Ok, so anybody who has done this, or works at a dealership or something, let me know.
I have horrible luck with cars and my car died last week - totally done for.
So I am looking to buy/lease a car.
I have been looking at some Mazda 6, Acura TL, etc... used - between like 15-25 K.
I do have a few friends who are saying I should look into leasing a car - mainly so I don't have to worry about repairs.
Any advice from anyone?
Is leasing a bad idea or smart?
I look at leasing a car for 300-400 a month and 3 years from now I've spent 15K to have a car, but nothing to show?
Is this the wrong way to look at this?
However, if I buy a car for 15-20 K, pay it off in 4 years, I have a car, even though 4 years from now it'll be worth a bit less, and if it breaks I'm screwed.....
Any advice very helpful for a 23 year old who has never done this. Thanks
