Hello and 500E advice appreciated...

[d w124]

remember? i'll never let you forget it

Cheeky,just like them sisters
Anyway Winton:Are you going to leave it stock,or you`d like some mods?

agreed but i don't think 500E's make anywhere near sticker prices and the car has been up for sale for 4 months

Considering some of the cars you see at £7 to £8K with 300,000kms on them I think the listed car isn't excessively priced but at that price it needs to be absolutely bang on, no niggles plus a decent warranty.

The 500 makes sense if it's a long-termer and you want a relaxed drive. The E39 is much more driver-focussed and considerably quicker. Most depreciation has been done by now but VANOS issues make buyers wary. Drive both and decide.

Really appreciate the comments guys, thanks. I think that 10k is a good price provided all of the niggles are sorted due to the fantastic nature of the bodywork etc.

As for mods, I think that some Brembo stoppers and K&N air filters to begin with then possibly a H&S custom exhaust to liberate a bit more of that sublime V8

You sure you want to mod such an original car?

 

[Winton]

I picked some personal preferences that are easily reversible. What I don't want to do is go to town on it and wreck the originality of the car.

Well fellas, thanks for all of the advice. Pick the car up Friday all being well and will post up on here once I have taken her out for a good long drive and a bit of a clean.

Well done mate,enjoy .As for mods all a 500e needs is a set of nice alloys a little drop and an exhaust
If you decide to lower the car i`ve got some H&Rs for 500e and as for the exhaust,i know someone that has a Remus for 500e.

 

[500E]

Well done.

A 500E is an amazing purchase (i'm not biased of course!).

I can't wait to get into the seat of one again - hopefully this summer - A nice pre-facelift flat-black 500E will do me nicely.

There is one that's been sitting in my uncles garage for the last 5 years which is litrally crying to be saved before she rots away and gets binned!

Bill.
