Very interesting statistics/demographics.
It is nice to see such a diverse population with different occupations and interests, yet sharing one common interest: AMG cars
PS: I am glad that I am not classified as an "old fart", yet.

As car models get older and less expensive, the demographic shifts younger. I had a 2000 A6 2.7T, and the AudiWorld forum went from old-guy to young-kid very quickly. It's interesting to watch the transition. At some point, the cars got so cheap that people buying them did not have the budget to maintain and repair them.
C32 / C55 is a real niche product and I think it will stay in the hands of true MB enthusiasts for a long time.

definately a huge difference in age in the used car market.

here's a brief quote from the article when comparing the average of new car buyers

here's a brief quote from the article when comparing the average of new car buyers
Another telling tale about buying age from CNW was that the average age of shoppers choosing a domestic vehicle was 49.4 years old in 2007 — older than the average 42.5-year-old buyer of Asian cars but younger than the 50.6-year-olds choosing European nameplates.
The oldest average shoppers industry-wide were looking at Ford or its Mercury and Lincoln brands, at 54.3 years. GM shoppers averaged 48 years old, while Chrysler shoppers came in at 44.
On the foreign-manufacturer front, an interesting auto rivalry also had interesting statistics: The average age of Toyota shoppers was 46.6 years old, while the average age for Honda shoppers was 51.2.
And while Buick is typically the butt of jokes about buyers who are somewhere between retired and deceased, the average age of a Buick shopper last year was 55.2 years old, considerably younger than the average 63.6-year-old Mercedes-Benz shopper.

lol well I guess our C's dont fit into that age 63 demographic. It is pretty funny, especially when people get into my car and don't know what it is. "This is a Mercedes???"
