I live right next to the Mercedes HQ in Stuttgart, as you can imagine the whole city revolves around Mercedes. Mercedes was very aware of there Image as a older persons car and that is why the revamped the C-class Sedan and introduced the new coupe. Guess what they hit a homerun. My wife is Swabish me a American and when I meet her all she would talk about is that she is from Mercedes town. I was complexed I told her you know Mercedes is for Old People right! But the New C class sedan and coupe have totally changed my mind and just found myself purchasing a C class gulp and not a BMW! Oh yeah Im 35 the wife is 27.

For 10g more than an optioned c350 coupe you can get the E550 coupe...with a TT V8. I couldn't justify spending that much on a C350 coupe if I could wait and go for the E550.

I think you need to fix your info in your details section, unless you also have a C250 diesel

I'm blown away that there are so many people under 30 driving a $45,000 car! Whoever said the economy was bad apparently isn't checking this forum, lol. When I was 17 I saved up for a $3,000 civic hatchback and was overjoyed! I can't imagine driving a 2012 Mercedes at that age.

Anyhow, I'm 31 with a white 2012 c250 and on Benz #2. I'm a Ducati guy too and spend 50% of my time on that, otherwise I would've went for the c63.

-parents + low finance/lease rates

even people who claim to buy it themselves... probably have other things paid for to compensate like school etc

I'm nearly 30 and affording a C350 would be really tough without any help

I don't really think its fair to assume that parents help you out with things just because you drive a Mercedes at a young age. I have had an Infiniti and two mercedes all before 21 and my parents pay for absolutely NOTHING (not even cell phone, gas, insurance, no allowance, nothing - since 12 years old. I just started working off the books and saved since 11. I will say though, that I do get free room and food (when I eat at home), but who doesn't get that.

I think it more has to do with the popularity of leases and the ability to drive these vehicles for so cheaply.
