The real problem is all of the new reality shows, Gas Monkey Garage sold a horrid rusty Rambler for 20k to a yuppie, the thing looked like a bad LSD trip. The whole rat rod industry is the next bubble, a few years ago it was Mopar's with a Hemi. Heck, even clean 240D models are being advertised for 10k to 18k in Hemmings right now, ironic that the bottom of the line car is worth more than a similar condition SL from the same period.

the 240d is a very very good car. excellent handling, ride and engineering. quality, servicibility, and economy really second to none.
Decent fuel mileage and a manufacturer who will provide any part needed along with excellent after market stuff.

I think it's driven by fuel economy. Feeding cars fuel is only going to get more expensive. People who want flashy cars want them to get better gas mileage now! A 240 is one of the few classic cars at 30 years old you can get 30MPG out of.
