Longroof seekers missed out on this one. Sure wish I'd have seen it sooner. Don't know if it would have hit reserve, but I'd have gone 12.5 and maybe a bit more.
I went 9250.00 but my card expired and by the time I got new one in auction was over

Hello! Thanks for asking! The car had its belt snap t startup once (not while driving) and I had it towed to Mercedes for replacement. No other issues found, no engine problems noticed / have not had any belt issues since. I think the belt that was used originally was not up to par, so Mercedes gave it theirs. The transmission is great! I had a driving /kick-down video but they did not post it. Here you go: https://youtu.be/XCa9u_zKHOI
Hi, Very nice car! Can you tell me why it was towed and what repairs were done to make it drivable?. Are there any transmission issues and does air conditioner blow cold and work as intended?
@KingKitty Thanks very much! This car has been well loved for sure. Having put about 30,000 or so miles on it myself, it has definitely served its duty well as a proper daily driver estate. The bones are really good on this one.
A bum vanity mirror and skipping CD changer? Non-issues. I loves my wagons, and this appears to be a really nice example with little more than normal wear and tear for the miles. Replace the sticky steering wheel telematics buttons and you’re good to go. Good luck with the auction! KK
Thank you to all who have bid and are considering this car! As we approach the final day/two, I'll be available via message and comment as needed. I will be traveling, so I won't have access to the car for any specific questions / photos, but can answer anything remotely within a short period of time. Best of luck to all...whoever wins will really enjoy this car.

To all who may be looking at this car, please do ensure you look at all of the photos. I've made sure to document all repair work and have photos of all of my records in the gallery. The internal Mercedes log for the car prior to my ownership will also be given to the new owner...its just a very lengthy document so that was not uploaded. The car has a new air suspension on both axles and I did have Mercedes get me a new instrument cluster as the coolant temp / gas gauges were burning out. The hatch struts are brand new as of June 2023.

Hello! I'm the Seller! Thanks to all for looking at and considering bidding on my E500 Wagon. This car was my first exposure to an "older" Mercedes and I've absolutely loved owning it. I purchased it a few years ago and have done my best to ensure its received any and all needed servicing. Where I could afford to take it to a dealer/equal, I've done so. It's a great car and someone will be getting a very road-worthy example here. Glad to help with any questions if you have any!
