The other thing to keep in mind in terms of pricing is on the West coast at least there is a good supply of used 129 cars now given the volume of trades for the newer 230 cars. So it's also a simple matter of supply and demand. If you can afford the maintenance you can get a late 90's 600 for almost 100k less than what it sold for new 6-7 years ago.
