Serious Question-

I am doing an internal assessment for a friend of mine. He needs data figures for some big project he has. So please take out about 30 seconds of your time and contribute.

Some of these questions dont need to be answered.

What car(s)/year do you have?

How old are you?

Apart from performance, what factors went into buying your car? (interior styling, comfort, exterior styling, etc)

Around how much money do you make in a year?

How many more cars are you planning to buy in the next 2 years?


Thanks a bunch guys, this'll really help.
(as I said, you dont have to answer some of these if you dont like)

07' SL65, 04' E55, 03' Evo8, 08' GSXR, DSM's...
What car(s)/year do you have? I'll just list the MB's i own. 04' E55 and 07' SL65

How old are you? 33

Apart from performance, what factors went into buying your car? (interior styling, comfort, exterior styling, etc) All of the factors you just listed are the reason i bought the above cars. For the money, and overall package, i don't feel they can be beat.

How many more cars are you planning to buy in the next 2 years? Maybe one (Range Rover Sport Supercharged or Porsche Cayenne turbo)

Hope these help with your friends project. Good luck.

Aaron

I like the fact that the E55 is a nice, comfortable luxury car with crazy performance when you want it. I love sports cars, but I'm not too big of a fan of that cramped sports car seating... sometimes I just like to cruise.

Probably none... I just picked this car up a few months ago and plan on keeping it for at least 2 years, but ya never know!

I've always liked fast sedans, so convenience, practicality, and comfort played a huge part in my decision.

As of now, I'm satisfied with the car because it's not my daily driver and I don't drive it often even on weekends. As I drive it more, I think I will start to want something again. In the next two years, I probably won't be purchasing another car (but it may change)

Cars/year:
Had an 03 E55, currently have an 01 MB ML430. Have a Japanese econobox, and an Italian toy, but this is an MB forum!

Apart from performance, what factors went into buying your car? (interior styling, comfort, exterior styling, etc)
Style, comfort, reliability, 4 doors, and modding potential. Plus I got a crazy good deal on it.

How many cars am I planning to buy?
Depends. I buy and flip cars as a hobby to keep me busy outside of work. So many in that regard... But cars I will talk about on the forums - maybe 3 or 4. I get bored with cars after about a year, and change it up. I am currently shopping for my E55s replacement, and am considering a CLK63 BS or a Porsche GT3.

2007 E63 AMG
1976 Pontiac Trans Am

How old are you?
25

Purely performance. Knew i wanted a luxury "name" but didnt care for every little bell/whistle. Wanted as much performance as I could get number one, then a decent amount of comfort to back it up secondarily.

How many more cars are you planning to buy in the next 2 years?
If i'm smart, none. Have enough warranty on this one to carry me about 3 more years. So nothing planned currently.

Since this is an MB forum, I would only list my 2007 E63

How old are you?
28

Apart from performance, what factors went into buying your car? (interior styling, comfort, exterior styling, etc)
Comfort, exterior styling, MB fan, previous experience with MB and I think Mercedes are just so much better than BMW and Audi (I also own a BMW).

Around how much money do you make in a year?
Not enough

How many more cars are you planning to buy in the next 2 years?
Don't have any plans right now but could change anytime.

Fast and luxurious. Plus a lot more modding capabilities since it's already supercharged.

Don't work cuz I am a student right now.

A 2 door exotic sports car. Ferrari, Lambo. Only for summer.
