Cars; Leasing vs Buying

[Aspen and Misty]

BUh Bye.

Civics aren't bad cars, but they are on the disposable end of the spectrum.

I'd suggest looking at a hyundai or a kia, both are cheap, reliable transportation.

lmao! I was rolling on the ground when I read this. So I have to ask because you obviously know a lot about cars. Is it worth trying to fix this car? Or should I start saving for a new one?

I would repair it enough to where it has some trade in value (As in functionally running), and find something you like. If you go with a used vehicle, have a mechanic from OUTSIDE of the dealer you're buying from go over the car. If they won't allow that, run, run far. I would also suggest getting a carfax history report on anything you buy. Key things to look at on a vehicle history are serious front or side collisions. .Unibody cars don't repair very well after those.

I told my mom to get the car we have now looked at by a mechanic before she bought. But she insisted it was fine now look what happened. LOL. I have, and I'm sure she has, learned her lessson. Thanks for all the help, I really apreciate it.

If you put a lot of miles on a car like I do, don't lease. They will charge you for any extra miles you put on the car over what they allow!
