High mileage SLs

I don't own a SL, YET, but we do have 2 TDs. Anyways, looking at E-Bay, I noticed that nobody seems to want high mileage SLs. I base this on the low asking/bidding prices on the high mileage cars. Is there an issue here, or is just everyone wants a pristine example? Personally I would rather have a car that has been used regularlly, vs a garage queen. MB engines, be it diesel or gas, are meant to run. I have read that MB V-8s can see 300-400,000 miles. SO why the fear of a 150,000 car? Or am I not seeing something here? My wife has finally caught the MB fever. She sat in a 107 and said she wants one. Now, if nobody wants a SL with over 100,000 on it, I'll take it.
