All I'm going to say is

BUY BUY BUY

I think leasing is a no win situatiion. You don't own it in the end. All those payments for nothing is the way I look at it.

I understand why people do it though. They can get a nice shiny new car and think they are getting a really good deal.

I have always bought my cars and like knowing that it is mine. I try to take really good maintenance care of it so that when it is paid off in a few years I can have it for a few more years with no payments. I love when I have no car payments!
