Any tips? 1. I'll probably be tired of car in 48-60 months. 2. If i decide to trade it in earlier on new model, which will take the least haircut? 3. Payments - lease seems to win here. 4. Down - lease seems to win here. 5. I put 2000 miles on my old vw in the last 8 months. Help me out here. I wonder if a 650 score will qualify for a lease??? Would only consider 48month lease or 60 month finance ($3500 cash down).
BUY! You are going to pay for a car you will never own if you lease and if you decide to buy the car after the lease expires not only would you have financed it for the past 2 or 3 years, but now you are gonna need a loan to purchase it. Personally I would never lease a car. You can always get a loan for 36-48 months, and like George said ( I think thats who it was) Ford is having a 0.0% financing on purchases. Kellie
my credit is dented, no 0% financing. What if i dont want the car after 4 years, which will be the bigger haircut? leasing? buying w/depreciation?
here's a good site http://www.carbuyingtips.com/referrals.htm It tries to educate you enough about buying a car so that you won't get ripped off lol. and toyota is also having a O%down.
