I think it is collecters driving the market for these. You would be stupid to pay $10k+ on an old MB and drive it everyday. Low mileage cars are generally pretty nice, they are paying for a nice body and interior, everything else is pretty cheap to fix.

For a driver I don't care what the odo says, I care about condition and maintaince history. I would buy a 200k car with a perfect maintaince history in perfect shape, over a 100k car with a few stories and no maintaince record.
