Confusion as to "needs" versus "wants", my dear.
If you want to lease a shiny car, try any one that suits your fancy, since you won't be responsible for log-term maintenance. And then try another one, and another one. Stay with the one you prefer. |

Bass on the OP, I think it’s anything that will scream “we’re rich”. |

| What’s leasing got to do with being rich? |

| If you know nothing about cars, you need to do some research. You have a lot to learn, and after reading your post, I have come to the conclusion that this may take a while. |

| I have always found Mercedes comfortable to be in as a passenger and a driver. If you don't know much about cars and feel like you want a "nice" car, it's a safe bet. |

Tesla or Range Rover
I’m a lowly nanny but I’ve driven many very nice cars (that belong to my employers). I am obsessed with Tesla but really enjoy Range Rovers as well. |

Don't lease a luxury car if you live in Virginia! You'll get killed in sales tax (you pay on the full amount) plus annual personal property tax (which penalizes high value cars heavily!).
We did it and could afford it, but I'd never do it again because it's just wasteful. Buy the low mileage one that just came off lease! |

| Do what my DH does - he buys Mercedes coming off three year leases with under 25,000 miles for about 60%. He makes a lot of money but hates to buy or lease something that depreciates 20% as soon as it goes off the lot. |
