I am much older than you guys 35. To loan a car, you need Full coverage otherwise no company will loan the money. So full coverage I am sure more than $150 per month. I was trying to say his minimum cost to keep the car is $1400 per month and that's close to my house mortgage.

My family has been blessed with a multi national company and I will always have work offered to me. I am very thankful for that. So getting a job is not a problem. I make about 20 bucks an hour right now and it is good money.

Hey it's your money or your families go buy what you want and then come back and let all of us revel in your new purchase. You seem to be following your own drum beat so do what makes you happy.

Thats great to see that your family is doing well and successful. But i'm sure they dont want to see their hard work spent on your must have AMG car and the maintenance costs and mod costs that go with it.

Figure in 2 yrs or so, you will be done with school and can get a used TT CLS or E that just came out now.

Heck i didnt get my first benz til 2008, @ 36yo. I could have easily gotten one back in 2002, just as i could have gotten the Z06 for a great price with GM supplier discount that i had. Could have turned around and flipped it and made easy $$$. But instead i used that $$ to put down on my second townhouse that is being rented out.

If its a MUST HAVE AMG for you, then do so. But thinking $30-40k is cheap for what was originall $90k for E55 to $180k CL65, maintenance just the same as if you paid original price. Repair costs doesnt depreciate like the value of the carsa

I'm just gonna save my money. Maybe investing is the better route than spending right now. My dad said he will never buy me a car ever again so I guess saving up is the right way to go. I can live with my 92 Accord slammed on Rotas! 234,000miles FTW. For now.

I have not read any of the comments, but I have a feeling you are going to get crucified for compiling this thread.

Get that flame suit quickly, and throw it on homey!

Why dont you just drive your 2012 CLS550 you have listed in your sig!

Considering your family has this big company your father probably has learned a thing or two about spending money wisely. He's probably spent some money on things that were a want more then a need. We all want some cool toys, you have to be somewhat realistic here though. Your family has a multi-national company, your just riding the coat tails for now. Stop trying to stick your neck out where they have there's. Nice things come with time, well except in your case you had a damn nice car in your early 20's. You blew the damn thing up though and wanted someone else to pay to fix it. Seems your fathers trying to teach you a lesson here and your not picking up on things. Fix your E55, learn to do some work on it and roll up your sleeves. Your father will respect that much more then you asking for thousands of his hard earned dollars on yet another car for you when he already bought you a pretty amazing car.

Start learning how to work on cars on your own and you will open many new doors to cars you otherwise couldn't afford if you had to pay for maintenance at a dealer all the time. Crawl under that hood and learn something and get it running again one way or another (without your parents paying for it). This reminds me of that old you can catch a fish for someone, or you can teach them to fish yadda yadda....

Oh, and I'd also like to add...

I still can not believe that you would rather spend $40g on a car then fix the one you have for wayyy less then that, it almost seems as if you blew up your car on purpose cause you got tired of it wanted something new and the plan bit you in the a$$ cause your dad wont buy you a new one now.

I am just baffeled by your decision making? You could not stomach the thought of spending maybe $10k to replace the motor on your E55, but now you want to spend 2.5x more than the cost of your engine repair (plus the $15k or so you might get for your car) to buy an even bigger money pit?
You are making $20 an hour which is @$40k per year. How about maxing out your 401(k), Roth IRA, saving 20% down for a house, and putting away a years worth of emergency funds first and THEN think about a nice car? I doubt this will work for you because it does not fit into the instant gratification plan though? I hope your parents estate planning includes some "spendthrift" provisions in their trust documents.

Sorry Johncy...but I think this is a VERY VERY bad decision...and I don't pride myself as being the best at making decision. That's how bad of a decision this is.

It hurt you badly to blow up your 55K and you want a 65 which is a BILLION times worse? Plus, it has ABC which is stupid expensive to fix and a million other things that will go bad.

Not good my friend...not good.

Honestly guys, I'm really starting to think that he was never truly interested in a CL65 and knew there was no way he'd be able to acquire one. I'm sure he wants one, kinda like I want a Zonda, but it'll never happen. Methinks he was just looking for attention by starting this thread, which would fall right in line with your typical over-privileged 20 year old's behavior.

Don't feed him.

Buy my car

30k with everything and the only reason Im selling is I just put an offer on a home and need 80k for the down payment.

Benz-O-Rama

2 hours to count 60k? Was it rolled in quarters?


You Ninja edited me, you sneaky *******. Lol...

mileage? pics? very intersted

Repairs aren't bad on the 65 if you can do some things yourself. ABC can be expensive, but if you keep it serviced (fluid checked regularly, and filters changed) it can go for sometime and be trouble free. Main components that go bad are going to be the pump and valve blocks, which are available reman and should help with the cost. I know of two 65's that have gone problem free and only with routine oil changes cross the 100k mile mark and are running like new.

I would advise learning some mechanic skills and purchasing Star diag before stepping up to the 65.

Oh and I was also hoping for more of a comedic response from Marcus

Johncy2000

Wow the quality of peoples' post these days really have gone under. I can see why many people don't even go on this website anymore. Flamers keep flamin'. haters keep hatin'. I don't give a **it about what people say. I have learned so much from other peoples' experiences on this forum, but nowadays people just like to bash. It's not the way it used to be here on the forum.

930chas

What you need to do is man the **** up and fix the car that you blew up. Show some respect to your father by fixing what he gave you.

FASN8N

I hope you did not take my post as a "bash", but as a reality check. Why levarage your life and live on the edge without a safety net? You saw how it ended with the E55, do you think it will be any different with a more expensive car?
