  1. It depends. If you are completely sure you will live in the same city, is okay to own a car. But if you are someone who is in constant change of resodency, is better only to rent it. Also if purchasing a car via a Loan equals a significant ammount of your salary, don't do it. Cause you will struggle but still be stuck with a huge debt.

  2. My 2007 Lexus has 150k miles on it and it’s still running strong. Although, if I were to buy a brand new car, I’d lease it. I used to sell cars, and leasing makes more sense a lot of the time.

  3. LEASING = THE COST OF CAPITAL (w/cars value after lease factored in).

    Thats basically the concept of leasing.So only lease if you dont drive much & u only want cars for 2yr-3yrs max. My dad taught me that long ago. Its that simple.

  4. why do people act like cars don’t last past 5-8 years. Like wtf as long as you keep up with even just basic maintenance and don’t drive more than 40k miles a year cars last 20 years easy. I drive a 2002 Buick lesabre as my daily and it has 125,000 miles and my 2005 Chrysler 300c with the 5.7 hemi and it has 96,000 miles. My car before that was a 2006 kia rio.

  5. It depends on whether you like cars and want to get the best features, safety and convenience. You can always drive a car for 12 years, but by then, it really shows its age.

    If you just see the car as something that gets you to places, nothing else: sure, get a certified Toyota that’s 2 or 3 years old.

  6. I have a an 11-year-old Honda CRV I can go out and buy a brand new one and pay cash. But this vehicle is giving me no trouble and it's in phenomenal condition with 190,000 kilometers. It's a tool it takes me from a to b.

  7. If you never pay cash to buy a car, and you're always making a car payment anyway, why not lease? And if you don't go over the miles, it's a good deal for an average vehicle. The cost of a newer car today is ridiculous.
