If you drive a C63, what is your annual household income (before taxes)?

I've set up a poll asking: if you drive a C63, what is your annual household income (before taxes)?

Keep in mind that your response is totally anonymous, so don't be shy about participating.

What drives you to ask questions as such?

im curious about the outcome of this poll if it were answered honestly, AND if the poll results up on top were the only place we saw any actual numbers.

I think I know where I stand in the world, but I'm curious about the demographics and other traits of C63 drivers (at least those who participate in this forum). I bet there are plenty of others who share my curiosity.

I'm pretty sure the results are anonymous (and only shown in overall results graph), since making them anonymous was a choice I selected when creating the poll.

... including me, which is why the poll is anonymous. If you look at the poll results so far, you'll see that they're anonymous.

sorry, I didnt mean to offend w/my statement, its in some ways sad in America that the creation of wealth is looked down upon by those in power so we feel paranoid about sharing information even when amongst friends

i know what you mean. for the poll, i went on last years income but im expecting this years to be much better once i get all my ransom notes out of accts receivable. so far my grocery budget and overhead with all the blindfolds has skyrocketed. its really been a ***** trying to figure out my quarterly estimates in 2011 with what i want to report or keep on the downlow here.

WOW!! I am blown away that you have some members making less than $50k a year and are driving a C63!! I make in between $50-$100k a year and there is no way I could afford a C63 right now...

Maybe I need help managing my finances

I really think that these dollars amounts are flawed, as people lying amount their income.

Could you explain why you think that? The distribution of results looks plausible to me, except that the number of people making over $2M may be exaggerated, since no one is reporting $1M to $2M at the moment.

It would be interesting to run this same poll on the E and S class AMG forums and compare teh demographics of each.

I just think that some people may have exaggerated, about their income that's all. If I was making $2M, would I be driving a C63, not that their is any wrong with the C63, as I own one. I just think that if I made that type of money, I would be driving something like a CL63 instead. Or maybe something a little more exclusive or exotic, say perhaps a Ferrari 458 Italia. That's all I'm saying.

+1

IF I was making +2 million a year I would think my car of choice would be something a little more high end
