I had the transmission serviced when recently purchased, and solved a sweating pan gasket in the process.
The sunroof motor needed adjusting - a minor 20 minute job and a few burned light bulbs, not bad for a totally original 16 year old vehicle.
This car is quite capable of 200+++ k/hr, few will pass unless allowed to.
Two tons and its low stance keep this beauty glued to the road at any speed.
A nice balance of luxury without overdoing and complicating creature comforts, very tight and quiet ride.
Without a doubt the best brakes we have ever had on any vehicle in my 46 years of driving.
Mercedes and Porsche made a statement when they jointly built these models, and the build quality is unsurpassed.
The 500E is a wonderful car; I believe it is one of the very best Mercedes ever made. Mercedes has already declared it a Classic. Take good care of that jewel.
Congrats.
Do not buy one 500e, buy two as once your wife drives it, she won't give it back.
