That's what I remember about the 560 series. The 560SL's were always the highest price, most depreciation resistant of the R107's. So were the 560SEL's.

Along that same line of thought, the 600 series V-12's of today aren't bought so much by the wealthy MB enthusiasts amongst us, but by rap stars and actors and sports figures. For them, it's only a fad and it's only useful until the updated Hummer comes in. Hummer or MB S600--equivalent--so once they are done with it, just dump the car and move on. In the mean time, the car (1) either didn't get driven much or (2) abused.

Just speculation here--I've never even seen an S600 that I've noticed.
