Buying a nice car for his mother isn't wasting money. It is an unselfish gift and I suspect she deserves it. If he was spending money on drugs, clubs, hangers-on, women, expensive cars/ clothes for himself, that would be a different matter.
That his first big expenditure is for his mother is something he is to be credited for, not criticized . Lot's of jelly in here...

you can buy a "nice car" for half the price of that Mercedes - that's what I'm saying.

No one's saying mom doesn't deserve a nice car. It's just that White could've bought a loaded Toyota (which is actually a higher quality car than MB) for half the price.

Now this purchase, by itself, isn't an issue. I'm just hoping White doesn't fall into the trap of over-the-top spending. He seems very grounded and humble so I'm bet he'll be fine, but there's nothing wrong with raising this issue, because it happens far too often with NFL players.
