140 resale value falling like a stone?

Has anyone noticed the prices of the 140 vehicles on the used market lately.
Did something happen and they have become undesirable?
Seems you can get late model (97-98) S500's that are clean and with records for 17-18K( or less with 100K miles or so)...I even saw a 97 S320 for sale near my house the other day for $9999.00.
If they fall much further in the next year the car will then become what I call a boat anchor...as the price to repair them over the course of a period of time will be more than the purchase price...I mean ,how many people are going to replace an evap core and closing assist pump on a 5-6K car?

on the other hand I guess if you like the body style...they are an incredible deal right now
