How does someone of 21 save 2k a month? To be able to that requires a seriously impressive salary for someone who has been in the job market only about 3 years max. That's an incredible achievement that generally requires ability that is rather at odds with this sort of decision making process.

Seems like you just want the Merc badge on a low end model without a care in the world for actual car advice since you're so hell bent on actually disregarding the car advice given.

Non of this makes sense.

'saves' £2000pm, yet going to 'split' car payments with a parent for a £30k loan. Worried about EV tech in a "5 year plan" but is going to sell the car in year 3/4.

Why are you shocked that a 21 year old does not have a clear and coherent plan...

Regardless of your financial situation, clearly you are buying a car for the status and you are not actually a car enthusiast, it's the only reason I can assume you want to buy a bottom of the range Merc for 30k and a weak engine. If you want to saddle yourself with car debt at least buy something more interesting, a hot hatch would be more enjoyable or maybe even a second hand performance car but then presumably insurance costs and fuel costs are prohibitive.
 
I think it's more the banging on about how much money he has but quotes wanting cheap insurance.

It's like the people who used to spend an extra £3k to get a diesel to save £100 a year on their car tax.
 
I feel it's worth pointing out that if you borrow that amount of money over 7 years and buy a new or nearly new car you will end up in negative equity instantly and are unlikely to be able to sell the car to settle the loan within the first 4 or 5 years. It'll always be worth less than the amount you owe. If you're going to borrow a hefty chunk unsecured then it would be more sensible to do it with an older car that's done the bulk of its depreciating. Like a V8 Vantage.

Saves over £2000 per month, wants to drop £30,000 on a bottom of the line Merc, first concern mentioned in the opening post is wanting low insurance costs.

Dumb thread is dumb.

A comment on the car?

It's from Mercedes lowest range, with one of their smallest engines. It's almost the perfect example of a style over substance car aimed at people who just want a pretty car with a nice badge and don't care about cars. The fact they seemingly cost so much suggests they're also targeted at people with more money than sense.

It's probably ideal for you.

Pretty much spot on.

I agree with a lot of the others, go for a hot hatch or similar.
