[E_420]

Like the title said, whats the genral price I should find in a 500E or E500? Any year, but 1992 is preffered. milage dont care about. If the numbers come up just right, then i'll be puttin up some want adds around.lol I have to own a early 90's 500E.


Whats the difference between the E500 and the 500E? Just like the 400E and the E420. 300E, E300? ect ect.

I don't believe there is much difference at all between the E500 and 500E. A gentlemen in our MBCA club has one for sale. It was the original Mercedes Show car, he's asking $30k.

...You mean apart from the fact that some of the 500Es (including the 1992 year iirc) were built in collaboration with Porsche?? (aka the "Velvet Hammer")
Those models are rare.

All 500E500's were built as a collaboration between Porsche and Mercedes.

The differences between 92-93 500E's and '94 E500's is the same as with other W124 chassis cars: The '94 cars are facelifted with the newer integrated grill and Euro style headlights.

'92 500E's also is the only year iirc with the older style armrest in that it is just a padded armrest. '93 and '94 cars have the armrest with the flip up storage compartment.

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.

what do you mean? I dont know what the car is? Yes I do its a car.lol So is my E420. Please tell me why I need to know every last detail about a earlyer model MB before buying it?

Buy a 400E unless you REALLY know what you are doing.

You can get a very nice 400E for $5K to $7K. Probably 80% of the performance for less than 35% of the cost. That is a good deal in anyone's book.

Like 5 bbroken parts on the air. I bought it off this guy and it was his CAMPING car. total disrespecting it.
