I would guess in '82 to be closer to the low to mid 40's.

Yup, I remember the base W140, the 300SE was $69,400, same price as a 300SD. If you wanted a 400SE, it was around 77,900, and then if you wanted a LWB W140, like a 500SEL it was like 93 or 94, and the Big Body 600 was almost 128 grand!!

50K seems a little steep, that might have been for a 500SEL, but I think that year, you could only get a 300SD or a 380 in a W126 in the US legally.
Our 1983 300SD was around $38500 that was with real leather, I remember the sticker...that compares to $73,542 in today’s prices.
When my mom bought her 1990 420SEL used in 1992 with 34K miles on it, paid 40K, and they gave us 10K trade in for the 300SD with 110K on it (shoulda kept it)
the original sticker for the 420SEL was included with it, IIRC it was somewhere around 63 or 64,000 dollars, started life off as a VP's car with Bed Bath and Beyond, and then we bought it, still have it too!
