Second owner. Bought at 65000 mi, now at about 75000 in a little over a year 
My car original came from an Italian dealer, went to Germany, and then was finally imported to Lebanon. That makes me at least, the fourth owner
But I can confidently claim I'm the one that pampered it most

I disagree ... no pano, no claim
Kidding aside, I got mine (1999 SL500) when it was a year old with about 14K, now it has 90K

And another '97 40th anniversary SL500.
3rd owner officially, 2nd practically. Started in NJ and after 2 years its owner moved to FL full time; what I understand is that owner's widow owned it for 2 years but drove it less than 2000 miles before trading in. Bought 4 weeks ago at 45,300; now at 46k.

Second Owner.
Purchased from the original owner in March 2009 with 31,100 miles. It now has just over 33,000.

I'm her 3rd owner.
The first one brought her with him from Germany in 2005.
The second (a friend of mine) left her parked on the street one night while the floor paint in his garage was drying. The following morning, he found her with the top in shreads and every single body panel gone over with a key or screw driver... Luckily, the pano had stayed indoors.
I bought her in March with 73,000 miles on the clock. She now has 10,000 more.
