Average age and Income of recent s550 owners

I was wondering what the typical age and income of recent s550 owners are on this forum. I read that the average s class owner is in their 50s with annual income greater than $300k. Just wondering how that compares to owners on this forum. I test drove a preowned 2014 s550 and its got me hooked. I'm thinking of getting a 2014 or new 2015 as it seems you can get one at a pretty good discount. I'll go first and hopefully others don't think this is too prying of a question. Maybe keep it within a reasonable range so not to be too specific

Age: 35-40
Household income: $200-250

i don't mind disclosing my age -- 48 -- but i'm not comfy talking about my income in a public environment. or anywhere for that matter.

"The average Mercedes-Benz customer was 54.6 years old last year"

source article

"M-B says the S-Class buyer averages 62 years old, is almost certainly a man (83% of buyers), married (87%), has a college degree (81%) and enjoys a median income of $324,000.

Buyers of the AMG, M-B likes to say — with only slight exaggeration — are half as old and twice as rich: 40s and $500,000 to $600,000 yearly income."

Good for a Laugh

I figured that at the age of 82 this car was the last line on my Bucket list.

After reading some of the answers to this topic I had a situation that hit close to home about disclosing income.

Have two houses...no mortgages.... 35 Ft Sailboat paid for.......Owe nothing on 2008 Lexus LS460, or 2013 Hyundai Equus, or my 2015 S550.

Now....Costco is discontinuing American Express......have had a card with them since they began with Costco in 97......prior to that I had a corporate Gold card since 1962.....sold my business and retired in 91....

Now for the laugh.....they will not issue me a new card unless I disclose my income...

The purpose of this diatribe is that I hope some executive at American Express will see that talking to an overseas customer service rep with a miserable command of the English language is not really a good way of economizing , or that one of the members here that might own Amex stock will dump it.....

Don't think this is the right place to inquire about someone's personal income.

Some things really have no place on a public forum, and I think it's no one's business what someone else makes.

Moderator should consider closing this thread since some addressed their income. For their own safety.
