I am hoping to buy a 2008 mercedes c300 in about a year or so. Right now I have $5000 in the bank. I am hoping that if I save about $6000-7000 more in the next year and trade in my current car in a year for about $5000 that I'll have about $16000-$17000 as a down payment and I can finance the rest. What is a good investment to throw this $5000 into now that I can withdraw in a year without significant penalties and would provide the best appreciation to risk ratio?
“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.
What's a good short-term investment for me?

no offense, but unless you're making 200k a year, your dumb to be buying such an expensive car.
invest your money and make 6k a year in interest.
get your savings up to 200k, and then use the 20k a year in interest to lease the car of your dreams if you want.
your financial goal should be to get enough money banked that the interest you are making is like having a second job (or as i like to say, its like havig a slave who goes to work for you every day, asks for nothing in return, and gives you all the money they make).

These rules trigger a woman's subconscious attraction switches. And you can start using them tonight.
Forget about the C class benz, they look too much like a poor mans mercedes (although the 08's have imrpoved greatly)..
Unless you have the change for top of line forget about it. C class is Gay.
I'm talking CL or S class.
Friend of mine has the CLS, It drives like a monster, its a beast, you push the gas and you go. Amazing, but its also like 80K.
Don't really care for the look of it though.
Anyway, if you want entry level luxury go for the BMW 3 series, or maybe get a Saab 9-3.

Investments, generally, arn't "short term". Hence the connotations of "investing".
You might try an aggressive mutual fund, but you'd be lucky to make money off it.
Remember, if investing was that easy, we'd all be doing it.

We get it, you study finance. Just keep it simple. As follows:
Tip: TRE.TO (toronto exchange). When, why, where ? do your own research, and watch it pop to $30. Hedge funds loading up.

I would take a look at the redesigned 2009 Audi A4

I have an A4 Quattro Convertible that is 6 months old and it is a good car.

Ken.... that's expensive. People that don't think 30-35K dollar automobiles are expensive are either very wealthy (think over 200K/year consistent income) OR have a distorted view of money (and likely near 0 or negative net worth).Ken785 said:
My auto cost me 16,700 new (that I bought last year); and I paid cash.
No offense, but it really depends on where you live. If you're living where I am (in Southern California) a 16K car NEW is kind of a piece of crap. There are BMW 3-series cars, MBs, Audis everywhere. I am going to need to replace my current car in the next two years anyways. Either I get another crappy car and keep it for several more years or I start to live with a mild degree of luxury and start enjoying life. That's what it comes down to for me.
