Average Age of M class drivers

I personally own a C320. Started a poll on this and it's interesting to see the results of owners. I'm going to do the same for each class and see exactly the demographics. Should be interesting.

Actually, the M class is probably my worst response on the poll versus the other forums I put (i.e. C-class has 90+ voters, etc). I think it's because the majority of people on the forum are younger and typically don't have the M-class but go for my "flashy" models. For instance the AMG poll I put, out of 40+ votes, greater than 50% were 16-25 yrs old).

I think you'll find that a lot of ML owners purchased their trucks as second or third vehicles, therefore, they may be in the upper age ranges. That's the story in my case anyway. It's the wife's ride!

Lot of my colleagues discouraged me saying that ML320 is for Older people.Anyways I wanted a SUV and didnot mind what age drives it. You know people .. They always comment at what you do /how you do etc.,

You're right Benzboy. Mine is also a gift from my husband. Although, I thinking about getting an S class soon.

I'd have to be in the what is it, 18-23 range. I had the very first ml models, 1998 320. So we traded it in for an ml350 in july and bought a c230SS cuz of the sale thing as well. I wanted an E, but oh well. The 350 is now my mom's except she doesn't drive it, she drives her other car. So it's a bonafide garage queen. I take it out once awhile, so she doesn't feel bad. I must say, i've always loved the ml's despite there problems. Hope, the new ones will appeal to me as well.
