Show Us Your First Mercedes-Benz





We like to celebrate our forum members here at MBWorld, especially when they buy their first Mercedes ever. For instance, take our newest member, cheatham25. He just bought a 2015 S550 and is already absolutely in love with the car. We would like to learn about your first Mercedes-Benz, too.

MB’s of all kinds.
Beautiful pics! And welcome! Our first MB dates back to the late 70's so unfortunately no pics of it. I t was a 240D. 0-60 in about 20Seconds with a engine that could go 1,000,000 miles.

Brand new GLA 45 AMG EDITION 1
Never owned a Mercedes Benz or any other Prestige auto before, but this caught my eye and had to have it!! I like being different and this is the only
Edition 1 my area, so I guess it's kinda exclusive, and will fit the bill.

Hi everybody,

She is my first benz, it's a 2003 CLK 240. I know it's not as impressive as some of the other cars posted above but as a first car it's pretty amazing.

2007 e320 Bluetec


My first Mercedes-late 80s (?) e190 Diesel which ran and drove but was pretty beat up when I got it. I tried to fix it up but there was just too much wrong with it. Had it for a while then passed it on to someone else. It was a cool little car though.

1999 S320
My first Benz

OK, here's my first Benz. It's 1999 S320 that I just bought in Nov 2014. It only had 22k miles on it and is in pristine condition. I wasn't really looking to get another car, but you just don't get a chance to get one like this very often. Looking forward to many years of enjoying driving it. So far, it'd great. It's replacing my 99 Infiniti Q45t that I've had for 11 years and I still love it. But it has 171k miles, so I decided to get the lower mileage car.

C230
First MBZ: 2006 C230 Sport




I got this silver Mercedes C230 last year; it had 62K miles on it. Couldn't get it CA smogged because of the well-known cam belt wear issue, but W. I. Simonson, my local MB dealer did the teardown and rebuild for free. Pulled the stock radio and replaced with a JVC unit with Bluetooth so I could use with my iPhone.

'04 W211 E55
My first Merc: 2004 E55 W211

I was very lucky to have come across this when I did. Was in need of a replacement for the 40th Anniversary 370z that I had totaled.

This is how it came to finish, after owning since July 2014.

cl63


This was taken of me and my first MB in 1957. Don't remember the year od the MB. Does anyone know. It had been converted to gas from diesel and was a lot of fun for a 16 year old. My other car was a fast one. 2 cars at age 16. Have not changed much. have a CL63 now.
