How old are you?

I was just wondering... what is the average age of a CL owner? Does anyone know? I would think maybe lower than most S class owners... but its not a cheap car so most younger people probably can't afford it. I'm 36. But this car seems to have real broad appeal. My 14 year old neighbor kid thinks its the coolest thing, and the other day I had 4 older business guys in suits who were in their late 50's staring inside. Does anyone know what the average is?

Residency.... thats well paying! hehe

My company does high end audio/video installations... home automation systems, high end security systems... custom residential movie theaters. I started 16 years ago when I was 20... while in college.

I am really surprised how young so many owners are on this forum.

I am in Boston. If I am far away, I would be more than happy to go over the proposals with you and give you an honest opinion. I am sure I can give you some good advice if nothing else. Anyway, you can send me a private e-mail so we don't turn this into some big off topic thread.

IMHO, women love the money and status that the DRIVER of the car carries. Not so much the car itself LOL.
I'm married so I know women.............ehmmmm actually I have absolutely no friggin idea LOL

I'm 26 btw, hope to get my own CL65 before I'm 33. I haven't made my fortune yet

Gobiz, I guess Malaysians are the few that are still around marrying early. You're 26, thought you're more like over 30s the moment I read you're married. I'm also married last year. Was 23 then! lol Guess I found the right person.

CL is definately NOT a car for girl/females. I think they like the SLKs and CLS a lot. My wife saw a CLS500 back couple of weeks. She's pratically all over it more then she does to me... sad sob.. To be honest, CLS is really growing on me. The first time I saw it, i felt like puking my guts out but the more i look at it now, the better it gets.

I suppose it really does grow on you. The angle from the front is the BEST man.
