"THE VELVET HAMMER"So called for its pure luxury and impressive power! This super rare 500E, is one of very few hand-built between Mercedes and Porsche's Rossie-Bau plant, for a brief run between 1992-1994 ONLY. No other model can claim that distinction, which makes this beauty desirable to both Mercedes and Porsche enthusiasts alike. It's powerful engine and elegant looks earned it the moniker of "velvet hammer," from the press. It has bucket seats front and rear, with black leather and wood trim throughout. It has been dealer maintained continually, and runs with impressive power and smooth ride. I am the current, and second, owner of this gorgeous sports sedan, and I have owned it since April, 1999. It comes with four leather, bucket seats (fronts are heated), a 5-disc CD player; and a rare pedigree. There is simply no mistaking its flared fenders, wide aggressive stance, and the hand-built construction that made it a classic collector's car. Other highlights: Brand new all weather tires - A/C - Cruise Control - Power Seats - Heated Seats - Bucket seats front and rear - Alloy Wheels - Rear Defogger - Sunroof - Power Windows - Anti-theft Alarm - 5 disc CD player - AM/FM with search/seek. One of the most desirable and collectible Mercedes cars to date... Lee Scheeler, car enthusiast, once wrote "Sell your soul for this car." I'm willing to take a little less! Last service check shows zero issues. Brand new all weather tires (July, 2011). Some small wear, age-appropriate paint chips here and there; one tiny dent above front passenger tire; small rust spot developing on exterior sunroof. All shown in photos.
