These 3 pics were present when I visited the ad:

[Trae]

Spoke with the seller this morning. He said he bought it wholesale as a personal vehicle yesterday, however, for the right price he would sell. He had not yet come up with a price and thought around $20,000 would be a fair starting point. Claimed it to be a "clean" car.
I then called the whole seller that sold him the car. He said that this guy will make a good profit...

[Trae]

Dave, did he give you a price?

[gsxr]

Looks like some photos have been added - thanks, h228!

Trae, I did not contact the seller... all I know is there's no price listed in the AutoTrader ad. $20k seems on the high side unless it's immaculate. Wonder what the wholesaler let it go for.

[Trae]

He would not say except that it was "very low" what ever that means.

This car is back on AutoTrader. No price given.

Spoke to Dave on Saturday, he wants $26,900 and has ZERO maintenance records for the car. When I asked about them, he stated that "privacy laws" prevented him from getting them from the dealer he purchased the car from. That was a new one for me.

[gsxr]

[redred]

ummm.... never heard of that one before

[gsxr]

I know the MB dealers no longer will give you the VMI report due to privacy concerns, and some dealers or repair shops don't like to give out previous records if the owner's contact information is on the paperwork. But even that is kind of a weak excuse, permission could be granted by the PO's, or the info could be removed from the docs before copying, etc, etc. Price seems very high with zero documentation, IMO.

+4 on this . As we say in England, "Bollocks!"

Spoke to Dave on Saturday, he wants $26,900

I see...giving Hatch & Sons a bit of competition. Nice!

[redred]

At least Hatch & Sons puts up more than 3 crappy pictures. For $26,900 I would expect to see at least 40-50 hi-res, in focus pics.

I encountered the same problem when trying to obtain additional records for my previous 93 from the dealership. The only way they would release them was with the previous owners authority. They also stated that some of the records were destroyed when they transfered from paper to electronic if there were no inquiries within a certain time frame..

X-RARE 1993 MERCEDES-BENZ 500E HI-PERFORMANCE MADE BY PORSCHE & M-BENZ 1 OF 1576


1993 MERCEDES-BENZ 500 E - EXTRA RARE HIGH- PERFORMANCE! THIS IS A VERY WELL PRESERVED EXAMPLE WITH SMOOTH AS GLASS PAINT AND BODY PANELS, ENGINE AND ALL MECHANICAL FUNCTIONS IN FINE WORKING CONDITION, INTERIOR OF CAR AND TRUNK ARE IN TIP-TOP CONDITION, UNDER THE HOOD...WELL UNDER THE HOOD SLEEPS A THOROUGHBRED PEDIGREE THAT IS JUST WAITING FOR SOME EXERCISE AND GOOD WHOLESOME FUN.

EXTRA-RARE 1993 ORIGINAL MERCEDES-BENZ 500 E. FROM 1990 TO 1994 (MODEL YEARS 1991-1994), MERCEDES-BENZ SOLD A HIGH-PERFORMANCE VERSION OF THE W124, THE MERCEDES-BENZ 500 E (W124.036). THE 500 E WAS CREATED IN CLOSE COOPERATION WITH PORSCHE; EACH 500 E WAS HAND-BUILT BY PORSCHE AND MERCEDES-BENZ, BEING TRANSPORTED BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE MERCEDES PLANT AND PORSCHE'S ROSSLE-BAU PLANT IN ZUFFENHAUSEN, GERMANY DURING ASSEMBLY -- TAKING A FULL 18 DAYS TO COMPLETE EACH MODEL. DESIGN BEGAN IN 1989 AND INTO 1991. CALLED '500 E' THROUGH MODEL YEAR 1993, FOR MODEL YEAR 1994 IT WAS FACE-LIFTED ALONG WITH THE REST OF THE RANGE AND RENAMED TO 'E 500'.

CALLED THE "Wolf in Sheep's Clothing" BY THE PRESS, PERFORMANCE TESTS OF THE DAY YIELDED IMPRESSIVE RESULTS: 0-100kn/h (0-62mph) TIMES OF 5.5 TO 6.0 SECONDS AND ACCELERATION THROUGH THE QUARTER-MILE (0.4 km) IN 14.1 SECONDS AT 163 km/h (~101 mph). THE TOP SPEED WAS REDLINE LIMITED AT 6,000 rpm TO 260 km/h (~160 mph). IT WAS RATED AT 16.8 l/100 km (14 mpg)IN THE CITY AND 13.9 L/100 km (17 mph) ON THE HIGHWAY.

WITH ITS AGGRESSIVE STANCE: 1.5 INCHES WIDER TRACK, 0.9 INCH LOWER PROFILE, FLARED FENDERS, SIDE SKIRTS, FRONT AIR-DAM AND WIDE TIRES, THE 500 E IS EASILY DISTINGUISHED FROM ITS LESSER BRETHREN. BECAUSE OF ITS LOOK, LIMITED NUMBERS, HAND-BUILT CONSTRUCTION AND UNIQUE PEDIGREE, THE 500 E IS ALREADY A "CLASSIC", EVEN WITHIN MERCEDES-BENZ.

USA 1993 AND 1994 PRODUCTION ONLY 1596

Up to $27,100 and reserve not met. For that kind of money they should replace the dryer exhaust hoses for real ones.

[nocfn]

I mean can you get anymore red neck than hacking off 1/3 of the wife's dryer vent and sticking it on your car.... what other shortcuts are taken
