some dead beat dealer who bought some mystery car on Manheim and trying to make a quick buck by lying about its conditions...

Do I sound bitter...

It's from experience...Trust me eBay is a BAD deal unless you get to look at the car...

Jason

If you were closer...I could hook you up with either a silver 94' or a black 93' 500E...

But, as said, plenty of them to choose from lately from all over the USA. F- eBay I say on finding a nice 500E....that place stinks for buying a good car. An aquaitance just got burned on a 2005 Audi S4 Avant for 42K $$ ...totally trashed and mis-represented. What a sucker...

Buying on ebay is no better or worse than buying sight unseen by any other means, meaning it's a bad idea. Anyone who drops a huge amount of money on something they haven't seen up close or at least gotten a thorough independent evaluation is just asking for punishment.

I mention ebay because lots of them turn up there, and lots & lots of them are in Texas. I found mine on ebay & it's a winner, but I damn sure went and thoroughly checked out the car (in Houston) first.

I've decided to sell my 500E. It is rather high mileage, (157,000) but I've addressed virtually every known 500E issue, and have replaced almost all consumables. I have $17,000 in receipts in the last year.
I've done the timing chain, both upper and lower rails, chain tensioner, belt tensioner, radiator clutch, new valves, all new hoses, rebuilt transmission, a/c overhaul, throttle actuator, fairly new tires and more which I can't remember right now (all in the last year).
Since I've had the car (3 years), I've replaced the rear suspension pneumatic parts, alternator, starter, power steering pump, and much more which I cannot remember right now.
Prior owner replaced the wire harness under warranty.
I recently left my car with my tech for a week while i was out of town, and asked him to check it out. he reports back that it seems to be perfect.

I want a convertible!

Tom

Email me if you'd like. I'm located in the Bay Area.
