The E-Class Mercedes was always a popular choice and one of their best selling lines worldwide, and no wonder, they are big, roomy saloons that are solid, safe, luxurious, comfortable and fast.
Always featuring the latest in safety technology and engineering they now represent great value for money and are a great choice if you’re looking for a useable and stylish modern day classic.
HISTORY
This E500 Sport was delivered to its one and only Japanese owner in 2006 and comes with a full Japanese Mercedes service history, and has covered only 22,322 miles.
It comes fully loaded with extras and features the AMG Body-kit, exhaust and alloy wheels. It also benefits from the later and better 7-speed automatic transmission and the AMG Adaptive Suspension offering comfort, sport 1 and sport 2 settings to suit your mood and driving style.
Imported and registered in the UK only late last year this superb example of the E500 is now being offered for auction having been fully serviced prior to import less than 1,000 miles ago.
PAPERWORK
There is the V5c showing only one UK owner and the current MOT expires in September 2022.
There’s a full set of owner’s manuals and a stamped up service book all in Japanese, together with the import papers and a certificate from Mercedes confirming the car’s provenance and its build to Euro 4 standards.
INTERIOR
The black luxurious leather and wood interior presents very well indeed and is in superb condition throughout with hardly a mark or sign of use to be found.
The spacious interior also features a sunroof, electric adjustable and heated seats, wood and leather steering wheel, Sat Nav, CD multi-changer, a Harmon Kardon sound system and an electric rear blind.
All the carpets, headlining and door cards are very nice indeed and the perforated Nappa leather seats appear virtually unused.
EXTERIOR
Finished in gleaming Alabaster White paintwork the car looks great and other than a chip on the rear bumper, passenger door handle and the offside wing there is very little find or to worry about.
The AMG Alloys have a few minor scuffs so aren’t perfect but they all have very good tyres.
MECHANICS
Fully serviced less than 1,000 miles ago prior to import the car is reported to run and drive like new with no faults or issues to advise.
Under the bonnet shows a well cared for and maintained car and one look underneath shows a very clean and solid car.
APPEAL
There’s a lot of car here in this e500 sport with a fabulous 5.0 litre V8 providing ample performance when and if required with all the luxurious trappings and comfort that come with every high-end Mercedes.
AMG adaptive suspension and the 7-speed automatic gearbox also make this car that little bit special and with such low mileage, a full service history and looking the way it does it would make a very useable modern day classic.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
