Plus one on item 2.

I have been, on and off, in school until abut a year ago (two graduate degrees). It is not outlandish for a 24 year old to be in school. Before reading the 'getting laid' comment, I was willing to guess he was pursuing an MBA or something, but looks more like he is still working on his general credits

SL 55 and Range Rover Sport Supercharged
I am 41, had Porsches in the past...bought an SL55 and cannot tell you how much I love everything about it! Sucks about no rear seats for the kids though...just couldn't bring myself to buying a 63...doesn't have the lines that the SL55 has! Also have a Range Rover Sport Supercharged for the winter. Love the trash talk flying back and forth...great reading!

I agree with the 1st comment but the 2nd one kind of sounds like a non MB owner comment..... not all MB's are 80k

21 w/ an 03 sl500. ill be honest, got it for half of trade-in value off of my father when he upgraded to a sl55. gotta take them handouts while you still can! hah
next car will be a 65amg, cause by the time im done with school (mechanical engineering and MBA focusing in hospital admin) and have money due to not having to pay obscene tuition bills on top of regular living expenses, cost wont be so bad.

Also, i am now curious about these AZ women. i go to Florida State University which is KNOWN to have some of the best looking women in the country...

2005 SL65. I also like to get that girls phone number but not for marriage purpose. I have awsome two kids and beautiful wife but just in case something happens in future. I do agree with no rear seats. this car would of been perfect if there were rear seats for kids.

I just turned 25 and worked my *** off since I got out of college to pay off all my debts, an sl600 is going to be a reward to myself for 6 years of non-luxury cars. I strongly agree that nobody under the age of 19 should be able to pay cash on even a pre-owned mb, the numbers just don't add up to me. I worked since age 9 farming 10-12 hours a day in the summers, had 2 jobs in high school, worked through college, and work 60 hours a week now...and I'm about to break even of all debts, I did pay for my own schooling tho. If you were able to pay cash on one of these, please let me know what allowed u to go to school and still make that kind of money.

on the AZ note, I go to visit fam down there, I'm from Lincoln, NE and there are some decent girls that go to UNL, but when I was in Phoenix at malls, pools, and wherever, it was like even the ugly girls were pretty cute...
