“…I know I always thought, ‘Oh, Tee, why did you buy a Mercedes-Benz? It’s so expensive, it’s so hard to maintain,’ and all those things are true.” Tee says. “You need to know the facts about cars.”
She goes on to say that her monthly payments are very similar to a luxury car, “if not cheaper.”
Tee said she knows people who spend more than $500 or $600 on Kia cars and other non-luxury cars. She claims she paid $0 as a down payment to buy the car. It is unclear whether Tee leases or rents the car. But she admits that her high credit score probably plays a role.

The video had more than 1,000 comments and more than 310,000 views as of Sunday. The comments section is full of people giving their opinions on what they think about this car note.
One user commented, “$600 for a Benz isn’t expensive.”
“Actually, $600 for a Benz is reasonable,” agreed another.
“A lease is not a deed to a car. You pay to maintain the lease because it’s your car, not yours. The deal didn’t go through, and the person who paid $5 to $600 for the car didn’t pay to maintain it for the duration of the contract. You will own a car at the end,” said another user.
“My Benz bill is also $632. Definitely leave $0,” says another.
“People pay for what they want!” said one user. “If it’s not your bill…don’t worry! Enjoy the car, sis.”
