Yeah, those cars were pretty cool when they were new, but they really aren't that special and ultimately have no real "collector" value.

I think part of the problem with them is in 92 it was an ultra high performance sedan. But in 92, I don't think anyone would have predicted how far the HP and performance race would have progressed. It's been way outclassed by all manner of "regular" Mercedes these days. For $10K-$15K, you can buy a much later model E500 that is faster and a better ride overall.

And Porsche did have some involvement with the 500E, but really, who cares. That doesn't add much value, IMO.

And, it's a 4 door automatic. That's a class of car that never becomes "collectible."

I still think it's a cool car, if I had unlimited garage space, I'd pick one up.
