This 1992 Mercedes-Benz 500E was originally sold new in Atlanta, Georgia where it remained until 2023 when it relocated to Virginia with the current seller. The car was reportedly purchased new by a former Atlanta Braves player, Ron Gant, in 1992 and later was owned fellow teammate Mark Lemke, followed by a Mercedes-Benz Master Tech at RBM Atlanta. Finished in Black Pearl Metallic (199) over Beige Leather (275), this 500E is powered by a 5.0L M119 V8 and paired with a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Service in early 2023 included replacement of both fuel pumps, front struts, and all fluids flushed including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid. Most recently, the car received a new temperature sending unit, fuel pump check valve, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, and self-leveling torsion bar. The interior was fully insulated in Dynamat for additional sound deadening and insulation. Equipment includes a power-operated sunroof, lower front fog lights, OEM 17″ Limited Evo wheels, Automatic Slip Control, power-adjustable and heated front seats, a rear roller blind, automatic climate control, cruise control, and a Continental head unit with Bluetooth capability. This 500E shows 99k original miles and is being offered by the seller with a Vehicle Master Inquiry (VMI) report, 3 keys including 1 valet key, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Montana title.

The car is finished in Black Pearl Metallic (199) with gray lower body cladding. Equipment includes lower front fog lights, headlight wipers, 500E-specific headlights, and a power sunroof. The 500E comes factory fitted with flared front and rear fenders along with widened bumpers and side cladding to match compared to a standard W124. All 500E's were assembled on a Porsche assembly line due to their widened track and then sent back to Mercedes-Benz for completion. The seller notes a minor paint imperfection on the hood with detailed photos provided in the gallery. The car features facelift taillights from a 1994 E500.

OEM 17″ Limited Evo wheels are in excellent condition and are mounted with Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires measuring 245/45 on all four corners. The wheels were sourced new from Mercedes-Benz Classic Center in 2023 and show OEM part number B6 647 00 61. The 500E featured Porsche-tuned suspension with a lower ride height than contemporary standard W124 models and also required a wider track for better handling. 

The cabin features front and rear sport seats upholstered in Beige Leather (275) which is also continued onto each door card. Burl wood trim accents the dashboard, center stack in the front and rear, and door panels. All wood veneer remains in excellent condition with no fading. The wood between the rear seats shows hairline cracks. Equipment includes power-adjustable and heated front seats, dual front airbags, an electric rear roller blind, automatic climate control, and a Continental head unit with Bluetooth capability. The seller reports normal wear on the driver seat and there are no tears or rips in any of the leather. The rear headrests are in their upright position and do not fold down. Under previous ownership, the interior was fully lined with Dynamat for added sound deadening and insulation. Pictures show the trunk lined with Dynamat and protective plastic covering the front floor mats. The protective plastic film is still on the driver and passenger side door sills as well. 

The four-spoke leather steering wheel frames VDO instrumentation that includes a 160mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock, and gauges for coolant temperature, fuel level, and oil pressure. The six-digit odometer shows 99k original miles, approximately 3k of which have been added by the current seller over the last year.

The 5.0-liter M119 V8 was factory rated at 322 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. The Carfax report shows 20 service history records at the same dealer between 2010 and 2023. The Delphi tag on the wiring harness shows a 1998 date verifying it was updated early on. Service in early 2023 included replacement of both fuel pumps, front struts, and all fluids flushed including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid. Service this year includes a new temperature sending unit, fuel pump check valve, fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, and self-leveling torsion bar. 

The Carfax report shows no accidents or other damage, and lists linear mileage updates since new. This 500E is now offered with a Vehicle Master Inquiry (VMI) report, 3 keys including 1 valet key, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Montana title.
