If I was to make 180 to 200K a year do you think I would I be able to pull that off without completely embarassing yourself?

It's more of a question for your accountant or dealer...but yes, you could. Either lease it or finance it at either low payments across a long time, or big payments across a short time....

make sure you load it up fairly well, because mercedes doesnt give you a ton to start with, and the more options, the better resale value

Wouldn't this be a better question for your accountant, rather than Y!A?

Hey, I have a 2006 CLS500 it is a good call with 40,000 miles. Navigation, Cool and Heated seats, designo package. If you are interested you can email me at cbmarkoff@yahoo.com.

so youre making $30k a month and you dont know what you can afford? hell, 3 months salary would pay for it outright!
