Equipment
4983/315hp, automatic, sunroof, Evo II wheels, removable stereo face, leather upholstery.
Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
A well-cared-for 500E coming from long-time single-family ownership. Paint only showing a few nicks, lower front valence has road wear, headlight lenses aged, grille and grille surround lightly marked. The engine cover lettering is worn. Really all just small stuff. Interior is excellent, with seats, headliner, and dashboard all presenting better than the 64,150 miles showing would suggest.
Market commentary
Famously the S-Class built by Porsche, the 500E is one of the best Benzes from the late 1980s to early 1990s even if it just looks like a W124 with fender flares to the casual observer. This one sold for $52,500 on Bring a Trailer in 2021, and that was a strong price. Even though 500Es have appreciated since then, this is still a huge price for one in 2023. The new owner can at least take comfort in the fact that 64k miles aren't anything to worry about, since these cars were screwed together very carefully and can run forever with the right (expensive) maintenance.
