Iam 24 year old single guy who just graduated and bought a 96 s320. The car is beautiful, but iam really getting sick of people saying stuff like 'iam too young for a car like this' or 'ure wasting ure money' or 'is this ure dad's car?' Is there anyone like me who drives a machine like this?

I was 18 in 1998 and purchased my 1st a creampuff 1990 300sel champane on champane interior, and like you I always was teased i was driving my daddys car or grandpas car.. but the real case was is I worked my ass off to get the car, I was ripped off from the stealer, lets just say with interest the car cost me 42000 dollars young and stupid and signed with a 22 percent interest plust over paid for the car by 5k but I bought it right from the mercedes benz lot, anyway sad store I had nothing but problems with the engine which i later found out that this was common problem with the 300sel and I brought it back to the dealer and they said it was fine, make a long story short I ended up taking a huge loss after 4 years of ownership. Next Mercedes 2002 w140 1996 ooooh the next level. with 18 inch amg mono's white on dark tan interior.. 2006 w140 has seen better days starting to fall apart seems like everything is breaking on it need to upgrade to a 99 s500 low miles........

My proffession is in sales so during the week im dressed up and on the weekends I go to foxwoods and usually am in jeans and shirt sneakers, no matter how I am dressed I always get treated with more respect from other motorists and believe it or not the police as well. It seams like I get special attention or something cause I have a w140. Also I remember when I had my 1990 300sel It was the same thing respect respect respect. Also when ever I have a passenger in the car they always comment at how everybody is staring the car down, I am immune I guess I just dont notice it anymore. To give an idea I have 1996 s320 (rebadged from prev owner as s500) with 18inch chrome amg oem monoblock II, Car is white with An interior that can only me explained as orangish brownish rustish color im sure you mb fans know the color, anyway I also have 2 6inch tv's in the headrest and painted the 2 tone to be all white, also put in crystal clear headlights and clear corners, also rear taillights updated to euro cryslel clear. but gonna retire this bably really want the coupe.. plus I put on 100k miles on it and time to upgrade. I might keep this one as my commuter car
