42 in August.

Geez, I'm rather surprised how many took the plunge on this at a such a young age....now I have to wonder, how many took a lease and how many own....
I guess 25-35K just don't count for much these days.
The best looking small car on the road IMHO.
Fell in love immediately.

I'm 21 and had to lease mine. I pay for everything I buy myself and find it hard to believe that any 17 or 18 year old could buy one of these cars with their own money. I dont have that high of credit rating, but somehow I got approved without a cosigner or even a super high downpayment, just have to pay a higher rate. Its alright though, cause after its paid off, I'll be able to get a real nice Benz at a much better rate.

Oldest so far

I'm clearly the oldest respondent so far -- I turned 68 this month. The older I get, the less stodgy my cars become. The C230K Sports Coupe peels the years away.

76 At least some of we seniors recognize a great automobile.
I have owned MB's of all types inculding E,S and SL's and
honestly say I enjoy my 2002 C320 as much as any of them.
My previous MB was the 2000 E430 which was noisy and had a
harsh ride compared to the C. All the fun can't be had only by the
young.
