I hope you're joking. This thread may go down the path again of spoiled brats that can not value a dollar.

No way in hell I'd buy my kid an S 550 - hell not even a C 230 sports coupe! You want a nice car, go earn it. Period.

Oh boy...here we go...better get the beer and popcorn ready guys and watch the flame show...

IMHO, there is no way I'd buy my child a luxury car like an S-class, can't learn to drive properly and no way they'd appreciate the value of the object.

Nothing like an E30 318is to start and take them on the track the first opportunity to gain a quick understanding of the physics of driving.

If you're going to brag...at least say you're 40...and not 18. That way people will hate you just because of your bragging, and not because you're a spoiled 18 year old.

I thought I was cool and spoiled when I got my W140 just before I turned 19 this Januray. But a brand new S class congrats.

i feel pathetic for people showing off parent's cars.... especially in the age of 16 - 22... everyone knows it's the parent's cars.. so obvious.... what's the point? For me, u should be doing a lot other things instead of discussing about luxury cars in forums like this.... it's a complete waste of youth...

My god, I may only be 19, but atleast I bought my car with my own money. Kids who get cars even a fourth as decent as ANY S-class will never appreciate the car or money. It's sad..

See you are full of bull****. I have had a summer job working minimum wage since I was 15, I've busted my *** for years earning my own money. I went to a school where most drove BMW and MB, these people were some of the most money and value aware people I have ever met. Its an education thing that you get from upbringing, it's exhibited by both rich and poor. To make some blanket statment about all people who have recived a particular class of car from their Mum and Dad is wrong.

by the way, why not buying a porsche, SL or anything liek that... if u want 4 door, u still got a lot of good choices.. e.g. bentley flying spur etc...

a 15 year old driving s class is absolutely a joke...

Hmmm. Maybe he doesn't want a Porsche or an SL? Why are you telling him what to drive? Nobody cares about your opinoin. Not everybody has the same mindset as you
