the car has hallmarks of a japanese import, square cut rear number plates and window deflectors which the japs love.

Lovely car, black on black, that's what I call a "spec"

£9.6k, a bit optimistic, no? I remember that silver 500E Brabus a while ago went for around £6k?

Yup appears to be a Japanese car - square number plates, km/h speedo and side repeaters.

The car's in Denmark, which may explain it's slightly higher price. I believe taxation on cars is more over there

Finally, it has no sunroof. I guess that would be rare here in Europe.
But it appears to be a good example, with low km's and a decent spec.

It would certainly be fun driving it back from Denmark

North American versions have the same bootlid designed for square number plates only - you have to actually change the bootlid to accomodate a UK style plate !

I was in Denmark this time last year. Flicking through a magazine (while unable to go anywhere due snow; sound familiar?) I was staggered by the asking prices for used cars. ISTR ordinary W201s were being advertised at €6000

Very recent import from Japan, too: the service documents show it was serviced in Japan just 2000km ago. Curious...

But the entire ad is in English as if deliberately aimed at Brit buyers.

Aimed at the whole of Europe, I'd say – and English is clearly the best language for that. It is on German eBay and advertised in Danish as well...

Looks lovely, but I'm not paying that price for it...

Only post-facelift, I think. In the pictures of this one it looks like the boot lid has got an insert for the Japanese/North American plate size.


I think it's got left-hand headlights (as you'd expect with it coming from Japan), so that's one less thing to have to change...


Also a correction from earlier:

I was in Denmark … W201s were being advertised at €6000

Unlikely, of course, that cars in Denmark would be advertised in Euros. I suspect I meant at the equivalent of £6000, which would have been DKK 48000...

Japanese are RHD this is LHD

Japanese are RHD this is LHD

All W124 500e or e500's are LHD.

 

[LastMinute]

Your 124-fu is weak, Sir...

1. 500E was never available in RHD, because the V8 won't fit around the steering box
2. The Japanese consider it a status symbol to own prestige European cars in LHD, even when available in RHD
