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. |

Missouri Mercedes dealer offering free Smart with every SLS AMG purchase
Wed, 05 Dec 2012The Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT is an exquisite sports car that probably needs no help flying off dealer lots, even with a starting price of almost $200,000, but Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City has come up with an interesting incentive to sweeten the deal. For buyers who purchase a new SLS AMG from dealer stock before the end of the year, the dealership is throwing in a new Smart Fortwo from its inventory at no charge... with a required coupon no less.
In addition to being a great tactic to get a little free press, the spare car also makes sense as an alternative to the SLS, which measures more than 15-feet long - almost twice the length of a Fortwo - and has a 563-horsepower engine that sucks down gas at the rate of 13 miles per gallon in city driving (and even that's provided you don't give in to the devil on your shoulder). Plus, at the end of the day, this really isn't that big of an incentive. Being given a slow-selling $12,490 car for the purchase of a model starting at $199,500 represents about a six percent incentive, which is along the lines of a $1,900 rebate for a $30,000 car.
To get the free Smart, just visit the Mercedes-Benz of Kansas City Facebook page, redeem the coupon and then go buy yourself a new SLS AMG. Congratulations!
First Mercedes B-Class Electric Drive rolls off line, coming to US soon
Fri, Apr 18 2014Mercedes-Benz is about to give Americans another choice of battery-powered vehicle. Offering more all-electric range than the Nissan Leaf or BMW i3, and with a smaller price tag than the Tesla Model S, the B-Class Electric Drive is officially set to arrive in the US this summer. Indeed, the first examples have begun rolling off the production line in Rastatt, Germany. Featuring drivetrain parts from Tesla Motors, the luxury compact hits all the performance parameters mentioned during its debut at last year's New York Auto Show. For a refresher, that's a single-charge range of 200 kilometers (124 miles) along with a 0-to-100 kilometer-per-hour (62 mile-per-hour) sprint in a respectable 7.9 seconds. These achievements comes courtesy of a 28-kWh lithium battery located in the floor of the passenger compartment and a 132-kW (177-horsepower) motor powering the front wheels. Torque specs for the unit seemed to have increased somewhat and are now given as 340 Newton meters (250.77 pound-feet). It boasts an 11-kW charger and can add as much as 62 miles of range to a deleted battery in an hour and a half. Sadly, it is not Supercharger compatible. The B-Class Electric Drive, which is built on the same production line as the gasoline-powered version, is going to go on sale in Europe around the end of the year and will also come in a right-hand drive version for other markets in 2015. Although pricing has not yet been announced, Mercedes execs expect it to be quite competitive with the BMW i3. Scroll below for the press release (Google translated from German). Model offensive: Mercedes-Benz launches first major series for electric cars - the start of production at Mercedes-Benz in Rastatt: B-Class Electric Drive begins For the first time large-scale production of Mercedes-Benz models with internal combustion engine and electric drive on the same line Stefan Abraham: "With the B-Class Electric Drive we are expanding our production portfolio at the Rastatt plant is a highly innovative drive variant." In the Mercedes-Benz plant in Rastatt today through the first B-Class Electric Drive off the line. This makes Mercedes-Benz models are produced with internal combustion engine and electric drive on the same line at the site for the first time. The B-Class Electric Drive is based on the Mercedes-Benz front-wheel drive architecture of the new Mercedes-Benz compact car generation and uses the modular component kit.
Mercedes surprised Hamilton with this steering wheel message
Tue, Nov 25 2014Lewis Hamilton had much to celebrate at the end of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix this past weekend. Not only did he win the race in commanding form (the 33rd in his career to make him the fifth most successful in Formula One history), but he also scored enough points (double on the season finale this year) to outpace his teammate and chief rival to win the world championship. Having already been crowned champion in 2008, that makes him one of only sixteen drivers to have won multiple world titles. It's a point his team at Mercedes didn't want him to miss, so on the cool-down lap at the end of the race, his pit crew radioed him the message "default 44" – an instruction that triggered this image to appear on the display in the middle of his steering wheel. Apparently Lewis, with plenty else on his mind (like getting his car back to the parc ferme in one piece and with enough fuel), didn't notice what was flashing in front of him. Superimposed, as you can see, over an image of Hamilton as a young lad still in karts is Lewis' name alongside those of the other two-time world champs: Jim Clark, Graham Hill, Emerson Fittipaldi, Alberto Ascari, Fernando Alonso and Mika Hakkinen. (Never mind those who've scored more than two titles.) Intriguingly, Hakkinen is the only other one among them to have won either of his titles under Mercedes power like Lewis did, though Fangio won two of his five titles motivated by Benz engines.
