Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Okay Peeps.. your opinions matter in this thread... I bought an used 07 Fusion (in great condition +/- a few stains from the previous owner) last September.. I pay a fairly high price a month because I didn'tt have a credit history (i'm a college student)... but I do now since we bought and paid off furniture which was in my name after the car purchase So should I make the switch over to a leased [new] vehicle or should i just continue paying for the car I have i want this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wonder Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Leasing a car is one of the stupidest investments. Suze Orman talks about this all the time. You're basically paying for nothing, and the dealer will put a bunch of restrictions on you since you'll eventually be giving the car back. The smartest thing to do in car buying is to pay cash for a car so that you don't have to worry about a car note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just save your money and pay cash for a car. It's one less expense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Thats what I did when I was an undergrad. Took me two refund checks to do it. I was fortunate enough to have my mom buy me a car. She doesn't have to worry about car notes besides her. no downpayment... i financed it... i needed a car to get to and from work.. cuz Game doesn't do Cleveland public trans i like nice things.. and nice cars don't come in a petty cash payment I hate when ppl pretentiously refer to themselves in the third person. And you can get a nice car for like $3 or $4k. I have a luxury car and it only costs me $2.5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Buy. I never understood why people lease. Luckily for me though, my car was bought as a present. But if it wasn't, I had enough money saved to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any later and I'm paying to maintain the parts in it Ford is a fine AMERICAN car I love my Ford I'd take a late 90s car over anything tbh. My old Accord was a '96 and got upwards of 400 miles on a full tank. Bear in mind it only took about $35-$45 to fill up. My mom's '04 Pilot doesn't get enough get that much and takes about $50-$60 to fill up. New cars really aren't that good on gas like manufacturers make them out to be.

Kennita Jo. Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Leasing doesn't make sense to me. The smartest thing to do, especially in a working college student's position (depending on how many hours you work), is to save up a hefty sum of money and use it as a down-payment on a new car. That way you have a new car, small payments, and are building your credit simultaneously. I've been gearing up for a while to do this myself, I'll have a new car by the end of the year.

And bish 10 mins, you might as well walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeJoe Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Ford's suck ass! I'm leasing a car right now and my payment is almost $400 a month.
