Yes, the supercharger will actually implode if not driven by someone over 40. Wacky AMG engineers!

The only problem will be finding a salesman who is anyway respectful of the fact that you're willing to spend this kind of cash on a C-Class. Find a good salesman/woman, and you're set.

Depending on where you live, it's very normal to see a 25 year old driving a $60K car, or in this case, a C32. I am 26, and I feel the car is just right for me. Call up House of Import and ask for the fleet Manager, Andrew. He should be able to hook you up.

I'm still 20 for another 6 months.

if u in So Cal/LA and need a good sales, let me know. My sales, well actually a boss of many sales now, is about 28-29. He had a C32 before and sold it for the E500. He's pretty crazy about mods too.

don't think any age is too young for a C32. you just need to know how to be a safe driver and don't show off. And if you consider the average age of those that drives the M3s new&old. If you say E55, then yes IMO.

I'm 30...

Interesting story! When I was trying to by my C32, They had 2 on order. The first 1 coming in was the one I wanted, but the salesman couldn't convince the buyers ahead of me to change their minds. The buyers were an older couple. He was a retired Auto Engineer, 82 yrs old!! He was too old to drive and has had his license revoked. She was to be the driver. 79 yrs old!!! The salesman repeaedly explained the nature of the car they were buying. The wife finally said, yes we realize it's a race car...THAT"S WHY WE WANT IT!!! We are old, not DEAD!

This car was my reward for selling my company.

If you are in Hartford CT - New Country Motors - Chris is excellent and took off almost 2k on the price. Excellent guy can't praise him or dealership enough.

So many young people drving a 60000 $ car !No wonder the USA is a country where dreams come true !
But honoustly guys how can you spend this amount on a car when you are not even 25 ? This asks for some explaining.
For myself I had a good income but I would have ruined myself financially buying such a car until a couple of years ago. Now I am 35 and if you wonder what I am doing that enables me to afford such a wonderfull car look at www.diberget.be

hmm...I've got Chinese/Taiwanese parents. family value is different for each families. The c32 is probably that only thing that's real other than my air jordan collection. I don't care for expensive clothes. Most of the stuff i bought were on sale. like those A/X t-shirt for $10 bucks.

Hey Guru,
You said you got the car for around invoice....did you acutally mean MSRP?!? If not, then can you be kind enough to share the dealership you went and the salesperson you talked to? Are you in Sol Cal btw? Thx in advance.
