In Europe, Mercedes-Benz is not really the exclusive luxury car it is marketed as in the states. It's still a higher-line marque, but they do sell them with cloth upholstery, manual climate control, manual windows, etc. as well as some compact "economy" models that we never see here. They are commonly used as taxis. So it does not surprise me that there are a lot more of the older models there, and they are correspondingly lower in cost.
