We are pleased to present this 1994 Mercedes-Benz E500 finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic over a grey leather interior. Commonly regarded as a "wolf in sheep's clothing", the 500E was the result of Mercedes' commissioning of Porsche to re-engineer the W124 platform for high-performance using a large 5.0L V8 borrowed from the 500SL roadster along with the corresponding tuning of the drivetrain and suspension. For the 1994 model year, the W124 received a front-end styling update along with a new 'E 500' designation and larger brakes brakes borrowed from the SL600 model. One of 1,735 examples imported to the U.S. for the model year, this E500 was originally sold from Chambers Motor Cars of Boston, Massachusetts, and has had three caretakers from new. A binder of service records accompanies the car and recent maintenance is said to include the installation of newer springs, shocks, and a factory exhaust system. One of the most sought-after Mercedes-Benz of all time, this E500 is now being offered for auction by its seller out of Pennsylvania showing just under 38k miles on the odometer.
Hand-assembled using Mercedes parts at Porsche’s Rössle-Bau plant in Zuffenhausen, this W124 is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic with dark grey lower body cladding. The 500E/E500 is distinguishable from the standard W124 by its aggressive stance, flared fenders, side skirts, and front valance. The 1994 model year saw updates to the styling of the W124 including new headlights and a redesigned grille as well as the "E500" designation on the trunklid. The CARFAX reports shows damage to have occurred on the front end in 1996 and the seller reports the front bumper to have been refinsihed as a result. Detailed images are provided in the gallery along with the full CARFAX report. Equipment includes fog lights, and headlight wipers, and 16″ eight-hole wheels dressed in Bridgestone Potenza tires.
Inside, the cabin is trimmed in grey leather with burl wood inlays on the dashboard, door panels, and center console. Factory features include a sunroof, power-operated and front seats, cruise control, automatic climate control, and a power rear sunshade. The seller notes that the cabin remains nicely preserved and confirms that all gauges, lights, and accessories remain functional apart from the rear sunshade and rear headrests which intermittently fail to retract.
The SL500-sourced M119 5.0 L V8 DOHC engine produced up to 315 HP and 347 lb-ft of torque when new. The rear wheels are driven by way of a 4-speed automatic transmission. Porsche specially tuned the self-levelling suspension for a lower and more responsive ride while the 1994 model received the larger front and rear brakes of the SL600 roadster. The CARFAX report highlights services dating back to 2013 and the seller notes that a binder of records will accompany the sale. Newer shocks and springs are said to have been recently installed along with a factor exhaust system.
This sale will be accompanied by the original owner's manuals, maintenance booklet, cellular phone, spare tire, jack, toolkit, carpet floormats, and a clean title. Engineered and hand-assembled by Porsche, this 1994 E500 offers an excellent investment and collecting opportunity.

This car is everything a big powerful sedan should be. Collaboration between Mercedes and Porsche was executed masterfully on this car. Sadly we wont ever see such a collaboration again. Then again that makes this car even more special!
