Dear Mr. Shiv Shankar,
I know that it's pretty hard to find good cars in the used car segment. I for instance was looking for a top quality E250 diesel W124 (pre 1998). There were cars of all kinds available and I saw 40 cars (E 250 Diesels)but I found only 2 which were in decent condition One was a 1993 model with AT and sunroof, but no service records (asking price Rs. 5 lakhs, and one Indian car 1996 model asking price Rs.6 lakhs.) I chose the second one and bargained and got the car for a decent price. But it is plainly evident that it is better to buy a good old Benz than almost any of the new cars available at 15 lakhs. I considered several in that range and am convinced that I made the right choice.
The point I want to emphasize here is that you got to pay more for excellent old cars. The price of cars older than 20 years may not even depreciate if it is a Benz. I know people who are willing to pay upwards of 4 lakhs for a 123 series Benz in excellent condition. I also know of several 124 series cars begging even sub 2 lakhs! But the buyer beware, you may end up paying Rs. 5 to 8 lakhs on repairs!

I completely agree with Mr.Ronny's answer. Mr.Ronny, could you inform in which city did you buy your car?
