<prompt> Human: Hey guys, Im 19 and want to get a car of my own soon. I currently work as a barista making around 16hour during school and summer, but during the summer I have a lawn mowing business where I can make upwards of 35hour. I currently have a old 1997 beater Ford F-250 which I use solely for lawn mowing. It was 3500 and Ive already made my money back. I do not use it as a personal vehicle, for personal use I use my parents car when they are not. But I dont want to rely on them and I would like a real car of my own. The car I want is a Mercedes GLK which is around 15-20k. I wanted to purchase a new truck for my business Just as a quality of life improvement and was looking for trucks which I could use for business purposes, but also are nice enough to use as a personal vehicle. My truck budget is around 6000-8000. I can expect to generate about 1300month revenue from the truck during the summer, all profit except for gas. Keep in mind lawn mowing is a side hustle which I spend about 1-2 days per week on, and work alone. I make around 2000month as a barista during summer, and 1000month during school. I dont mow lawns during school. I estimate my total income for the year would be around 25k business and barista. I have no expenses besides stuff for fun as I still live with my parents.But then I realized, the nice car I want Mercedes GLK 15-20k can tow a trailer, so instead of buying a business truck which is around 7k and a personal vehicle which would be another 7k, why dont I just buy this nice car which will also pay for itself during the summer? So yes its an expensive car but I can hook a trailer up to it and tow my lawn mowing equiptment. I can also sell my current truck for 3k. Is this a logical plan or am I missing something?Assistant: Google Mercedes cost of ownership. Towing your landscaping shit with your sick GLK will only make your cost of ownership increase. You cannot afford the car, run the truck into the ground.Human: Ok maybe not with the Mercedes, but would this plan work with a for example 14k truck? A truck nice enough for a personal vehicle while still being a utility vehicle?  <response>: Cars arent worth spending everything you have on them. They arent an investment they are an expense.
