Maybe some people thing they're getting a "new" car. They think if one of these cars is good at 100-200K miles then one with 50K is even better.
Problem is that with these cars they need to be driven or things are going to go bad. The one I looked at with around 50K had to have the transmission replaced because it wasn't driven enough. Luckily the original owner took care of it before selling it but there were other issues that were showing up when I looked at it.
Other cars may be more forgiving if not driven much but not MB's.
