E500 prices keep dropping. I traded my 94 E500 two years ago and don't regret it. I could replace the car today for $10,000 less. Face it, 1543 cars is too many to ensure exclusivity and resultant price support.BTW I just drove a new Jaguar SType R, with supercharged 4.2 motor. It outperforms my 94 E500 in acceleration and handles better. Plus it has a 6speed automatic. I am considering one.
