I noticed you might have another E500 in silver in the background. Would you be interested in selling that one? Thanks!December 15th, 2025 at 11:28pm ESTquantumorbit (11) 0Great price!

I absolutely love the color combination, exactly like my last 500E which I sold on here last year. The winner today is going to be getting a very nice 500E!

Through USA 1992 model year, all panels had a VIN sticker applied... all 4 doors, fenders, bumpers, hood. However as of 1993 model year, the VIN decals were eliminated except on the bottom of the rear bumper, and on the trunk lid behind the license plate. I believe this change occurred as of the start of 1993 USA model year. Note the silver / blue car on BaT that @ferrari1971 linked to does not have VIN decals on the front fenders. My 1993 500E has no VIN decals on the fenders or doors. Now if an R-DOT decal is present, that does indicate a replacement fender, but I'm not seeing that on @benzgarden's car either.December 14th, 2025 at 8:36am ESTgsxr (105) 2@DanS, the VIN decoder you are using has an inaccurate description for code 664. Option codes have different descriptions based on dates. The "17-inch wheel/tire" description is only valid as of 01-01-1995, and this car was built prior to that date. I would not use the "mbdecoder" link for any VIN decoding. That is not an official MB site, it's not accurate, the codes are not sorted numerically, and it's missing critical data. Use the link the seller provided below. LastVIN pulls directly from the EPC database. This site shows accurate VIN decoding for all Mercedes through about 2017 model year. The description for code 664 is correct (fuel loading for transport to USA): https://www.lastvin.com/vin/Dw1lNd5wenDK2Rkqy 16" wheels were stock/standard on all years E500E production, with the exception of the E500 Limited models that came with 17" Evo wheels standard (but you could optionally order the stock 16" on the Limited, if desired).December 14th, 2025 at 6:13am ESTferrari1971 (0) 0FYI, I knew the guy Kemal who sold this car back in 2000, I'm from San Antonio. Unfortunately , all I have to say is my suspicions are probably true. I worked with a guy in Dallas who sold 150 mbs a month. This guy Kemal would only buy stuff that had a story. We would wholesale him the stuff we could not run through Mannheim. https://www.ducatimonster.org/threads/kc-international-motorsports-beware.107327/December 14th, 2025 at 5:51am ESTferrari1971 (0) 0@Ali63 , your rationale makes no sense, since someone has a few nice cars they cannot have a bad one? If you are so confident you buy it and see how you do. I'm not bashing the seller , I like the car I just would like to know what I'm buying. He can easily order a paint meter on amazon for $45 and put a lot of ambiguity to rest. When I had my 1993 Silver/ Blue car , https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-mercedes-benz-500e-39/ , it was impossible to sell since it had a prior accident to the passenger quarter panel. The deckled was not even touched. December 14th, 2025 at 3:04am ESTDanS (3) 0@benzgarden I dont see any wheels on your report. I used the original mb decoder. https://www.mbdecoder.com/decode/WDB1240361B860689December 14th, 2025 at 2:46am ESTAli63 (12) 0@ferrari1971 I missed the part where this car is being presented as a Pebble Beach Concours car (i.e. 32 years old) albeit being extremely well sorted. Seller is a member of 500eboard community where the car has been vetted with a relatively minor "punch list" by forum experts. Judging from the stable and sister E500 can bid with confidence. GLWS. December 13th, 2025 at 10:59pm ESTferrari1971 (0) 0@benzgarden , https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1992-mercedes-benz-500e-87/ , look at picture# 200 bumper , #236 door jamb , # 240 , #190 trunk , #109 door jamb , #196 hood on passenger side. #203 front bumper . Please look at these photos and you can see what I'am referring to. I'm not sure why they would not be visible, since underneath it looks original. but you are missing the yellow sticker on theft side core support, plus you have sheet metal screws on the right side of the engine compartment which I have not seen before. Those stickers rarely just fall off. The screws on the data plate are silver and should be color keyed. December 13th, 2025 at 10:16pm ESTferrari1971 (0) 2@DanS , they never made a 17in wheel for a USA 500e. These are the correct wheels. @benzgarden, in picture 108 it looks like the shadow in the jam that the paint was feathered there. I would be very interested, but I cannot seem to see any vin stickers inside the engine compartment fenders or hood. Also they are not visible on the bumpers either. What would concern me if they are r-dot decals that h
