500E
"1991 MERECEDES BENZ 500E (W124) One of the first of this thoroughbred sport saloon. Only two Swiss owners from new. We bought this car from an Audi main dealer in Switzerland who had taken it in part exchange from the second owner. We drove it back and frankly could not believe just how well this totally original (paintwork & interior) car drives, with silent and faultless 320bhp V8 power transmitted through almost undetectable automatic gearbox changes. Upon closer, workshop examination once back at our base, we were flabbergasted to discover that apparently (unmistakeably) the whole of the mechanicals including the engine and all its ancillaries, the gearbox and prop-shaft appear to be brand new replacements. We have contacted the Swiss Audi dealer however as yet we have not been able to verify this. It is clear however that all the items concerned are new. We expect that this fact, together with the total and complete –to-date (09/ 07) Mercedes service history is why this 180k mile, immaculate and original example simply beggars belief both in terms of its quality and performance. Without question the most remarkable, unrestored, original Mercedes with this mileage that we have ever seen. Electric heated seats, full leather, ESR, OTG, FCA, 8 hole alloy wheels with new Michelin Alpine Pilots, not to be missed, truly a useable classic-for-life."
Now Im not that up on 500E prices, but this seems worth a punt? any opinions?
