As noted earlier, yes there were 15 total Garnet/Almandine Red. There were a total of 20 White E500E's and 3 of those had Cream or Parchment (interior code xx5) leather.January 23rd, 2024 at 4:12pm ESTgsxr (105) 0I thought the question about paint thickess was in jest. It's not like the original paint can be salvaged. When the rust is remedied, it will need a full repaint anyway.

At this point, I will not be able to get these readings with the auction ending so soon. To the owners knowledge there has not been any painting done on the car. Thanks.

There was one white with cream interior and few other color combinations. Could anyone please share their knowledge.January 23rd, 2024 at 1:24pm EST$19,632 bid placed by @SchoenauJanuary 23rd, 2024 at 10:37am EST$19,382 bid placed by @mdreiJanuary 22nd, 2024 at 4:08pm ESTHammerEd (12) 2The fact that it is Almandine over Gray (1 of 2 int he combo) and one of 15 in Almandine, is a big selling point imo. Love this car and I think i can navigate the other issues and doing a light restoration on it.... there is enough equity in the car to do so because of the color. It might not be 500eboard kosher, but it seems like no 500e is...January 22nd, 2024 at 4:02pm EST$19,124 bid placed by @HammerEdJanuary 22nd, 2024 at 9:14am ESTJonnycomelately (6) 1@AMGTRND - regarding the production figures, much of this info is available on the 500E board. Fact and figure files posted, plus power users are happy to answer questions. For this car specifically, I'm passively familiar with it as it was being serviced at my Indie mechanic (I have 4 MB's between '97-'06) in both 2020 and 2022. I still have photos of it on my phone. I was curious enough to research these details further. Note of the 15 in Garnett Red, 2 were gray interior, 3 were black and 10 were beige.

Different strokes I suppose. January 18th, 2024 at 1:56pm ESTStarkermann (2) 0Unfortunately, these cars are really starting to look old and dated. The 500E was a hot rod of sorts in its day, but today is not so much... GLWTA!January 17th, 2024 at 4:40pm EST$15,500 bid placed by @V8cemJanuary 17th, 2024 at 10:34am ESTJonnycomelately (6) 1Antiquarian - correct, only 15 US cars with #512 Garnett Red Metallic (aka Almandine Red). At least two are known to be wrecked. Even more rare is the color combo........ #512 Garnett Red with #278 Gray Leather interior. One of two (one '92 and one '93), or one of one for MY-1992.January 17th, 2024 at 9:57am ESTMBCICW (0) Seller 0Another reason to own this beauty!!January 17th, 2024 at 9:45am ESTAntiquarian (0) 1I believe only 15 of these were offered in the US in this color. Very rare example!

When asked about the door, the owner said it was never thought to be a problem. I noticed that the drivers side front door closes hard and something is not right, so I want to make sure it was noted. As far as the rusty fenders, from looking at the photos it looks that the rear passenger fender has a little rust at the top or 12 o'clock position.January 15th, 2024 at 9:32pm ESTMBCICW (0) Seller 0Hi Everyone. Thanks so much for your interest in the 500E. Do to the passing of the owner the widow has decided to sell the car and see it go to someone
