Again, since there are so many different ages involve, this would make way more sense if we would know what the people do for a living or if the cars are sponsored by Goodwill, granny or wealtfare

I responded with my age (36), somewhere in this thread, but not employment.

2004 E500 - Bought used with 29K miles on the clock 2 years ago
2006 R500 - Bought new (kinda) with 3900 on the clock. Twas a manufacturer's demo and it's now worth less than my E500.
2001 C240 - Bought used for the nanny. I've driven it 3 times.

I work as a senior network engineer/architect for the world's leader in satellite broadband.

I am 20... Happy birthday btw nycturbo.
I got my 2003 E500 with 16,000 miles on it last year! I call him the Diplomat... So far I have put about 2,000 miles on it myself. Some old guy in Chicago was driven around in it for 4 years, and I found it!

Lol, I was thinking about selling our 02 CL500 in Canada since I heard from a friend there that I might get more money there for a car from California.
