Mercedes-Benz E-Class
W124 - W124
Price on request
The legendary W124 500E was hand-built in partnership with Porsche in Zuffenhausen. Its 5.0-litre V8 produced 326hp, making it the fastest saloon in the world at launch. Widened bodywork, lowered suspension, and extensive chassis modifications created a genuine sports saloon. Now highly collectible, the 500E represents the pinnacle of 1990s German engineering collaboration.
Expensive to maintain due to complexity and parts availability. Engine wiring harness degradation is common and expensive to replace. Self-levelling rear suspension requires specialist attention. Rust can appear in wheel arches and under rear window seals. Transmission issues possible if fluid changes neglected. Only purchase with comprehensive history.
Limited slip differential (rare), heated seats, climate control, upgraded audio, sunroof delete (very rare), European specification (for US buyers), Sportline package, documented Porsche assembly, complete service history from Mercedes specialist.
