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-AMG GT3 photos hit the web
Thu, Feb 26 2015Yesterday, the first shot of the next-generation Audi R8 hit the web hours before its official debut. Today, it appears the same thing is happening with photos of the Mercedes-AMG GT3, thanks to French website Le Point. Surprisingly for a vehicle designed as a single-minded track machine, Mercedes is injecting some serious style into the GT3. The rounded, vertical slats in the grille evoke the look of the original 300SL racer. In profile, the styling of the roadgoing AMG GT is retained but with the addition of a circuit-hugging body kit and huge wing at the rear to keep in planted. The interior is similarly purposeful. Along with these leaked photos, Le Point claims that the GT3 ditches the standard GT's twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 in favor of a naturally aspirated 6.3-liter V8 sourced from the SLS AMG GT3. The aluminum platform underneath is also taken from the regular GT, but practically every exterior panel is reportedly replaced with carbon fiber to cut weight. The racer also keeps the double-wishbone suspension at all four wheels. While these specs are still unconfirmed, Mercedes definitely has a beautiful track machine on the way with the GT3. We look forward to seeing it in person in Geneva.
Mercedes-Benz C-Class 'bleeding seat' problem resurfaces [UPDATE]
Wed, Feb 11 2015UPDATE: We received the following statement from Mercedes-Benz: "In rare instances, we incorrectly ordered some of the replacement parts for the seating surfaces. The approved replacement parts will not demonstrate the previous symptoms." It appears Mercedes-Benz has another problem with "bleeding seats" in 2015 C-Class sedans. As we reported in January, an oily residue has been appearing on some versions of the C-Class with man-made MB Tex upholstery, making it look as though the seats were grimy or "bleeding." Mercedes issued a technical service bulletin to its dealers to remedy the problem, but now we're hearing the fix isn't complete. Small parts of the seats – the rear bolsters and a piece below the center armrest – weren't replaced during service and then developed the oily reside again, a source tells us. This occurred within a few days of their service appointment. The dealer followed Mercedes' instructions, our source said, and their C-Class appears to have been one of the first cars fixed. "I'm absolutely flabbergasted at this point ... The new C-Class is such a good car. This is just a shame," they told Autoblog. The bleeding seat issue appears to affect US-built C-Class models with the MB Tex vinyl and possibly other interiors. The bleeding often occurs when a car has been sitting in the cold and then heats up quickly. The number of cars affected is unclear, though the C-Class owners have been vocal in the MBWorld.org forum. At the time of our original report, Daimler AG, parent of Mercedes-Benz USA, said it was aware of the issue and that no injuries had been reported. The residue usually washes off with soap and water. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had no recalls, complaints or investigations recorded about the issue as of Wednesday. The fix at the dealer involves changing out the headrest and seat covers, except for a part of the passenger seat that needs to be calibrated by the factory, according to the bulletin. The C-Class is a critical car for Mercedes as it battles BMW, Lexus and others for supremacy in the ultra-competitive luxury segment. The C-Class, which launched last fall, is moving upmarket as Mercedes reshuffles its lineup with the addition of the CLA sedan. The C-Class was the company's best-selling model in January with volume of 6,236 units.
