§ V.02What moves a car within the band
Within that band, manual cars account for 100 of them. Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of the range is wide.
The spread by variant, printed in full above, is usually wider than the spread by year, and a single median that mixes body styles describes none of them well.

§ V.06Questions
What is a 1992–1995 Mercedes-Benz 500E worth?
A 1992–1995 Mercedes-Benz 500E sold for a median of $44,250 across 146 completed auctions from April 2018 to October 2026 (BidBetter, as of 3 November 2026).
The middle half of those 146 sales fell between $30,875 and $64,800 (the typical range), and the full range after cleaning was $10,005 to $357,000.
What affects the price of a 1992–1995 Mercedes-Benz 500E?
Model year: by year, medians run from $35,000 for 1993 (49 sales) to $73,000 for 1995 (6 sales).
Transmission: Manuals hold a median of $37,250 on 100 sales, against $49,380 on 21 for automatics.
Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of sales spans $30,875 to $64,800.
Is the Mercedes-Benz 500E 1992-1995 going up or down in value?
Up. The 29 sales in the 12 months to 3 November 2026 had a median of $64,000, against $50,000 on 27 sales in the 12 months before, a rise of 28.0%. That compares whichever cars came to auction in each year, not the same cars sold twice, so read it as the direction of the market rather than a rate of appreciation.
How many Mercedes-Benz 500E sales is that based on?
146 completed auction sales, from April 2018 to 15 October 2026. The table above lists the 15 most recent, each linked to its auction record. The figures were last rebuilt on 3 November 2026.
What is the difference between the typical range and the full range?
The typical range is $30,875 to $64,800: half of all 146 sales fell inside it. The full range is $10,005 to $357,000, the cheapest and dearest sale that survived cleaning. The full range is set by outliers, so it is a boundary rather than a guide to what most cars bring.
Do manual or automatic cars sell for more?
In this set, manual cars account for 100 of 146 sales. Manuals hold a median of $37,250 on 100 sales, against $49,380 on 21 for automatics.
Does mileage change the value?
Mileage is recorded for part of this set, not all of it, so it is not used to adjust the median. It is shown in the sales table wherever the auction record carries it, and you can see the effect directly by comparing rows.
How current is this figure?
Data as of . The figures are rebuilt from completed sales on a schedule, and the date above is the date of the last rebuild, not the date this page was loaded.
§ V.07Method and sources
What these figures are. Every number on this page is computed from completed auction sales of Mercedes-Benz 500E cars built between 1992 and 1995. The median is the 50th percentile of the sale prices; the typical range is the 25th to 75th percentile; the full range is the lowest and highest sale that survived cleaning. Percentiles are linearly interpolated on the sorted prices.
What is excluded. Asking prices, reserve-not-met results, withdrawn lots and unsold cars are not prices and are not counted. Parts, memorabilia, literature, scale models and other non-vehicle lots are excluded. Sales not made in US dollars are excluded, so these figures describe the dollar market. Duplicate records are removed. Sales below a plausibility floor (5% of the median) and above a ceiling (10× the median) are set aside, because a $22 "911" is a data error rather than a cheap car.
What it is not. This is not an appraisal or an inspection, and it does not predict what any particular car will bring. Two cars built the same year can differ by more than the whole typical range on condition, originality, documentation and provenance.
The set. 146 sales from April 2018 to 15 October 2026, drawn from 9 auction sources, principally Bring a Trailer (106), Mbmarket (15), Gooding (6), Barrett-Jackson (5), Bonhams (4), RM Sotheby's (4), Broad Arrow (3), Collecting Cars (2), PCARMARKET (1). Data as of .
