The real problem lies on the fact that most W140s on the used car market today are third or fourth hand vehicles that had been highly neglected by their owners due to their incredible high mantaince costs.

Now these owners want to get rid of their W140s because their cars are getting to a point that they refuse to run anymore.

Prospecting buyers would have to at least equal or maybe even double the cost of purchase to get the vehicle to an acceptable performance.

The few first hand W140s available are difficult to find, and most prospective buyers are just plainly scared of what they would have to put up front to keep the car running.
