I'll be 60 the 23rd of this month. Bought my 03 SL500 four months ago. This must be my old life crisis, cause I bought a Mazda RX7 twenty years ago when I was 40 for my mid life crisis. I don't know where my three motorcycles fit into all this, I started riding in 1965 and never stopped (was that an early life crisis?)

I can say that I wish I had purchased a Mercedes a lot sooner.

I Could not have bought it new, 1986, when I was 43. 56K( more than a years Salary). But I did at 62. A pleasure every day. Daimond Blue Metalic, 143K Miles.
PO was a Mercedes Mechanic so everything works.
I was in HS when the 300SL came out for 66K in 1958. It's good to live in America!!!
