I would keep it and ride it into the ground. I live in NOVA and have a 1997E300D and know the stealer will give you only dirt for yours. Its not going to depreciate anymore. However, these cars do need to be taken care of and not neglected and this is where DIYers using Peachparts.com excel.

You can sell it easily on craigslist for the price you will take. There are a number of buyers looking for these cars.....DIYers, WVO types, and those who just love these cars.
