Talking to this guy at LKQ today he says his nephew (who is also A parts puller there) bought a 2010 E430 (I think that was it) from a guy who brought it in to sell as the air shocks (which I guess the car has) were collapsed and he didn’t want to pay for new ones so he was going to sell it to LKQ. The nephew bought it from him for $700. They were going to fix it this afternoon with shocks from somewhere, then flip it. If it’s in decent shape that’s probably $6-7k at least.
