Steve Jobs driving a car for 6 months actually might increase it's value. I may be exaggerating slightly but I bet it didn't cost all that much.
I don't think most people who can afford $120k Mercedes vehicles really care who's driven them before. If it was a Ferrari driven by a rock star, maybe , but people who drive Benzes are generally boring and reasonable.
Approaching 4 years of driving with no plates on the same car here in California. Just leave the paper dealer plate(the one with the dealership name/logo on it) on the car. Cops wont ever pull you over for lack of plates, even if youre missing the front plate as well, as I am.

That's a $120,000 car? Hopefully it looks better from the front, or is extremely comfortable.
Can anyone explain the advantage to driving without plates? It seems that being the Mercedes AMG would be just as easy to identify as the Mercedes with the APPLE1 plate.
Perhaps it's not that he got a new car every six months because he really disliked plates. Perhaps he just got a new car every six months because he really liked having a brand new car.
Heck, I would. I wouldn't always get the same car, like Steve Jobs, but then again I wouldn't always wear the same clothes either.

It doesn't look all that different to a $45,000 SLK, though, which makes it the insanely fast borderline-supercar of choice for the billionaire who wants to remain relatively inconspicuous.
So basically, Steve got a new Mercedes more often than I get new shoes. Now that's what I expect out of a multibillionaire. Good to see he at least kept himself in new-car smell on a regular basis, and certainly kept a local dealer quite happy.

My best bet is he just didn't want to have to deal with the DMV...

There is no such thing as a $120k used Mercedes, outside of a 65 or a Maybach. As for the boring and reasonable bit, search 'G550'.
