<prompt> Human: Heres the deal. Ive always wanted a Mercedes SL. Now at the age of 26 and single Im in the position where I think I can afford one. My goal is 2009 SL550 for 35,000. I plan on paying 20,000 cash and 15,000 financed.Here are my financials:- 70,000year salary- 8,000 liquid cash invested into my business The money isnt being used that I could withdraw at any time- 8,000 emergency fund in savings account- 4,000 in checking account- 13,000 in investment account not retirement- 17,500 in roth 401K- 9,000 in roth IRA- 2,500 in IRA- my daily driver car worth 5,000 I dont plan on getting rid of this thoughAs for debt:- no debt except 2,500 credit card debt at 0 interest if I pay off by Dec. 2015- all monthly expenses add up to 1,700 I currently save 1,500-2,000 a monthSo my question is can I afford this car? And if I can is it the smart thing to do with my money right now? A few more things to throw into the mix are that:- I want to go back to school to get a masters degree soon. Thats going to probably cost me 80,000 unless I can find an employer that will pay for a lot of it- I dont own a home. I still rent and I dont have a place to put my dream car. I would need to either buy a house or rent a garagestorage unit somewhereWith interest rates so low right now in the US I want to jump on it before its too late.  <response>: So my question is can I afford this car?YESAnd if I can is it the smart thing to do with my money right now?ABSOLUTELY NOT
