Thanks to reader Peter for spotting this super clean E500 in the brilliant silver paint scheme. Everything about this car looks practically new and well maintained. Unlike a lot of 500Es this one looks totally unmolested down to the original rims. The owner still has the original window sticker, all the manuals, service history, etc.. The buy-it-now price of $26,900 for a 500E in this shape will seem very reasonable in a few years. Right now I’d say it is bit high, with a few less miles it wouldn’t be a surprise to sell at that price though. If you could negotiate it down a bit and this car truly is as clean in person this would be a nice find.

Nice car but I think the price is more than just a bit too high right now.
Probably worth, but a tough sell at that price. W210 E55 AMGs with “low” miles can be pick up for half that price. I’ve own a 500E so I know that the 2 aren’t equivalent but still, in terms of performance and features the joy of the 500E relative to a E55 is a bit intangible. That said low mile 500E’s are increasingly rare especially with original 2 tone paint in silver.
They don’t make em like that anymore. I think that was the year the engineers relinquished their top spot to the marketing department.
Bid up to a decent $22.5 but unsold. I was thinking someone looking for this model would step up and pay a premium price for an especially nice example, but it’s a funny market right now.
Relisted here:

for 24,900. I hate it when sellers do this on ebay. Why not just put it up for auction with a reasonable reserve.
Finally sold for 22,200. Pretty good value actually
$22,200 seems just right in the market now. The seller likely got their markup and the buyer now has a car that should stay fairly steady price-wise or depreciate relatively little if used extensively.
Nice car, been watching it on ebay. I am helping a co-worker sell his 500E that is in great shape and (to me) a much better looking car 🙂
Check it out!
