My seat of the pants market estimate
W210s 2k-5k depending on age, mileage, if it has a turbo or not. Personal data point, my 98 E300 is sale pending at $3k with 253k miles and just did the glow plugs last winter.

W211 05-06 (OM648 “CDI”) are now anywhere from 4-8k from what I was seeing while searching for a car a couple months ago

W211 07-09 (OM642 “Bluetec”) are now $5-10k. I bought an 08 E320 last year private sale for $9k

And I just bought a 2013 E350 BT from a MB dealer CPO for $19k so there’s another data point. This is the last year with the OM642. Non CPOs of this MY or especially the 2011-2012s with more mileage (thus disqualifying them from CPO) can be had in the mid teens.

The 2014-2016 E250s with the OM651 are commanding mid-upper 20s into the low 30s from MB dealers selling as CPOs.

The W212 diesels don’t stay in stock long at the dealers. I literally had to call and get my name in as soon as I got the email alert from the MB CPO site. I lost out on a few before jumping on it radio station contest style.
