How old/young are you guys, you don't have to give an exact age but give us a ball park.

When I joined the forum, my username applied to the CLK and me. A couple of years later, I had to buy the E or I would have had to change it.

I’m not sure if I’m looking forward to be “ima65r2”

Understanding the data

I am interested if we could get data on ownership split among buyers of new E55s vs previously-owned ones, and between W211 owners vs. W210 ones.

Thanks.
