1992 Mercedes Benz 500E

I am selling my beautiful and rare 500E.
As you may know, the 500E was a joint collaboration between Mercedes and Porsche to build the fastest sedan in the world.
The resulting 500E is a beast, and in the early 90's it was both feared and respected by the drivers it passed on the Interstates and Autobahns.
These rare and expensive cars were out of reach for most in 1992, and today you can buy this outstanding example for pennies on the dollar!

1 of 1502 imported 1992-95
Porsche developed and hand built to be the fastest sedan sold in USA in 1992
Metallic black over black leather
18" CLS staggered replica wheels with 85%+ tires
Lowered with H&R springs Koni adjustable front shocks
Factory SLS rear shocks in good condition
Slotted rotors with Porterfield RS brake pads
All factory options
Perfect CarFax
283k mi on chassis Engine refreshed around 200k
250 miles on $3,500 freshly rebuilt transmission
Deep throaty exhaust
Huge stack of service records
Exterior 8/10 (typical chips from road use, presents very well)
Interior 9/10
Previous ownership by well known MB Enthusiast writer Reed Hitchcock.

A few notes:
- My 500E starts, runs, drives, stops, etc, as it should.  It is a joy to drive!
- While it has high miles, keep in mind it has been loved and maintained by MB experts, and has received an engine refresh and complete transmission rebuild
- The car presents very well, but keep in mind that this 500E is 22 years old, so the original paint has the paint chips/marks one would expect from a car that has been driven and enjoyed
- The factory radio is currently locked and needs the code to unlock it.  I have not taken the time to dig this out of the mountain of paperwork I have for the car.
- The rear antenna is stuck.  I haven't forced it, out of fear of breaking it.
- I have a large box of new and OEM take off parts that will convey with the car.


Mentioned as 1 of "Ten future collectible cars" by Car & Driver, Hemmings, and several other publications.

According to "The Illustrated Buyer's Guide to Mercedes Benz" by Frank Barrett:
The 1992-1993 500E's and 1994 E500's have a four (4) star rating. Frank Barrett gives a nice description of the car, and mentions MB's tradition of building the world's fastest and finest sedans, like the 300 SEL 6.3 and the 450 SEL 6.9. He also mentions AMG built a Hammer model, but sold very few at $150,000 / copy. He concludes the summary of this car with the following:
"The 500E is the prime Mercedes-Benz collector car of the early 1990's".

2017 Aston Marin Lagonda could live on Mercedes M-Class platform

Tue, 29 Oct 2013

A few weeks ago, we brought you news from the launch of the Aston Martin Vanquish Volante that the British brand, which is formally known as Aston Martin Lagonda, was still planning on going ahead with a Lagonda-badged crossover. Now comes word that that vehicle could very well be based on a Mercedes-Benz M-Class.
When the first Lagonda Concept debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, it sat on a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class platform, some four years before Aston Martin and Mercedes-AMG deal was inked. And with that partnership, which will see Aston Martin gain access to AMG electrics and "bespoke, V8 powertrains," the opportunities for platform sharing are many.
Dr. Ulrich Bez, the boss of Aston Martin, told the UK's AutoCar, "I look at what Porsche is doing with the 911 as its core business and then it is able to do models like the Cayenne based on the Volkswagen Touareg. It is good business." We've said many times that we'll tolerate exotic CUVs and SUVs if it means keeping the beloved core models alive, which has been the case with Porsche. We see no reason Aston Martin wouldn't be able to do the same.

Mercedes-AMG GT attacks Circuit of the Americas

Fri, 12 Sep 2014

Mercedes-Benz is having a banner year with its Formula One team. Through 2014, the constructor has 454 championship points; ahead of its nearest competitor (Red Bull-Renault) by a margin of 182 tally marks. We're sure they can almost taste the champagne.
It's fitting then, and a little big cocky in a good way, that Mercedes has released a video of its newest sports car at an F1 venue. In this case, the car is the lovely Mercedes-AMG GT S, and the racetrack is Austin's Circuit of the Americas.
Having seen the official photo set and scratched the surface of the technical specifications earlier this week, we're excited to finally hear the thing run. As you might guess, the deployment of 503 horsepower and 479 pound-feet of torque from the twin-turbo V8 is a motivating experience. Crank up your volume, and hit that play button. (Oh, and Mercedes shot the thing in 4K, too, so those of you with expensive televisions/monitors should take heed to the settings.)

Mercedes-Benz A45 AMG shows up to fight the hottest hatches [w/videos]

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Fun coincidence. On the same day that Audi announces the unveiling of its new S3 Sportback at the Geneva Motor Show, Mercedes-Benz steals the spotlight by confirming that the all-new A45 AMG will also receive its official debut early next month. Starting life as the entry-level A-Class hatchback, the A45 AMG gets the full AMG treatment, which includes numerous performance, handling and styling upgrades.
Under the hood sits an AMG-tuned 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 breathing through a sport exhaust system helping the five-door produce 360 horsepower and 332 pound-feet of torque. This engine is paired to a seven-speed AMG dual-clutch transmission and power is sent to the ground using 4Matic all-wheel drive. Mercedes-Benz says that the A45 AMG will be able to accelerate from 0-60 miles per hour in under 4.5 seconds and it will have a top speed of 155 mph; in the land of hot hatches, it doesn't get much hotter than that. For added performance and handling, AMG has retuned the A-Class' suspension and steering systems and equipped The A45 with a three-stage stability control system that is specific to this car.
Surprisingly, the exterior styling of the A-Class was already sporty enough that the new model doesn't receive too many changes to become the A45 AMG. The biggest alterations include black accents to the chin spoiler, rocker panels and mirror caps, black wheels with red-painted brake calipers and rectangular dual exhaust outlets. Inside, it doesn't take a trained eye to spot the differences. The flat-bottomed sport steering wheel and the numerous red accents throughout the cabin (including the seatbelts!) really help to make this AMG interior stand out; front passengers will also get sport bucket seats that appear to be more than supportive enough for even the most spirited driving conditions.
