My first car was an '91 Mercedes 300E wich i bought when i was 22.
Bought my curent '05 W211 E200 kompressor at age of 25,now im 26.
bear in mind these cars are quite expencive here in Norway,cost me 43000$ for the E200 kompressor,so for some of you the E200 aint much of an achivement in the US but here in Norway is BIG achivement.

Lots of young owners here. I suspect there are one or two other aspects of the demography which are skewed just as strongly, but it wouldn't be politically correct for me to speculate.

Hey, if you have cash flow of $20,000 per year or more to devote to the full cost of ownership of the car and you understand all the current and future trade offs you are making with that decision, go for it!

You really can't put all of the young owners here into one boat, I'm sure you're speculating based on parental income and such but to us it's really a misnomer. It doesn't matter to me, but I can really say by having the privilege to know many people on here, most, if not all, deserve it. I'm 16 and have an E550, and also happen to own a small but stable communications company here in Colorado. We all have different stories but we share the common thread of a love for cars and Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

66, third Benz. I am shocked at how many are in their 20's. I figured I was right in the age sweet spot for MB E ownership, like the modern version of 1956 Buicks (which I kinda liked).

Until recently, I road Harleys and that's an older group. Figured MB to be the same.

Like Hayekfan I am surprised how many young folks are driving MB. I thought with age came the cash.
