1993 Mercedes-benz 500e Base Sedan 4-door 5.0l - 83,571 Orig Miles on 2040-cars
Atlanta, Georgia, United States
|
Rare Mercedes 500E
built in partnership with Porsche Brief history and
condition report- This is a one
owner car and has been in GA since 1993. Well serviced by RBM of Atlanta. The
car has NEVER been neglected and no maintenance has ever been ignored or
delayed. At 83,571miles, the car is performing perfectly. Not even a fluid
drip of any kind on the ground. Never damaged or smoked in. All factory
original paint still covers the car. The interior is also original and in
amazing condition with soft leather. Each and every creature comfort and power
option operates correctly. All mechanical and electrical components are
functioning properly. There are no service indicators illuminated and I am
aware of no issues requiring repair. New Michelin Pilots were installed with
under 5000 miles on them. I will provide more detailed information below. Most
of us know the pedigree these rare Benz performance Sedans carry. Very low
production numbers for the few years they were produced. With window sticker
prices of $80,000 twenty years ago, these are in fact a rare breed. Mercedes
Benz in every way but unique in almost all respects. These cars were a joint
venture between MB and Porsche. They were hand built at the Porsche factory and
transported back and forth several times during assembly between the two plants
in Germany. One look at the wide-body fenders front and rear is the most
visible discerning characteristic of the 500E. The 5.0 liter V8 provided by
it's 500SL brother is a hidden benefit that boasts 322 horse power and a 0 to
60 time of just over five seconds. These cars were hailed by all who tested
them and received glowing reviews in every publication that had the privilege
of examining and driving one. I will not bore you here with technical data or
statistics. You can research for yourself on the internet if so inclined. In
short, these are incredible automobiles even by today's standards. The body and
paint are in impressive original condition considering its age. There are minor
scratched and road rash expected. There are a few scratches and road rash as to be expected from a 21 year old vehicle. There are two door dings on the driver/rear fender (not worth mentioning) and one on the passenger front fender. There is sadly a small ding in the grill. Please note: The European headlamps with wiper-delete
panels ($3000+) were a very costly upgrade that was performed when the car was
near new. I welcome showing my
Mercedes in person to anyone with genuine interest. I live very near the Atlanta
Airport and would gladly pick you up. Each photo shows the Benz clearly and
accurately from as many angles as I could think of. It is my intention to make
this as close to you seeing and touching the car for yourself as possible. Feel
free to click on the "ask a question" link here in the auction and I
will respond to all polite questions. Phone calls are great too. My telephone
number is 770.329.3295 and calls between 8AM and 9PM Eastern time are
fine. My auction runs for 7 days. I reserve the right
to end my auction early in the event I accept a genuine offer and my Mercedes
becomes no longer available. *If you are outside
of the U.S. or Canada, PLEASE contact me to confirm your bidding activity as
genuine.* Everyone, please be
sure to read my terms of sale located near the bottom of this screen. I'm a
reasonable person but I will not bend on these basic terms unless previously
discussed during the auction. A little communication goes a long way. NO RESERVE AUCTION starting June 2nd 2014 I did not set a
reserve price on my Benz. All that I ask in return is for your bids to be real
and your intent to purchase is sincere. I took every picture you're about to
see in my driveway at home 3 days before this auction started. No photo has
been altered or enhanced in any way. This is my car and these pictures are true
to her in-person appearance. I have described my Benz honestly
and to the best of my ability based on over 25 years of owning and driving
classic cars. I have 100% faith in the drivability of my Mercedes and
everything is in excellent working order per my written description provided
above. I enjoy driving her without concern and would not hesitate taking a
cross-country trip today but she is over 20 years old so routine service and
repairs should be expected based on her age. If you are not comfortable with a
sight-unseen purchase, please come see the car for yourself or have an
independent inspection performed PRIOR to bidding, NOT
after. I will not be responsible for the decisions of others. Free and clear
Oregon Certificate Of Title will be provided. I would appreciate
the winning bidder contacting me immediately upon end of auction just so
the lines of communication are opened. My telephone number is 503-575-0404 TRANSPORT - SHIPPING I am happy to be an active and hands-on
part of this entire process from start to finish but the buyer is ultimately
responsible for pickup or shipping of this vehicle and any pre-purchase inspections
need to be done BEFORE auction ending. If you wish to
have it shipped using a service, I will gladly assist in loading and be present
for the transport condition form and other reasonable help. Locating a
transporter is the buyers responsibility but I can make recommendations and
share the relationships I've built. Vehicle transport has become very
reasonable. I personally use a privately dispatched trucking company. They
have handled my transport needs perfectly for the last several years with
careful handling, excellent rates and fast service even all the way to the East
Coast. I will provide contact info at your request. Dependable Auto Shippers
(D.A.S.) is a transporter that eBay recommends and my experiences with them
before I started using only private carriers were just fine. My location zip
code is 30317. Coast-to-Coast transport is around $1200.00 and even
less the closer you are to Atlanta. Shipping to Australia, Europe and other
Countries has also become affordable and easy to arrange. *If you are outside of the United
States or Canada, you MUST contact me
to confirm your bidding activity as authentic.* If you are an eBay
member with negative history or have a (0) or even a low transaction score, I
need to hear from you just to verify your sincerity and accept your bids
as genuine. We all started from (0) and I'm happy to give a leg up. I reserve
the right to cancel bids at any point for these reasons. Email or phone contact
is fine. Communication is all I ask. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time if the vehicle is no longer
available or otherwise SOLD. |

Mercedes has already booked 30k orders for new S-Class
Mon, 21 Oct 2013When Toyota snags 30,000 Corolla orders over a three-month span, it's entirely possible we're in the midst of a global economic collapse and that the end is nigh. That's because the scale for Toyota is so very large. Mercedes-Benz, on the other hand, operates on a much smaller scale, particularly when we talk about its higher-end models, like the S-Class.
In 2012, Mercedes sold 65,000 of its flagship sedans in Germany and the EU. That's 178 units per day, for 365 days. Based on that, you can imagine the excitement at Stuttgart when it accepted 30,000 orders for the new S-Class in just three months. That's an average of 333 per day on a continent with a notoriously shaky economy. Now, admittedly, this enthusiasm could wane as the refitted S-Class becomes more common and Mercedes achieves market saturation in Europe's many chauffeur and livery services, but Mercedes isn't choosing to look at it that way.
"The new S-Class has already jumped back into the lead in terms of new vehicle registrations in Germany and its neighboring European countries," Mercedes-Benz head of sales and marketing, Ola Kaellenius, said in a statement last week.
Mercedes A45 AMG in downhill battle with slipstream skateboarder
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We're told it takes "performance, control and expression" to pilot a longboard skateboard down a mountain road, and that those happen to be the same values embodied in the Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG. That's how the two came to be combined in a black-and-white short film called Silver Slipstream.
There's no talking, no engine note and no color, just some music, a 'boarder and a car on a long cruise down the Franschhoek Pass in the Western Cape of South Africa." Despite that, it's actually a pretty entertaining video of the latest Mercedes-Benz hot hatch married with extreme sports. You can watch how it all goes down in the video below.
Man makes record-setting drive across the US in 28 hours, 50 minutes
Fri, 01 Nov 2013Records, as the say, are made to be broken. Whether that's cramming the most hot dogs down your gullet, running a faster mile, or yes, driving across the United States, odds are that there's someone out there wants to eat more, run faster or drive harder. Speaking of that last example, the record for driving from a set location on the east coast, in particular the Red Ball Garage in Manhattan to the Portofino Hotel in Redondo Beach, CA, has been one that has fascinated gearheads since a guy named Cannonball Baker made the trek from New York to LA in 53 hours, 30 minutes, in 1933.
The competition saw its glory days when Car and Driver's Brock Yates came up with the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash (more affectionately known as the Cannonball Run), although the record was most recently set by Alex Roy and his 32-hour, seven-minute trek behind the wheel of a BMW M5 in 2006. Now, there's a new champion, who made the trip from east to west in a scarcely imaginable 28 hours and 50 minutes, behind the wheel of a 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG. That's works out to an average speed of 98 miles per hour over the course of 2,813.7 miles.
His name is Ed Bolian, and Jalopnik has a writeup of the epic voyage that details everything from the history of the Cannonball Run to Bolian's preparation and trouble finding co-drivers, to the trip itself. It is well worth a read.
