Should I splash out and buy this car?

[scottybuzz]

I dont know how to drive, but I got the money and I would definitley learn to drive if I had one of these cars. I love mercedes have all my life and have always wanted one.

this would be a pimp car for someone my age and my mother said life is for living and that she wouldnt mind it being my first car.. SO im seriously thinking about it.

Im of to university next year so i think its a bit of a waste as i wont be using it there that much

but having a mercedes at my age is just too cool to think about the consequences. It would be something i would remember all my life.

whats your advice gfy? Should I live life or be catious? Also car 1 or car 2 do you think would be cooler? Car 1 is a holiday car for me and a friend and car 2 is a clubbing car for my homies to go in the back.
Tell me about your tails on living out the wild life?!

Car 1






Car 2

[scottybuzz]

p.s. it would pretty much clear my bank account, either of the cars, so theres the catch.

[thricer]

I would buy the car number2 if I had the money

[PinPine]

What is the weather like where you from. If it's great, I would go for care number 1 otherwise take number 2.

[slapass]

I have a convertible in the frozen north and love it. Go the whole way dude. Get it and enjoy.

[stickyfingerz]

Splash out??? lol

[Jakke PNG]

Buy a cheaper car as your first car..you'll wreck it anyhow.

[Bro Media - BANNED FOR LIFE]

how about getting something cheap? save the money....

[Jarmusch]

Car #1 has a hardtop, so it's as good as car #2 as far as bad weather is concerned.

But car #1 only has two seats and as always been considered a bit of a girly car that only chicks drive.

You can either, go for car #2 or for whichever car leaves you with the most spare money to buy cool rims, because the rims on those two cars are boring as fuck!

About spending that much money, I say go for it, you're young and got your whole life ahead of you to make rivers of money, so yeah fuck it.

True but... its a mercedes!

[polish_aristocrat]

how much money you want / can spend /need for it?

[spideriux]

I'll buy 2nd one

[polish_aristocrat]

funny thing - few months ago you don't think buying an old Ford would make sense and now you ford a Mercedes

funny how it changes

[Ross]

Cars are my weak spot. I'd spend everything I had on my dream car and wouldn't care less. I could be homeless but as long as I had a nice ride I wouldn't care.

My next car is a BMW Z4. Picking it up when I get back my vacation. After that going for a Porsche

Buying a car that will clear your bank account is one of the absolute dumbest financial moves anyone can make in their entire life.

When I live with my parents??


and have nothing else to spend it on? I have the money, i have no hobbies, i dont want to buy any more websites etc etc.

[ServerGenius]

car number 1 is a girly merc. Car number 2 is a Dutch / German Taxi. I wouldn't
buy neither of them.

Getting a mercedes will get you chicks until they find out you are living with your parents

[HighSociety]

you do not know how to drive?
If mom is paying for it or gave you the money then buy it,
looks like 50/50

Yes even if you live with your parents. It's a pure liability, the insurance will be sky high, you got petrol, tax, mot and servicing to factor in too.

Take that money and put a deposit down on a house, put tenants in and go off to uni. In 4 years time you'll be leaving uni with a house that someone's been paying off for you and has enough equity in it too buy you a a brand new mercedes

[donnie]

Here is my advice to you and you can thank me later.

Do not buy any of those two cars. The first one is a hairdresser?s car (and I mean male hairdresser?s car). It is like buying Miata.

The second one is a bit better IF you buy a 320. 320 is a bit bigger and looks nicer than 200-230 but still it?s not a car I would buy right now. I was thinking about it when that model first came out but you can buy a nicer car for that kind of money.

[ServerGenius]

living with your parents? No drivers license yet? I correct my previous advice car number 1 has your name all over it gurl!

[BucksMania]

go for it and have fun
life is about fun.....well at least at that age

p.s.
car #1 is more fun
but still i would go for a BMW

[Humpy Leftnut]

If you think that you need $200k to buy a ferrari, you're delusional. You need way more money than the car costs. You pretty much answered whether you should get it or not. If you can't stop yourself, you have bigger problems on your hands.

1> you don't really need it
2> you don't know how to drive
3> you want it so you can tell a story about how cool you were to your grandkids? My grandparents used to have a CADILLAC! WOW! Kids don't care.
4> you have just enough to afford it.

Why don't you just keep making money with your money, and then buy something you can afford, when you need it?

The money that I will buy the car with is my money that I earned.

Yeh you make nice points. When I say it would clear my account out. What i mean is it would clear my account out for like a week. I would still be getting cheques which I can pay for pertol with etc. Also im not going to buy a car today as I dont even know how to drive. so say in 3 months time when I pass it wont clear out my account.

But I see what you mean. Infact very sensible thoughts

[polish_aristocrat]

to clarify - you're buying a used one, for like $10k, right?

[Scotty.T]

Have you had insurance quotes for either of them yet?

[scottybuzz]

used one yes.

$10k you must be joking right? this is the UK, not poland.

[scottybuzz]

Nope - its gonna hurt isnt it hahhahaha

[polish_aristocrat]

not joking, why?

used one can mean 2 year or 10 years old car

anyway, you didn;t answer when i asked about price

you dont have to, i dont really care anyway

good luck with whatever you do, then again i remember you're also saying you're considering quitting adult totally cause its gettign worse for you instead of getting better, so how could i expect you to have more than $10k saved ?

anyway, gl in whatever ya do

Thanks
I dont want anything Pre-2002.

I was going to quit adult because I was not happy with the lifestyle for the amount I was earning.

I would rather earn half of what I earn if I was having fun like working in a cafe or a club and sociallising.

I cant stand my social work life being gfy and other forums

Adult is definitley not a long term for me.

Very good advice. Also consider the fact that even if the car's used, by the time you get to sell it off it will have lost a significant part of its value. Add that to the cost of owning it and driving it and you'll hopefully realize that you'll be fucking yourself sore. Take pound's advice here for using the money and buy a moped for transportation. You may think people would laugh at you now, but a few years down the road you'll be the one laughing at them.

now its a tough choice for scotty....

this



or this

[kektex]

I would take that money and invest it in something else and get a cheaper car.Or a motorcycle.
You never know what happens tomorrow and if for some reason you stop getting those cheques you are going to be up shit creek.

[Sosa]

sounds like a stupid mistake if you buy either one of them

[Evil E]

If you want to be a Bromaster yo need to go with the Mercedes!

But like everyone said in this thread, this is fucking stupid. So unless you're a moran you won't do it.

You could get a decent used car for 5-10k.

[Humpy Leftnut]

Anyways, you're not really looking for advice, you know what you should do.

I would wait a few years, pissing away all your savings on a car is dumb...

[BlackCrayon]

Not long ago you were making boxes and being owned by spammers. Don't buy something that will break your bank account. Its just not worth it. Some flashy thing that will do the same job as a car you could get for 5k. It won't make you popular, it won't get you laid. It will just be very expensive to repair and maintain.

How about you give some cash to your parents? I'm sure they'll appreciate that.

Or you could get move to yr own house (rental) and buy a cheap car.

[ultimatebbwdotcom]

Buy something cheaper and keep the fatter bank account - liquidity is king, driving around in the hairdresser benz......not so much

Listen to him.

[Rui]

Ok lets see....

- You dont even have a drivers license;
- You seem to be willing to blow all your savings (at least its not more than what you have eh...) on a car but you are forgetting a few things:
- Taxes;
- maintenance (and given its a used car you may be in for a hell of a ride);
- Insurance (has to be under your parents name and even then will cost a nice penny - at least the slk);
- Gas costs (there is no SLK diesel and I doubt the CLK your checking is diesel based)
- Where are you going to be keeping any of those cars?
- What happens if you have a crash and have to pay out of your pocket the repair?

You say you live with your parents, I get the impression you live FUNDED by your parents, if thats the case why not be a man and start chipping some of the money of them you spend?

Sorry to sound pessimist, but just trying to give you a reality check mate!


Anyway goodluck with whatever you do!

Best advice you can get

Take your savings to the casino, pick black or red, and you either lose all of your money (like you would by buying one of those), or you'll have double so that you can buy that car, and have the money in the bank as if it never left

Yet a lot of men do it. I just don't understand the importance of cars to some people. This wouldn't be the first time I've heard of a webmaster emptying his bank account to buy a nice car.

This thread has a remarkable resemblance to the kak_azn ferrari thread.
