Buy the car with leasing you don't own the car. It will cost more in the long run.

go with the one you can afford.  Remember this. To drive in love can be pleasant but the drivers seat can sometimes result in disaster when you don't know enough. Good luck and much wisdom.

You can make more money or spend less money.  Maybe spending less money is a more realistic option.\n\nTrack ALL your expenses for a couple of months, see where and how you are spending your money.\nMake a budget and make some tough cuts (like canceling your cell phone or cable tv or eliminating a daily cup of coffee from Starbucks).  You'll be amazed how much you can start saving for a new car when you make a budget and stick to it.\nDon't forget, when you get a car you will have to a pay for gasoline and insurance on top of the monthly car payment.

Different ways.  Have someone co-sign your lease.  Offer a higher security deposit.  Offer a higher rent rate.  Say you'll sign a longer lease term.  Arrange a month to month agreement so you can be easily booted if you fail to pay.  Find a nice place with a 'flexible' manager.  My mother paid $35 application fee, which I'm pretty sure went into the bldg. managers pocket!

It depends on your objectives. If you like driving new cars after every few years and you prefer to have more disposable income in your pocket, yes by all means lease. On the other hand, if you like to drive a car until it quits, you might want to buy. Whichever one you choose, be sure you are doing virtually the same thing. The car is never your anyway until you pay it up and you could do that for both.

You basically pay more for the car than the selling price - the new amount financed is the price of the car plus the excess loan amount, added together into a new loan.\n\nYou should really keep a new car that is on a loan for at least 2/3 of the loan period and you won't get in this situation.  If you are paying too much interest, make about $40 more in principal payment per month and you will pay the loan off sooner and incur less interest.

As much as your ready to spend. I've seen $2000 cars go out in the first heat while a $300 dollar car wins the night. the car its self is going to be the big price factor all the other stuff that you have to have too run its just stuff you or someone you know sould have laying around. My 83 ltd cost me $800 car and parts. its a 3 demo winner.

I'm fairly sure this is a rip-off.  Do the math on the offer and see, but I think when you lease to buy, you are paying way more overall than you would if you just BOUGHT it.  I think it's for people who can't make a big payment each month.

A\nI currently don't own a car, but when I do, I plan on owning a hybrid.  I project that the cost of gas will continue to rise and once it peaks at 4 dollars it'll never drop to below 3 again.  In this day and age, it is best to buy a hybrid (plus there are tax benefits for owning a hybrid as well).\n\nB\nIn terms of using public transportation, If living in rural US it is impossible to rely solely on public transportation.  The set up of US cities prevents that.  TO rely on public transportation also cuts on city to city commuting.\n\nC\nCommuting to work is a fantastic idea, and only using a car on the weekends is great, but that is assuming that the family consists of either 1 or 2 persons and no child.  Also that grocery stores are within walking distance (or weekday meals can be planned during the weekend).\n\nI would own a vehicle, but I would buy a vehicle with intent to use it minimal and utilize public transportation.  I think you have asked so really good questions and rise really good ideas.  If there isn't a public transportation system in your area, you can always attempt to start one up.  Check out the local government (ie city council, mayor, etc)  I think location plays a key role in modes of transportation.  For example, generally cities provide adequate public transportation, while suburban sprawl causes commuting to be an individual event.

Lease - I see it two ways..., one..., you get 100% of the tax deduction if you are a business..., second..., reduced payments...., but of courses..., at the end of the term..., your buy out may cost more....

lease should have  options when it expires   you can exercise your option and get back into the factory .and the lamd lord shoud pay for your loss of income.  If you dont have options in your contract . then you shoul call the department of fair trade to get a refund.

not gonna happen.  The service  like carfax is one that dealers have had to pay for for years.  It became popular with the consumers with the advent of the internet.  Its not an expensive service, considering the price of buying a lemon so just suck it up and pay the price for the vehicle history, its worth it.

ask a realtor to help you find a month-to-month lease.  there are tons of really good agents on this website: http://www.realestateforsaleinnewyork.com\ni'd check out the "featured" agents first, but if none of them cover your area, the rest are lovely as well.  good luck ;)

I have read that it is better to buy one in 2006, but there are a maximum number of cars per make and model that will receive the credit.  Too late for me as I already bought mine.

buy buy buy  lease is basically renting the car. youll pay thousands of dollars towards a vehicle that doesnt belong to you. and then after the lease expires on alot of them they will require you to pay full retail value if you want to keep the vehicle.    if you decide to lease make sure your payments can be put towards purchase, if you want to keep the vehicle.   hope this helps

Try Auto Trader or exchange and mart. But your not going to get a reliable car for that price. Your best of saving up by getting a part time job, or full time until you go to Uni. Don't whatever you do get one on loan or even worse Yes car credit. There charges are huge, if you look at small print. I got one from them 3 years ago for £5,000. Got told it was worth £3,500. Looked at small print and it worked out that I would pay in total over £10,000. So I took it back within the 7 days
