17, and glad I did.
1980 300D. Bought it brand new in Dallas when I was 17. I’m still driving it today. My daughter is 6 now, and wants it as her first car. That's fine by me.

23. Needed to buy a 4-door since we had our first baby on the way. Saw this cute little green MB, and went for it. This was almost three years ago.

Wanted one when I was 15.
Bought my SDL 2 months ago off ebay, I'm 18 and can't imagine ever driveing anything else! Thats the problem with driveing a MB it ruins you, everything else is just cheap junk to me now.

I was 16 when I inherited my parents' 190D. They sold it a year later because they thought it was going to nickel and dime them to death.
I was 21 when I bought the SDL... I'm 22 now. |

I agree with hatterasguy, I work at a used dealership that mainly sells 1-3 year old Gm cars, and the difference is that of night and day between them and my SD. Everytime a friend asks me about a specific car, I always say junk, no matter what they say. Every car has its problems, but MB's are manageable and make up for it in so many other ways....
Thanks David

too old
I was 52 when I bought my first, an'87 420 SEL. Next came a'78 300D, currently w/ a bad transmission($800). Then came my current fave, an'81 240D stick($500. I put on new front brake pads, front shocks, and a used rear axle,total cost about $1000, I am putting a timing chain on soon). I am currently negotiating to sell my 420 and buy an '85 300TDT. I always hated to wok on cars when I was younger, mainly because of poor design and engineering, fasteners designed to work only once, etc. I love benzes, wish I had found them years ago.

I think I was 23 when I bought my 74 240D in 1999. Never got to drive it though, as the engine had a severe knock, because the previous owner (owner after my uncle who bought it nearly new) had left the oil cap off. I discovered that it had set on wet ground so long, on flats- that the floor pans had rusted out. Otherwise the car was 100% rust free southern car. I sold it for $75. two months later.

@ 52 I bought my first MB
I have liked diesels for the past 20 years & driven them for 15 yrs.
When I bought my W123 300D with small dents in every panel, I looked for one with good bodywork. the Mrs took one I bought for the body. I had to buy another parts car.
