That is a smokin deal provided you can afford it and you are into it.

milage? socal cars are famous for their high milage as well :)

I believe in another post he listed the mileage as 160K+

If you slapped on 19inch rims, lowered it, and got the clear corners on a E320 of the same year, would it look like that? (of course it wouldn't have the wide fenders)...

If so, it would make for a pretty kewl daily...

Probably gets 13mpg going downhill. Seen the cost of gas lately? :) Cool car though!

Really? Is the mileage really that bad on this car??? 2.8L engine right?

5 liter V8, hence the 500E. It's the same engine that was in the SL500 with a few tweaks on the intake/exhaust. 15k is maybe a bit high, but it really depends on condition on a car like that. So, yah, the mileage is probably pretty bad... 13-15 in city sounds about right to me.

No.. I was saying if you just got a regular E320 would the mileage be bad.. i'm sure on the E500 doesn't get great mileage...

If it comes with all of the service history and checks out, it's a good deal. I test drove one of these with my parents when they first came out and it's a monster. Too bad it comes only in auto, which is good enough of a reason for me to get an e34 M5 instead.

500E fuel economy;

EPA city: 14
EPA highway: 17

C/D observed: 15
