1997 Mercedes-Benz 
E420

Posted: 28 Jun 2021 07:00 AM PDT

With basically all the attention paid to the E55 AMG when talking about the 
W210 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, I think sometimes we forget that there was another 
V8 in the family. Well, technically two V8s with the aging M119 in the E420 and 
the new kid on the block M113 with the facelift E430. Today, we have one of the 
best early E420s I think I’ve come across in a long time, and even better, it 
is painted in Viola Metallic. This won’t last long.

Wow. What a spec on this one. This was well before any E55 was even announced 
for the US-market, so if you wanted a V8 E-Class in late-1996 and early-1997, 
this was it. A major factor on this one is obviously the Viola Metallic paint, 
and given how many of these were silver/tan/grey/black/white, this one is a 
breath of fresh air. I know not everyone can do purple cars, but I am all for 
it. Add in just over 57,000 miles, and this one looks like a winner to me.

The Buy It Now price tag of $9,000 seems reasonable given how the market has 
been, but makes me think twice considering I’ve purchased two E55s for less 
than that. Still, I think this is an awesome buy and priced reasonable, so it 
wouldn’t surprise me if it sells fairly soon, if not already sold. Grab it 
while you can, but I don’t think there is another like it.

It is a 6k car all day long out here if it has been maintained well.
Personally I would go with the m113k forced induction version though. That
motor is bulletproof and one of the few machines that could give a Tesla a
run for its money at the stoplight

Interestingly a friend with the slowest model X raced a vintage Mustang
hotrod at a light the other day. He said it was pretty even until the other
guy had to shift into second gear, at which point the mustang was no longer
a factor in the race.

A little, but not bad. These are fairly rare any more, and this one appears to 
be in very nice condition and with low (>100k) miles.

Show up with $5k cash and see what they do. It’s worth that.
