Hi, I am selling my 1993 500E because I need a daily driver and I refuse to make this car one. I have always used this car along with my other collector cars as a leisure driver and not a commuter vehicle.This car has a salvaged title due to a theft and not a collision. Doesn't bother me and if it bothers you then I understand
These cars are quite rare and are actually a handmade car and a joint venture between Mercedes and Porsche. I will not list all the attributes but if you're not familiar with this car a simple web search of 1993 500E will give you everything you need to know. Be careful, you may get hooked as I did. If you're a car person, this is definitely a car to check off your bucket list. When asked the question what was the best Mercedes ever built, most Mercedes top brass claim the 500E and I have to agree.
The car is extremely powerful, comfortable, very tight and drives like it's on rails which is quite nice considering the size.
The car is in great condition and has always been taken care of. I would put it at a 8.5 out of 10 cosmetically and a 10/10 mechanically. Paint and interior are great and the engine bay looks close to new and everything works except the 6 disc changer in the trunk. Not sure what is up with that but a phone call to Becker may give a simple solution..
There are no rips in the leather, the motor compartment looks new, tires are good, rims have some curb rash and gouges but are original. Headliner is a tad bit loose above passenger seat but fine. Interior wood is in great condition. The car is rust free and has always been in CA and garaged
The car was stolen, paid off by the insurance company and then recovered after it was paid off. Therefore the car has a salvaged title due to theft NOT collision. The lower body kit was painted black like the rest of the car when it was stolen when I purchased it in 2011 I painted it the matte body color it is today.
I would much rather have a salvaged titled well maintained and clean 500E than a clean titled one that has been neglected.
I had the car smog inspected last weekend so it is ready for sale. The emissions numbers on the smog test were extremely low on the acceptable range so I know the motor is extremely tight and still in great shape.
This is an awesome car and if you have any questions please just ask. I have the car fax history report I can email you free of charge if you send me a note with your personal email address.
Read my feedback and bid with confidence that what you bid on is what you will receive.Title in hand and current registration through October 2013
Thanks,
Bob

Mercedes FWD platform to last until 2018, convertible and two-seater future uncertain
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Mercedes-Benz seems to be expecting a lot of success from its front-wheel-drive CLA-Class. Automotive News is reporting that the sub-C-Class sedan could grow when its second generation arrives in 2018.
The current FWD platform for MB underpins the CLA, the B-Class, the GLA-Class, and the A-Class. The B-Class will arrive in North America as an EV for spring of 2014, while the production GLA crossover will arrive three to four months after that. The five-door A-Class won't be crossing The Pond. Sad faces all around.
According to AN, another model will be based on the front-drive architecture, but it won't be coming to the US market. Set to arrive next year, rumors are that it'll be a wagon version of the CLA, sort of like the ill-named five-door CLS Shooting Brake that is also a Europe-only item.
2014 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series [w/video]
Fri, 15 Nov 2013The biggest misconception about the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series is that it's simply a higher-performing version of the SLS GT - a closer look, or better yet, a few hot laps on a high-speed racing circuit, reveals that is anything but the case.
Launched in the States in mid-2011, the standard SLS GT is a 583-horsepower, all-aluminum, gull-wing coupe with performance that positions it near the top of the exotic segment. While the AMG team at Mercedes-Benz could have left it alone, their experience with the SLS AMG GT3 race car said there was room for improvement, so they devised the SLS Black Series. The transformation from SLS GT to SLS Black Series is extensive, with no fewer than 17 different significant enhancements.
The engine mapping, crankshaft, connecting rods, valve-train, intake, exhaust and cooling are all modified and the engine's redline bumps up from 7,200 to 8,000 rpm, which pushes output of the hand-built 6.3-liter V8 to 622 horsepower. The power steering receives a new ratio, a coil-over AMG Adaptive Performance suspension is installed along with underbody braces, the track is widened, two-piece carbon-ceramic brakes replace iron rotors at each corner and a lightweight titanium exhaust is fitted beneath. The AMG Speedshift seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox is modified and an electronically controlled AMG rear differential lock ensures the power goes to the pavement. Last on the mechanical upgrades are new lightweight forged wheels (10x19 inches front and 12x20 inches rear) wrapped in special R-compound Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires.
Carlsson SLK 340 Judd is winged up for hill climb glory
Wed, 06 Mar 2013Carlsson has been expertly tuning Mercedes-Benz products for more than 20 years now, but we can't say as we remember the outfit turning out anything quite so racy as this SLK 340 Judd that it has brought along to the Geneva Motor Show this year.
This SLK is meant for competition, obviously, and Carlsson has already booked the car to race in several hill climb events in the E1 category. The purpose-built racer should have a fighting chance to do well in said races, with a shape vetted in wind tunnel testing for maximum downforce, the SLK uses a carbon-fiber bodyshell to help achieve a curb weight of just about 1,720 pounds.
The featherweight SLK's name comes from its 3.4-liter V8 engine, which churns out a wicked 610 horsepower to go with its 317 pound-feet of torque. A Hewland transmission with paddle shift operation manages all of the thrust.
