Hmm I bought my first W210 at 24. Then I bought a W211 E55 at 27 and then an E63 at 30. All were new. Screw the mentality that its an old mans car. :v

26 and I ALWAYS buy Used.
I don't think it's that 211 drivers are so young in Age, I just think there are 2 kinds of 211 drivers, those that appreciate how amazing of a Car it is AKA "Enthusiasts", many of which are young and happy to own the Car, hence coming to an Enthusiasts Message Board and chatting about it. Then there are those other 99%'ers, AKA those with the mud-dirty 211's driving around everywhere who obviously just want it for the simple fact that it's a "Benz", status, etc. those tend to be the average buyer, older, etc. I think the younger guys will come onto a Board to talk about the Car and the average older Owners won't.

K-A, I believe your right. I'm sure especially where we went to school, there are a lot of people who just buy the car for the name and that's it. I love my car and all my friends always comment on how clean I keep it inside and out and they know I take car of her, and this applies to all my cars. That's just how I am. Most of all I used to keep my 94 S420 the cleanest. My friends were shocked when they learned it was a 94, they thought it was like a 99 model year.

2005 E500 Estate Wagon
I'm 38, and my wife is 32!!! We just got her a clean used 2005 E500 wagon that I plan on doing some minor mods too (she likes her cars to look sporty...especially since it's a wagon)!! I drive it sometimes, and I really think it's cool,and it's suprisingly fast too....and I really like how roomy it is inside!!!

Age, buying used compared to new
Just turned 37 and bought used. I agree that buying used is the smart thing to do, but damn a new car is nice...especially if you can keep it in perfect condition. There is just no way my *** could afford a brand new E-Class...yet, but I'm working on it
. But if I had $60k to spend, I would probably be looking for a used S class...lol.

I'm no longer a W211 driver but have owned three, an E500, E320 CDI and then an E350. I switched in 2006 to a C350 since I wanted a more sporty ride. I'm now 83 and feel like 23.
