The scary part is nice W126's will be worth more then W140's in a few years. A cherry 91 560SEL will still comand $10k. Price out a cherry low mileage 350SDL, the prices on those is off the charts.[/QUOTE]

I am not sure a 126 will bring more than a 140( all things being even)...I agree about the diesel cars...they seem to have a value of their own...especially the 210 turbo models...commading thousands more than their gasoline counterparts that were, in cases, more expensive new

I have seen late 140's(s500's) in the low to mid twnties...usually very low mileage,under 50K, and unbeliveably clean..there is one for sale at the local Lexus dealer...one owner ,45K miles..$24,900...however they have had the car about 2.5 months...so I don't think that is a realistic market price

however...the first time I have ever seen this type of advertising..one of the loacl MB dealers was advertising 10,000 off the sticker of all 2005 e class cars and 15,000 off all S-class cars in stock.
That reminds of GM/ford type of advertising...not that MB didn't have a huge discount from the new car sticker before( espeaially 126,124 and 140 cars)...however never seen a half page ad in the paper like that
