dang $30k? i could buy a 2003-2004 E500 for that price. like serously.

I have been watching 500's for quite a while now and have seen some for 10K and one the other day for 46K High miles don't matter ??? do you feel lucky ? Like anything else, you will get what you pay for. As for the 30K for the old 500E, or the new one,,, I'd take the old one any day,, assuming it is truly a well preserved and documented example.

They cost $15k for a banger and $30k for a good one. A couple of points: (1) Don't buy one - you can't handle the expense. (2) A 2003-04 E500 will sink in value as you use it, the 500E will not. You don't really sound like you have any idea what the car is, and although I'm all for people educating themselves about new things (MBs in particular), it would be best if you learn much, much more prior to purchasing an old Mercedes.
