The $15k challenge

At the risk of duplicating other threads, I thought I'd pass on a question that was asked of me this morning.

Given $15,000 to spend, what Mercedes would you buy?

Um...I would spend the 15k on as many upgrades as I can get from Kleeman or RENNtech!

BMW FTW
Can you lease a car? With 15k you could lease a brand new C class paid in full for 2 year you would just need to come up with a job to pay for the lease after your 15k pot runs out in 2 years. If not I would go with the older C class they have a timeless design. Or if you want a BMW you can get an E36 M3 which would be a fun quick car.

Good choice. If you can cough up a couple thousand more, you might be able to get a SL500.

Either that or a W124 E500 or W126 560SEC.
