27; first MB of my own was in 2013 with the W221 but learned driving in a W164 Bluetec which to this day I still really like the drive of. Hydraulic steering is just so much better than electric on vehicles nowadays

So you were driving a W221 at 19?? What a boss! That is amazing.

I’m 56. I bought my first Mercedes-Benz in 2001 a C240. Manual transmission.

I am 78 now drive a cushy 2020 S560, my first MB I got in 2006 a new SLK 280 manual. Had 6 different MB's and a Porsche 911 Carrera S cabriolet in between. Slowing down now and love my new S560 and going to stick with it for many years to come with this timeless beautiful car.

do you have a favorite after collecting for all those years ?

I’m 17. My first Benz was an R350 which my family passed down through my brothers and eventually I got it, and I’m the only one who’s been obsessed over it since. drove it for about a year (still own it). That car was my first love, It can get mixed attention due to the minivan type shape but I think that uniqueness is what makes it so special to me and drew me into more Mercedes’ in the future. Which brings me to now, a few months back I bought a beautiful sl500 1994 in gold. Now I’m saving up money to make it perfect as can be. Nothing too crazy I just want it to look like it came straight off the lot in 94’, which too the normal eye it already does, but small things can be made better.

I remember you from when I was on this forum in the 2000's, I had my S600 from 2006 to 2011.

First car was 2001 c240 when I was 15, at 16 I got a W211 E500, 4 months later picked up W211 E55, and 2 more E55's after that. in 2020 got a 2012 SL550 and W204 C63. Now I have 2015 CLS63 AMG-S and a 2022 GLB250 at 22 years old.

You are very lucky! My son is likely to be getting a 2012 C250 in the next couple of months, but that’s it 😀

Got my first Mercedes Benz when I was stationed in Germany when i was in the Army...1974 and it was a pristine 1969 280SE. After I sold that beautiful Benz which I drove all over western Europe for 3 years, I didn't get another Mercedes until I was 65 years old and i could finally afford an S class. I'm now 74 and driving a 2019 S560. I'll always remember the thrill of effortlessly cruising down the German Autobahn at 130 mph just to keep up with the traffic.

I’m 75. Bought my first Mercedes at 45. I have had 12 Mercedes and still have 4.

S63 AMG

I am 76 and have been a Lexus guy for years but became intrigued with the S63 AMG and after looking decided on a 2014 with 44k miles. The performance, the lines of the exterior and the luxury of the interior is amazing. Won't be giving this one up any time soon

65, I didn't get my first Benz until I was 55 as I retired that year and got a 2013 CTS-V Cadillac Station Wagon and had a real lot of issues with it in the first year so I found myself a gently used 2012 E63 AMG station wagon and had great luck with that car and drove it 5 years and 50K miles at which point I ordered a brand new 2018 E63 AMG wagon and only drove that car a year before trading it in for a S550 and discovered the beautiful luxury of driving a S class. I also got a E450 Cabriolet and a little later a E450 wagon. AT this point I have a 2018 S560 and the 2019 E450 wagon both cars which are long term keepers. My biggest mistake was selling the 2012 E63 AMG Wagon, that car was a great car and I should not have let that car go.

Bought my first MB (w204) at 19 and I'm 20 now
I'm probably going to get a w222 soon.

First MB a '71 300SEL at age 39. Black over cream, picked up in Vienna. Drove it 105,000 miles, until air suspension wore out.
Now, going on 91, driving my '18 Emerald Green S560 with MBC, after a '12 S450.
Had a couple of in-betweeners, including a gorgeous light blue demo convertible...was difficult to get in and out of. Sold it back to dealer.
Have had a Morgan Plus 8; several Audi 5000s, when I thought Benzs were too expensive. Now, it's only money
Oh,yes, had a Cardinal Red '22 EQS450+ that I totaled last February with 3000 miles on it. Thought about replacing it, but decided to keep the insurance $$ instead.

First benz at 18 and what a funny one. A Mercedes VANEO. One of the ugliest cars they ever made but it was really practical and used very little Diesel. My dad wanted ESP for me which only the VANEO had in that class of cars at the time. Never sold in the US. It was like an elongated A-Class. It had some ridiculous issues like the sliding doors getting stuck sometimes, haha. Jeez, I drove that thing all over Europe, took it to Music festivals etc.

Now I'm 34.
