I think condition affects the value a lot more than mileage. If it's been hit hard, I'd be wary at any price. Before buying the car I did, I checked out a 97 E320 wth 122k miles. It was in average condition, seller was asking $12k. I offered him $8k, but he wouldn't go below $10k.
I settled on a 98 E320 4Matic last November for $13,900. (In my experience, the AWD adds $1-$2k to the value over comparable RWD cars.) I bought it from the original owner. It has one very little door ding, no accidents or paintwork, no leaks, no rust anywhere, and the interior is mint. My A/C compressor went out, but other than replacing that $$$ item, I haven't had any other issues in the 10k miles I've owned it.

It's hard to tell anything about a car's condition with pictures. Gaps are often not quite right after an accident. The bottom line is that if you're happy with the car's cosmetic condition, and there are no obvious mechanical problems, then you got a great deal! And it'll probably run forever. Look on eBay; you'll see plenty of W140, W124 & W210 Mercedes with your inline-6 with 200,000+ miles. 
Think of it this way. A lot of brand new cars -- many not nearly as nice as a Mercedes -- depreciate $7500 or more in the first year. Even if disaster strikes and you have to walk away from the car within a year (highly unlikely), you still spent less money than if you had bought a new car.
