Here are some sub-$20K MSRP cars from 2007: Mitsubishi Lancer GTS, Honda Civic, Hyudai Tiberon GT, Honda Accord, Scion tC, Mazda 3s, Nissan Altima 2.5, Chevy Cobalt SS and G5 GT, Ford Mustang V6 and the Subaru Imprezza 2.5i. Certainly not "classics" and some pokey ones, but not a bad grouping either.
The W124 has "youngtimer" classic styling, great build quality and if properly maintained will serve at least another generation. The newer cars, perhaps, but the odds are against them.

For the most part, I agree.
Will those cars afford you as much protection in the event of collision as a 124? More?
They have "oldtimer" styling too, especially the coupe. Turned onto a local roadway behind an 88 300SEL Turbodeisel on Saturday. Guy driving must have told his daughter in the rear seat there was an old MB on his tail. She turned around for a look-see. Twice.
Cute andy yes, a "youngtimer"
