Re: Do you lease or buy cars?

while I'm sure it's nice to have a new car every 3 years, I don't want a never ending car payment.

I buy

I lease because I enjoy driving a new car every 2 or 3 years.

Re: Do you lease or buy cars?

Buy.

I leased once & after a year of driving the car I hated it. If I wanted to get out of the lease, I would have had to satisfied the remainder of the lease, which was quite significant. The car was actually worth way less than what I owed on it at the time & it left me in a position where I was stuck with a car I hated w/out being able to trade it in or up-grade/down-grade. Buying to me is a little more flexible, even though there is still the chance of losing $. Also you can re-fi a car loan if another bank is offering lower interest.

Re: Do you lease or buy cars?

Lease. I like having a new car every few years, and it also keeps the payments lower. I honestly don't think if I bought a car I would keep it for so long that I would have no car payment- maybe for a year or two.

Re: Do you lease or buy cars?

To answer the question...we both buy. I don't care to have a new car every couple of years...not to mention the never ending payments.

me too- I like the idea of a new car with all the latest features- cars keep getting better and safer- and I get bored

I will most likely turn my SUV back in for another one- but I wouldn't want to have bought it-

Jake bought his car b/c he plans on keeping it forever- but not driving it forever- it's going to be a collectable

We like new cars every few years as well. We sell our car and buy a new one at least every 3-4 years.

Re: Do you lease or buy cars?

i lease because i like the thought of a new car every 3-4 years, but it is so stupid since i commute all of 3 miles per day to the LIRR and dont drive much on weekends. We will probably buy my car when the lease is up just because it is in such good condition and so under on miles it will make sense.

Re: Do you lease or buy cars?

I am still driving my car I've had since High school Chat Icon Mikes car payment is up in november Chat Icon and I can get a new car. Im thinking of leasing. I was so against it before but I drive 2 miles for work (my car now is 12 years old and has 85000 miles on it) So I might lease payments are lower sometimes if anything goes wrong with it I get it fixed for free (my mom has this) and I can't get a new car in 3 years
