Is a 1999 mercedes slk 230 a good car to buy??? been saving since 7 years old?

Question

i have saved up $19,000 canadian since i can remember and i am getting my g2 in a couple months and have asked my parents if i can use the money to buy myself a nice car of my choice. everyone in my family encouraged me since iv saved all that money myself. i looked around an there arent many new fun cars u can get for that money and as a teenager im not really into having new cars i like used more as its cheaper. i looked into the porsche boxster 1999 model, bmw z4 and a 1999 mercedes benz slk230. my dad says that car is too old my friends say its not fast enough as it only has a V4 and....its for girls.

what do u guys think what chould i buy with that money im not into used hondas nissans and mitsubishi i was hoping an older but stronger brand like the slk. i like the fact taht itis a hardtop convertible.

what do you guys think.

thanks alot

Don't buy a used Mercedes-Benz.  They're expensive to maintain, especially once the warranty is up.  Plus, buying an old luxury car like a Porsche, BMW, or MB makes you look like you're trying too hard, since you really can't afford one.  And your friends are right Z4s and SLKs are primarily owned by women or guys living in Miami wearing Hawaiian shirts.

If you like the car and it is in good roadworthy condition  then get what you want otherwise you will not be happy and you will be saying you wished you had spent your $19,000 for what you wanted.  But before you buy any car, have it checked from bonnet to boot to make certain that it is in good condition -- your local mechanic should be able to do this for you (for a small fee).  He will also be able to tell you what may be wrong with it and what repairs you can look for within the near future.  Good luck and what ever car you choose have fun and be safe with it.  You don't need speed to enjoy it.  Just be safe.
