Have what you want, but is it going to be liveried up in your companies logo's?
Is it going to be used for work as a manner of advertising or just your personal car?
If it's going to be your everyday car you'll be hammering a shedload of miles on it and it'll cost a fortune. Also, if your car is going to be liveried up with company logo on it, then I'd probably plumb for something a little more memorable. I mean A classes are nice, but I cant say I remember them.
Obviously the SMART car and Mini has been done to death, why not look at something unusual? A volvo C30 is fantastic in cream and brown (sounds odd, but click the link)

or how about the new Fiat Punto Grane Sporting, it looks stunning in Mango orange and I can tell you with near certainty how many I've seen and when. Which is a great tool for a business.
Honestly, I think you're 30 years too young for an A class.

Go for it...its the right tool for the job. I love the car so much, it has such a smart, nifty look. I've taken a virtual tour of it inside-out.
Make sure you define (ascertain) what kind of driving you'll be doing with it:
* City runs only?
* Higway runs only?
* Combo of both?
* How much comfort are you after...interior-wise?
* How much performance does your driving style need?
This is important because Merc-Benz has several different engines available for the A-Class. For instance, I'm a Hi-performance drive fan who also likes to drive fast-but-safe while being as "green" (frugal) as possible. So I would try out the A-200 Turbo with a manula transmission. But since I hope to get married someday and would like the car to be as wife-friendly as possible, I will instead settle for an auto-transmission. These are issues you want to take care of (when buying any car) so that you get a car that meets your needs and that of your pocket.
Happy motoring.

not the prettiest car on the road but an amazing first car. Your estate agency must be doing well? go for it although with this money i suggest the BMW 1-Series above the A Class Merc. How about an Audi A3 similar yet better looking and still with a classy brand

Wow, I wouldn't want to be paying your insurance.
Get something that is more suitable to your age group, I don't mean that to be nasty, but Mercs are more for the older driver. How about a convertible Audi TT, my daughter works for an estate agents and that's what she aspires to!!

A classes suck!
That's like a 45 year old woman car! Get a nice little Peugeot or a Megan convertible or something. Or if you want to look professional but still stand out what about a Saab or Audi?

if you can afford it and that's what you want i guess go for it, though personally i don't agree with buying big gas guzzling cars i have to respect it is your choice!!
if you want something good but want to be more efficient, check out LPG /gas conversion cars, cost SO much less to run...
but seriously whatever you do check out what you will pay on insurance before you buy anything like that, at your age it could be totally extortionate!!

If your a spender go for it but it would be better if you'd save and buy a car of a lower rate as it would help in the future

i think you should go for the BMW 1 series. it should be somewhere in the same price range as the A class but looks much better and has better performance than the A class........

Would an A class carry the things you need to carry - for sale signs, for instance?
