HERE IS A VERY RARE 1994 LAST YEAR 500 E WAS RENAMED E 500 MERCEDES-BENZ E 500 IN METALLIC SILVER PAINT OUTSIDE WITH LIGHT GRAY LEATHER INTERIOR . THIS IS THE FIRST V-8 POWERED SEDAN CAME OUT OF A PORSCHE FACTORY WHICH MERCEDES-BENZ TURNED TO PORSCHE TO HELP DEVELOPED AND BUILD A SUPER SEDAN . THE RESULT WAS THE E-500. THEORY WAS SIMPLE :- STUFF THE MERCEDES 500SL WHEELS,BRAKES, TRANSMISSION, AND 322-HP-V-8 IN TO THE W124 E-CLASS. BUILD PROCESS WAS LESS SIMPLE :- THE 500E' S FLARED -FENDER BODY SHELL WAS ASSEMBLED AT PORSCHE'S ZUFFENHAUSEN FACILITY AND THEN SHIPPED TO THE MERCEDES PLANT IN SINDELFINGEN FOR PAINTING. AFTER THAT IT WAS SENT BACK TO TO PORSCHE FOR FINAL ASSEMBLY. IT WAS ORIGINALLY A $80.000 SEDAN . THIS V-8 POWERS UP IMMEDIATELY, THE AMAZING BUILD QUALITY AND RIGIDITY OF THIS E-CLASS IS APPARENT. I HAD THE CAR OVER 8 YEARS . I HATE TO SELL IT . THE REASON OF SELLING IS NO MORE STORAGE SPACE . RUNS AND DRIVES GOOD . CLEAN CAR FAX CALIFORNIA CAR . THIS WILL BE A COLLECTIBLE CAR.On Jan-31-18 at 09:35:54 PST, seller added the following information: ONE ARTICLE SAYS ONLY 374 OF THE 1994 E500 WERE IMPORTED TO USA . IT TOOK OVER 18 DAYS TO COMPLETE. ( COMPARE WITH AVERAGE HONDA TAKES 30 HOURS OF LABOR ) PRICE IN 1994 WAS AROUND $80.000 . WITH TODAY'S INFLATION IT COMES TO ABOUT $128.000 IN TODAY'S DOLLARS. IT WAS SAID THAT MERCEDES-BENZ LOST MONEY ON EACH AND EVERY 500E/E500 THAT WAS PRODUCED. FOR MERCEDES-BENZ THIS CAR WAS LESS ABOUT PROFIT ND MORE ABOUT MAKING A STATEMENT TO THE REST OF THE AUTOMOTIVE WORLD. THE FIRST TRUE FOUR-DOOR PORSCHE WAS ACTUALLY A MERCEDES-BENZ. THE MARKET COULD START TO RECOGNIZE THIS LANDMARK AUTOMOBILE IN THE COMING YEARS .
