    How to price a low mileage S211 E500 Estate ?

    The mileage on my car has crept over the 60k level but I keep putting off selling it because I don't know how to price the car E Class estates seem to be curious things, with plenty of demand for them even if they're old with spaceship mileages. And to complicate things even further this is a...

    Cheap e500 estate and other nice things

    Used Cars for sale in Oxford, Oxfordshire | Vehicle Sourcing Ltd e500 has poor spec but for £2k I can't really see you could go too far wrong. On winter tyres and high miles but if it has a resaonable SH it could make a good hack for a couple of years. 850 looks nice too.

    E500 tapping noise - solved by Wayne Gates!

    MY E500 had a problem that ruined it for me: a low pitched tapping noise only heard on acceleration. I’d had a couple of very experienced people look at it, including the fantastic Terry from Wayne Gates. Terry eliminated lifter noise, transmission or cat noise and eventually suspected the worst...

    E500 or R500

    Hi All After a while away from MB (first family wagon was a C55 Estate), it's time to come back to the fold. If anyone knows of an R500 (later engine) or E500 7 seater available, ideally with a tow bar (but I guess that could be added later), I'd love to hear about it. Thanks

    E500 - hydraulic lifters tap tap tap

    Hi all - I've just bought myself a 2002 E500. First of the W211s. 100,000 miles on the nose. Lots of history and appears to have been well cared for. On acceleration it sounds faintly clattery - think of a low pitched tappet type noise. It doesn't go away when warmed up but is not audible on...

    e500 coupe rear end swap.

    Guys I am looking to see if I can swap my pre facelift exhaust/fake diffuser mount with the face lifted version which looks way better. At a glance it looks like a straight swap. Has anyone done this switch over? Or does the whole back bumper need to go too? If that's the case I will see...

    E500 Coupe Can worn subframe Bushes cause increased road noise?

    My e500 Coupe in the last day has developed increased road noise. When the car was in for a service (in march) my indie (who I trust without question) advised that the nearside rear upper front arm bush & offside rear sub frame bush debonding and allowing some movement. It wasnt a massive issue...

    S211 E500 how many estates amongst those 500 E500's ?

    Someone has told me that there are only about 20 Estate versions of the E500 in the UK. (S211 E500) Can anyone confirm this? I see that there are just under 500 E500's on www.howmanyleft.co.uk, but clearly by far the majority of these are saloons. I'm being nagged to sell my 2004 E500...

    E500 vs CL500, both M273

    Just pondering a swap of my E500 Coupe (207) for a CL500 (216). Budget dictates the W216 would be an M273 5.5 engined car. Has anyone driven both models and would care to give a comparison? I really like the E500, it's in a relatively light chassis and thus quick. Pretty good on fuel for what...

    2004 (54) W211 E500 cutting out problem

    Hi guys, I have a 54 reg W211 E500 estate which developed a strange issue a while back. On the whole the car drives fine but if accelerating harder, especially round a corner the car will cut out/lose power momentarily. It will almost always do it when giving it some round a bend and sometimes...

    Hi guys, over the last few days I've had a problem with the airmatic compressor on my w211 e500 estate. The pump will sometimes stay on continuously for around half an hour/40 minutes and occasionally will make a loud banging noise. It does this regardless if the engine/ignition is on or not...
