Yes, but...

How often was it run, it could be a mess it simply sat unattended, even inside, for years and years. The rubber bits could shrink and dry out too.

It is being sold as is, so all those things are the worry of the buyer.

Fine, if it will be trailered to a museum and never driven again. With mileage that low, every mile driven will decrease its value, that is the buyer's conundrum.

Maybe it will be fine, .....maybe..... but as a practical matter,a SAFER bet with a big Mercedes like that, would be a car with higher miles, and driven regularly, with fluids changed at decent intervals, than one that just sat year after year.

Still, after all that, it might be the car to have if everything mechanical checked out, and it was in great shape mechanically, it could be like having a second chance to start out with a near new one. Americans worship at the altar of low mileage. No doubt the reserve price and the bids will reflect that.
