My opinion is that the 210's are nearly fully depreciated.

My 2000 E430 was purchased by the second owner owner of the car in 2003 (with about 30,000 miles) for $34,000.

I paid $18,600 for it in 2005 with about 70,000 miles.

You can find 1998-2000 E430's all day long on ebay Motors for between $9,000 - the low teens with around 100,000 miles. I'm not sure how much depreciation these cars have left in them.

We're talking about a car here (the E430) that sold for around $65,000 brand new, and that you can now buy for around $10K.

As far as I'm concerned they are shamefully undervalued.
