          whats your advice gfy?
          I didn't know GFY allowed high school students (kids).

          Anyway, to answer your above question, my advice would be bank the money or invest it. In most cases, cars are not an investment.

              Edit. thanks for the info. im not in highschool by the way, plus i thought the rules are 18+ . Which means you can be in highschool and be 18. Unless highschool is differnt age in the USA,

                we have a new model SLK - nice car but it's definitely a chick car in my opinion

                it's super small inside, I have driven it a few times but my back is fucked up (I'm 6"4' though) after an hour drive. Not recommended for tall guys

                the hard top rocks though, works like a charm.

                my girlfriend wanted the old model first but we said fuck it, lets go for the newer model!

                    If this is a serious thread, don't buy it. Owning a luxury car at 18 is no different than owning one at 20, 30 or 40. I drove a Jaguar when I was 18 - it was an xj6 and I wrecked it (there's a thread somewhere on GFY) caused my insurance to jump from $170 to $340 per month.

                    If you can't drive you should be looking at something cheap. Once you learn to drive find something that's nice and fuel efficient. For example I'm 20 now and drive an 07' Toyota Yaris sedan. I feel 'cooler' driving my fuel efficient Toyota than I ever did when driving my Jaguar.

                    Besides that, it only costs $20 to fill up, gets almost 40 miles per gallon and my insurance dropped back down to $186 per month.

                    Edit: also if you're a webmaster you probably don't do enough driving to justify spending that much of your money on a car.

                        thats a very very good point, overlooked by many people

                        why do you need a car if you sit in your apartment submitting galleries and browsing GFY ;-)
                        working from your home doesnt even require a car, and if you need it to go to the supermarket once per week, you can buy the shittiest one.....
                        the neighboors may laugh at you and you won't be bragging about it on GFY, but who cares?

                        sure thing, scotty may want some flashy car to go partying, but when you're dunk or stoned, you can't drive anyway, so its pointless

                        if you want to buy the groceries you can go on your feet, if you need something urgently few miles away, you just take a cab
                        then again, each situation is different and at a certain point in life, you buy flashy cars even if yuo drive them every 3 weeks, like Minte (or Bike as well?) because you can buy them and still have a bank account bigger than 90% of people

                        but in scotty's situation, I wouldn't really buy a "flashy car"
                        I don't use ICQ anymore.

                          if you want to spend wisely $20k, buy a typein domain for 3 years income, that beats a few times the real estate investments

                            Bro listen to me!! I bought my first car at 17..

                            Infiniti G35 COUPE FULLY LOADED with navigation, came out to $40,000 total.

                            Unlike u, it didnt empty my bank account BUT if i could take it back i would..

                            Why? Because ive spent over $100k on that car, YES, 100K!!

                            First insurance was running me $7k/yr in NJ, not to talk of people denting my bumper in parking lots and me coming out to find out my bumper is fucked, then having to spend like $2k to fix it(My insurance deductable is $2,000 so i might as well not go thru insurance)

                            Ive had people ding my door, etc.. Besides, i get around 14MPG the way i drive, therefore it costs like $60 to fill up that 20 gallon tank..

                            And i have 60,000 miles. so divide ull get around 4000 gallons that ive used in gas over the years.. Multiply that and ive spent around $10k for gas over the years..

                            haha the maintenance is ridiculous.... recently just spent $2k for new break disc pads, rotors, etc.. not to talk of the services that run me like $1k or more depending..

                            Ive also lost 4 low profile tires to the fucking manholes in NJ, btw each of my tires are 19" and they cost around $300

                            I could go on and on.. I know ive spent over $100k on my car because i did taxes and i ordered bank statements dating back and i tallied it up, it came up to like $112,000.. RIDICULOUS>.

                            So i would have saved that $100k if i went and bought like a toyota..

                            SO DONT GO BUY THIS CAR! if insurance doesnt kill u, gas will kill u, if gas doesnt kill u, maintenance will, if that doesnt kill u, dumbasses denting ur car will...

                            DID I enjoy my car? YES do i love it now? YES.. Will i get another expensive car? Yea, but now im almost 22.

                            save your money invest in some other shit.. i woulda been at least $50k richer now if i didnt buy this car.. $50k is a shit load of money..

                            OH YEAH when i bought the car i spent 6% on tax on top of the $40k, so do the math. ive also gotten numerous speeding and parking tickets which i didnt include

                                At your age, it's pretty hard to talk you out of buying something like this. I made the same mistake, thought having a cool car was what I needed. But you'll someday realize that cars for the most part, are a waste of money. They get you from point A to point B and decrease in value every mile and day you own it.

                                Take that money and invest in your business. Buy a nice domain name, buy some quality one way permanent links, buy content for your website, buy some time from a programmer to automate the tasks on your site. These things will increase your residual income and make you a wealthy young man.

                                Your options are this: Have a sweet car for a few years and no money in your bank account. Or have a shitload of money from your business in 3-4 years because you invested it in your business and now pulling big bucks in your early 20's while your friends are just trying to get in the door at an entry level job.

                                You don't want to be hood rich.

                                          You are what they call n1gg3r rich.

                                          You spend every penny you have to buy a benz, you live with your folks(cant afford your own place), cant afford insurance(Spent all your money already), and when something goes wrong to your car you cant afford to fix it.

                                          I can see it now; A benz sitting in your parents front yard with dents in it, a busted taillight, broken window or 2 with no insurance.

                                            Don't fucking do it. I bought 2 new cars this year and am regretting it. I had a perfectly good beater for A-B. Just don't do it.

                                                        In college, only a total tool would drive a flashy car like that, especially if you're trying to impress.

                                                        Have fun and drink and party and fuck as many girls as you possibly can. Save the flashy wheels for your 20s.
                                                        I don't always drink beer, but when I do, I wish I was drinking wine instead.

                                                              If you don't know how to drive.... don't get a nice car that will break the bank. You will have fender benders and the car will get beat up. I destroyed a few cars before I learned how to drive.
