Some things really have no place on a public forum, and I think it's no one's business what someone else makes.

Concur. I like the place where car lovers can discuss cars and not have another d*ck measuring metric by those that buy for status.

Just turned 34. Divorced once, married twice and kid on the way🙌🏻. I make actually six figures, not barely six figures. Only reason I didn't get the S600 was not because of money but because of lack of practicality. I simply asked myself "why?".

Actually, not sure why you are surprised by this. The largest percentage of divorces occur in their twenties or younger.

I'm surprised people give up so easy.....as if one just is marrying lust versus an actual person....and while the numbers you've provided are interesting; and sad.....I don't usually pay attention to these kinds of statistics.......it's true what they say about ignorance and I'm loving every minute of it

I'm not interested in what others make but I am interested in what others think one should make in order to reasonably consider buying a 100k car. 300k? I work with a guy who I would guess makes 135K and buys a new 65K E class every so often.

What about house price to car price ratio? Curious what multiple is.

I think it's fun talking about our age, don't have to go into the whole income thing.

I bought my first brand new S-Class which was the W221 when I was 29.

Upgraded to the W222 last year when I was 31.

If I was making 400k and living in Manhattan with a condo, a typical mortgage and two pre college teens, I'd be driving a Yugo. Same money in East Bumf**k Arkansas with no mortgage, no kids to put through prep school or college with that income I'd write a check for an S-class and not give it a thought.
Income is only one factor.

Actually if you were making 400K with 2 kids in Manhattan you would be riding the subway.

You're right because I couldn't afford to take a taxi.

The ideal income/price ratio would be 3.0. So say you want a very well equipped S550 that tips the 120k mark, you'd have to earn at least 360k a year and I mean a net annual salary of 360k.

M-B says the S-Class buyer averages 62 years old, is almost certainly a man (83% of buyers), married (87%), has a college degree (81%) and enjoys a median income of $324,000.
