It is unfortunate that the present market is not appreciating these unique high-performance sedans from Mercedes. The 500E's combination of the "over engineered" W124 chassis + the performance of the M119 engine, with Porsche's modification talents, make these vehicles not only daily drivers but cars that can be enthusiastically driven.

I am motivated to sell the car and therefore have reduced the price to $9,850.

That looks like a real nice car, but I'm not interested in an $8k stereo system in any way... Would you have any interest in selling it without the tunes, & if so how much would you want for it that way?

Are you willing to trade with some cash thrown in for a very nice completely stock w123 wagon with third row seats, cargo cover and alloy hubcap wheels?

If I had the money I would buy this magnificent machine. Good luck with the sale. Personally I think it's worth every penny.
