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 to market Tesla-powered 2014 B-Class EV in U.S.
Thu, 05 Jul 2012Looks like another Tesla Motors investor will be looking to cash in on their connection. Autoweek reports Mercedes-Benz will offer their B-Class in the U.S. with Tesla propulsion.
The magazine says their source at the German automaker confirms plans for a B-Class electric-only vehicle. While Tesla already provides battery packs for the battery-powered Smart ForTwo, the B-Class EV will reportedly have Tesla batteries, motor and other components. U.S. residents should be able to procure one sometime in 2014.
The same Mercedes source says plans for a hybrid B-Class have been postponed for now. Adding a range-extending, gasoline-powered engine to an electric vehicle would put the car into a different class for which rebates and incentives aren't as favorable in the States.
Aston or Bust? Maybach's fate to be decided next month
Mon, 13 Jun 20112011 Maybach 62 - Click above for high-res image gallery
What will become of Maybach? That question has been rattling around the halls of Daimler headquarters in Stuttgart for some time now. But all questions will be answered, and answered soon: according to reports, the German automaker is currently evaluating prototypes and propositions for its top-end marque, and will make its decision next month.
So, what are the options? On the one hand, Daimler could kill the Maybach brand altogether. It was a notion ill conceived and even more poorly executed, taking an old platform and building a new flagship atop it. In that way, it was sort of like the Chrysler Crossfire, only far more costly to both the buyer and manufacturer. On the other hand, Daimler could opt for the long-time-coming proposition of contracting the production (and possibly much of the development) of a new generation of Maybachs to Aston Martin.
Mercedes-Benz introduces new heavy security M-Class Guard model
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Mercedes-Benz has unveiled a new addition to the company's line of personal security vehicles. The M-Class Guard features bullet-proof side windows made with special laminated glazing and a polycarbonate inner layer to protect occupants from shards of glass. Mercedes says the M-Class Guard meets protection level VR4 according to the Bullet Resistant Vehicles 2009 standards, based on testing from the independent Ulm-based Ballistics Bureau, which means it can withstand .357 Magnum and .44 fire from multiple angles. It can also stand up to the DM51 hand grenade when equipped with optional floor armoring. Why skimp?
Buyers looking for protection from the world's literal slings and arrows can opt for the ML350 BlueTEC with its 258 horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine. With 457 pound-feet of torque, the oil-burner should have no trouble hustling the privileged class about. Of course, the ML500 offers a bit more punch courtesy of a 4.6-liter twin-turbo V8 with 408 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque. Prices start at 105,050 euros for the diesel and 118,650 euros for the V8. You can check out the full press release below for more information.
