To fetch big money they need to be low mileage, original, and well documented.

I can see 600's going over a million at some point.
500E, I can see obtaining collectors status, but their prices are still deflating.

600s - maybe, but only the LWB ones. And even then, only those with documentation/historical provenance will be worth something. This is speculation, but I only see a true MB nut wanting one of these that has no historical background. The hydraulic systems on these are pricey to maintain, and it takes a special someone to take care of them. (Have experience with one!)

AMG cars from the 80s... Well once again, only the ones with paperwork are worth something. Not to mention these really exotic AMG cars need a bit of specialized maintenance that I bet quite a few of them never got. And at that - an MB nutcase will be the one that will pony up the money for it.
