Still looking for my Geritol!
And still amazed that such young people are the largest consumers of at least this particular series of MBZ.
I mean, I'd bet that MBZ is marketing to an older crowd, their traditional customer, the older guy with a family looking for a safer car, that will impress people.
They need to change their marketing!
Really, being 42 now, I appreciate life more than I did when I was younger, and want to be around till the end, not have it end in a senseless car accident; 8 airbags and MBZ's reputation were huge selling points, but then also, I mean it has exotic car looks and supercharger with such a nice and functional interior! Oyster leater and Orion Blue RULE! (Although I did like the magma red, but didn't want to stand out quite so much for the cops, and getting Oyster in that car is a "special order")
The words out of my mouth when I sat in it, were "wow, it's GORGEOUS". And I never ever use the word
gorgeous. Amazingly, every one else, says "gorgeous" too!
>>>Which one of young punks stole my
Geritol?! Come back here so I can beat you senseless with my walking stick!
I'll beat yer punk ***** silly! Oh my heart!
Someone get my pills! (gasp wheeze, choke)
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. <<<<<<<

'02 C230K
41 The USA was sweeter in the 80's. All you 20 somethings know the music was lame, but that was because everybody was too busy partying and banging. NYC rocked 20 years ago. The South Bay ruled in SoCal. Big Ten campuses played all night. Florida was on another planet. Oh yeah, the new cars pretty much sucked too. Carpe diem. Vote.

19. My dad reserved his M3, about 1.5 ago and had about 300th production slot. The car was suppose to be for himself and my mom would of taken the S500, but it took too long for the car to come (for the better). So my dad got my mom an S8. So then in the Meantime me and my bro were getting a car together and convinced my dad to get an S4. Then my bro went to college so he needed his own car. and then when i was going to college the M3 was just coming so i got to keep it . Funny how things work out.

'14 GLK250 Diesel
57. I've owned a total of 14 MBs since 1968; most recent purchase was 3 days ago, a 2002 C240 sedan.
Thought about the coupe, but wanted the softer ride and quieter interior of the sedan. I do like the hatch, and think the C230K is a raging value in this market, just not quite the car we need.
