Nicest '92 500E in the world for sale? 2.9 kms on it.

Garage Current in Japan has the best "new" used Mercedes Benz cars in the world for sale I think

Or this ultra rare almandine 1992 (yes!!!) 560SEC with just 4.8 kms on it.

Check the ultra rare Mercedes Benz parking assist pole on the right front bumper.

Can't find better than these. Back in the 80s and 90s it was considered the hgeght of prestige to have a new left hand drive Mercedes Benz in right hand drive Japan.

Love that SEC. Although the first thing I would do is remove said Ultra-rare parking poll.

That 500E has 29,000km on it and it cost $50,000. There is no bargaining from that price, they tack all sorts of additional charges on top, the BS capital of the world in car sales is Japan.
The MY2000 W210 I inquired about was listed for $17,000 (in 2006 with 69k on it in excellent condition) by the time they finished it was almost $22,000 and they didn't want to go down.
Left had drive cars are more expensive in Japan, they have snob appeal. The parking assist is found on many big cars, especially if the owner is of golden age, not rare at all.

Thats a nice car, could probably be imported through Canada.
