Why not use that 2-4K and invest it or save it? That way if you do get a "baller status" car in a few years, you will have money for insurance and possibly even money to help you move out of your parent's place. You do need to get your priorities straight. Living on your own with a reliable/mediocre car/truck > living with parents and having an expensive car.

Still don't understand your logic... If you make so much money, why not buy something <20k and save up money 3 or 4x quicker plus you're not stuck with a leased car? I can't even begin to understand anything you're saying, I am sorry.
You are saying I will pay 5k down and lease this car for 450 a month for 36 months which is a little over 20k which you will have nothing to show for.
Or you could buy a decent car for 15k right now and then save 450 a month for 36 months and and up with a little over 20k which will be yours to keep; plus you still have your car...
How the hell does that make sense?

I have a decent car now,But I want a new car NOW
I'm not saving 450 a month.My disposable income of 2-3k every month is not getting touch ever it's getting saved
So if my payment is $400 a month or $450 a month it don't matter bc that extra money would be pocket money.I am not tapping into that money I'm saving what so ever
So to break it down here's what's happening
Scenario A
Frs sick of
Insurance $530 on my own policy
Payment $260
Banking 2k every month
Scenario B
CLA250 new car
Insurance $175 my dad would add me to his policy
Payment $420
Banking 2k every month
What's better?
And instead if you phucking a$$holes talking **** maybe someone could help me out with leasing the CLA and helping me with a good deal instead of telling me not to lease it"The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do"

If it honestly comes down to that little of a difference, I doubt it matters.
Why not have your dad put you on his insurance for the frs? Then pocket extra 400 a month?
Not meaning to talk ****, just don't understand why you would want a lease payment when you could easily pay off a cheaper car within a year and have pure savings after that?
Either way good luck, I like the looks of the CLA 250.

OP, people have tried to talk some sense into you. You created this thread to hear people agree with you and not tell you what you needed to hear.
There is .000000001% of the population that should afford a luxury car at your age, regardless if it's a lease, and you aren't one of them...But if you listen real close, you can hear them whisper their legacy to you. Go on, lean in. Listen, you hear it? - - Carpe - - hear it? - - Carpe, carpe Landīca, seize IT boys, make your lives extraordinary.

That's way too expensive. We're leasing an E350 with AMG package for 450/mo 4k down. My friend is leasing a fully loaded G37x for $290/mo nothing down, just first month and DMV fees. Find out what people are paying for it, and don't let the dealer rip you off. When I went in to lease my 2013 Accord, they started at 300/mo and 2k down. I'm paying 250/mo with nothing down except first month and DMV (~$600 altogether). They're gonna tell you a sky high price that they pull out of their ass to see if you're dumb enough to go for it. Tell them the price you want as long as it's within reason and don't budge.

Why you won’t find great value or driving fun with the Mercedes-Benz CLA250
“Overpriced for what you get” is one comment in our CLA250 tester’s logbook that seems to sum up this entry-level Mercedes. “It’s a really nice Civic,” said another. “If this were my first M-B, I may not get another,” said one driver. Other staff pointed out that despite the car’s high style, there is little content here for the money.
So what went wrong?
When you have $36,000 to spend on a stylish and sporty car, you expect to get some decent metal for your moolah. The problem with the CLA is that you’re not likely to get one near the tempting $30,000 base price, since features such as heated seats, automatic climate control, and iPod control cost extra. And a backup camera—which this long-slung coupelike looker desperately needs—only comes with a $2,370 multimedia package.
Dynamically, the CLA falls on its face with an uncomfortable ride, uninspired drivetrain, and poor visibility. While the styling drew a fair amount of admiring glances and its 28 mpg overall fuel economy is commendable, the overall package fails to ignite any passion at our track.
This was a car that was supposed to be Mercedes' savior to bring less-affluent buyers into the fold. Our testers think those shoppers could do better elsewhere.
Consider this scenario: You have about $35,000 and want a car that’s good looking and fun—if not at least pleasant—to drive. How do our experts weigh in on the CLA and what would they buy? Take a look at what they’d park in their driveway.

Didn't read thread, but came back in here to say that the CLA is a poverty mercedes of peace.
To add onto this, Luxury car makers are starting to target younger people. It's all about brand name now. BMW has the 2 series, Audi as the A3, and MB has the CLA. These are cheap ass cars designed to appeal to 18-24 year olds who want to drive a car with a luxury badge.Attract toxic girls but I'm not toxic crew
