First things first if what you say is true, you need to go gun shopping. 19 rolling like that you're looking to get your head cracked.

From leasecompare.com

Let's say you have a 600 credit score (At 19 years old, that is very good), drive 15,000 miles a year, with $6,500 down...

To Lease a BASE SL65 for 39 Months with NO Options: $5,000+ a month factoring in Sales Tax, Registration, Licensing, Luxury Tax, Etc..

Now, please tell me how you got this number down to $1,400?

not to go with the others.. but..

---------

and the 1400 is before taxes, still a deal for 36 months.......

My sigs? username? I'm sorry you wouldnt understand unless your family came here with like 200 bucks in their pocket and lived on wellfare for 4 years......

and then you can afford an sl65.....

just me though, and I know 16 year-olds with better cars so please I'm nothing special....

seattlecarfreak-I know exactly what you're talking about with the whole friend thing but alot of my friends are living it up better then me......

I'm dating someone already so I dont need the car to pull hoes, lol

If I would get one i'd go for an 06' and youl spend 130-160K and thats used but like new exotic money...

I mean sure it would blow those cars away in a race but to be honest, I'm more of a young and flashy guy, so for me the look>the performance to a certain extent...

Also, I took a 05' 65 for a test drive today and wanted to ask if its any differnt from the 06-07......forgot to ask the dealer, the ride was too nice

all opinions and welcome and appreciated

Why don't you get a job as a valet parking guy in 90210 and see which one you like.

Damn, I thought I was the cat's meow at 16 with a CLK. Lol, 19 with a range and sl65 is pretty cool.

i tried to break my CLK500 lease and get into an '06 CLS55. I was quoted at 8500 down and 1500 a month. If I wanted to break my lease, I had to add 300 a month to that. At 1400 a month, that is the deal of the century.

And not to hate or sound jealous, but its just the way you sound being all "gangsta" and everything. Owning clubs, ridin with "hoes," your name and sig, and the disrespect for parents that makes you sound like a er. Are you really a millionaire (1mil+) or would an sl65 actually hurt your pocket? Me at 18 years old could probably afford a sl65 lease, but it would be a retarded move and id jeapordize my future financial security. I wish I could lease up an F430 and not worry about it.

I can't speak for anyone else but I don't know of ANY 16 year old who have "better cars" than a SL65 or Gallardo.

If you don't need a car to pull "hoes" why are you even looking to put your hard earned money into a depreciating asset? I am sure you can better utilize the funds toward another club or business.

The majority of this board myself included would agree that perfromance cars are indeed fun.

I was just suggesting that Teen millionaire better utilize his enormous wealth by opening up a 3rd or 4th business in Brooklyn. He's already a partner in a night club and owns 2 businesses in that area...why stop now?

That is the best quote ever. 100k combined after taxes. Maybe mom/dad will be taking the bus so jr. can roll a high end car. I call

We all dream big when we are young and most of us do it while attending school or start working early to really make it and understand what it takes to make your moeny work for you and add wealth.

Since you came in with such an attitude (and disrespect for your parents)... not to mention, horrible spelling.... did you expect a different response from the others?

Usually, when a person creates doubts in the forums, they are able to post a credible response and/or car pics.

Those who are posers usually start getting angry and calling everyone haters.

Think about that for a second, then take your pick, and post an intelligent response. It's as simple as that.

Business "or two", still trying to decide how deep to dig that hole of deceit eh?

I'm surprised people are still giving this kid suggestions.

Oh well, off to the Bugatti dealership. I ordered one in every color of the spectrum, but they keep losing the infra-red one.

Being a teenagemillionaire is common and plain-jane. Being a teenage college graduate from a top university is a little harder to do.

With a "fantasy" lease like $1400 a month, get the "fantasy" SL65.

Thread locking time.

Let's be honest, ever since notckts, you don't know who is BS'ing who on this forum or any luxury auto forum. Simple fact is, you didn't find a 65 for anywhere near those numbers. If you really were serious about choosing about the three cars, you would test drive them instead of asking on a message board where probably only a very small percentage have driven one of those cars...let alone three. The only thing that annoys me more than a hater is someone who claims to have something but doesn't.

Aren't Brooklyn clubs ghetto anyways? If you had said Manhattan, it might have been a little more believable. Take a cue from what happened to your American friend in Moscow....don't floss like you are big, especially in Brooklyn. Think they pulled your friend out of his car fast....

To be honest though, it's interesting as all the posts have complied with the TOU in all respects. I think it'd only be fair to keep it open to let youngmoney re-establish his credibility.

19 and owns a peice of a club? Don't you have to be 21 to even GET INTO a club? How do you run a club successfully without even going inside the place?

But let's say this kid does have money. At age 19, I bet you its all cash and in no form of an investment. With his said desires, he'll blow through whatever he has in no time and be in debt up to his ears trying to chase the lifestyle he had. Then he'll have a little more respect for mommy daddy's combined income, as he'll have to leech of fof them.

I've seen people blow through lottery money (10's of millions) in a matter of years and end up in debt. A fool and his money are soon to part.
