Why The Mercedes W124 500E Is a Modern Classic (4K)

In this video, I go over the Mercedes 500E W124 which was available from 1991-1995 and was later called the E500. I briefly cover the performance, model year changes, and unique Porsche production of the 500E over the years. Then, I look at the E60 AMG and provide a buyer's guide to the 500E.

This car was a legend in its own production time, it still is and it will always be a legend. Cars with this amount of character and soul may never be made again - ever!
I can't imagine anyone making a similar video about an electric car 30 years from now!
LONG LIVE FOSSIL FUEL CARS!

Great vid and a trip down memory lane 👌🏼 having owned a one owner German speck 1993 MY 500E for 3 years I appreciate your informative and accurate review 👌🏼😎 As an ex owner I’d also like to add that they can suffer from head gasket issues due to the thigh fit of the 5 litre V8 and the inevitable overheating that follows. My 500E had the engine top end rebuild and a new transmission replaced by the same supplying dealer in Stuttgart at around 160K kms few years before I acquired it from the original owner. If looked after they are capable of some mega miles. Sold my 500E with 256K kms in perfect working order back to a German owner.
Overall these cars are a fantastic bit of automotive engineering 👌🏼 ... sometimes I wish I still had mine 🤩 but such as life.

The depth of information and its presentation is of a quality Mercedes-Benz themselves should be proud of.

An absolutely stunning video. Your work is amazing. 🤍

I bought a W124 off Richard at Mercseller. A brilliant car that still looks awesome. Richards knowledge of classic Mercs is incredible and helped me so much in buying my car. Theres no better classic cars than Mercedes

I would love to have a 500e AMG in my garage. I miss that old body style, it truly is my favorite body of Mercedes. My dad used to work for a dealer, he left in 1993. This is such an iconic look for Mercedes. 1st car I ever drove when I got my permit to drive was a 600 SL at the dealer. Long story, but the owner of dealer loved my father like a son, and treated me like family too. Thank you for bringing me back to my youth. I do own a 2014 C63. But the 500 would look nice sitting next to it

At the beginning I thought like ohh another e500 video out here. But when I started wathing it. I understood that you made a very very comprehensive research and it is definetely a thumbs up!

My favorite Mercedes of all time. Has always been one of my top 5 dream cars of all time, next to the Ferrari F355 GTS, the Ruf CTR2, the e46 BMW M3 CSL, and the current Merc E63 AMG. I actually like the E60 AMG from the 90s better than I like the 2020 E63 AMG even though it's over 25 years older and lacks the current tech. That's how awesome of a great car it was.

[Specproof]

Thanks for the upload! Perfect production as always! I clearly remember the time when E500s were "cheap" like 10-12 years ago. Unfortunately, I was just a teen back then. Definitely in my top 3 bucket list cars.

[Walk.InHisWays]

you really make me appreciate these classics. thanks for the video boss

[Ainawi]

I can predict that the w124 300E is gonna sky rocket in price too if many people use them to build 500E replicas.

[SPEAKTHETRUTH...]

They need to bring back these old cars they are amazing cars ....
Love the old Mercedes Benz
BMW and Volkswagen cars of the 1980s and the 1990s....
