Definitely seen a marked increase. W123’s around me have been riding for a while, $4000 is pretty much base price for anything reasonable. You can’t get a good SD for less than either. Then in the last year or so w116 prices have suddenly jumped as well. They were very low for a long while, I think they jumped because everyone that couldn’t afford a w123/w126 around here anymore saw them as an option, driving the price up.

This is for diesels only of course. Gas w126’a are still cheap, as are gasser w116’s.
