Lease is for people with no money or a ton of money, so if you're not one of those, buy a 1-2 year old used car and finance it.

Thanks

If I could just get it working enough to have something to drive around town would be great for the summer
I have a feeling all it would really need Is a battery

Body is a bit rough but it isn't rusty at all for a 15 year old car

I'll give it the old college try to get it back on the road and if not or it isn't worth it than fk it


Just put brand new breaks on it ( myself ) before it broke down ..and also replaced both tires and wheels ( used)

So not ready to give up just yet

All cash

Not srs

There are certain mortgage insurance benefits you can have if you put a certain amount down on a house that can save you more money than you would spend on the interest of of financing a vehicle.

Of course you need to understand all the variables. How much is the house, how much would you need to put down to avoid the additional mortgage insurance, how much is the vehicle, length of the loan, interest rate, etc.

Once you have all that information, plug in the numbers. You don’t even have to think about it. The decision is made for you based on the numbers.


Without any of that information, I feel confident it would be more financially beneficial to save as much as you can for the house down payment and finance a vehicle. Just keep in mind the purpose of the vehicle is to have a reliable source of transportation. Extra gadgets and shiny things are fun, but no debt is more fun. That is my opinion on the matter anyway.


Edit: find out everything that is wrong with your car and determine how much it will cost to fix. I got fixated on the perceived “need” to get a new car, but that was an error.

Thanks bro.
Will take it this advice seriously if I determine my honda is trashed

Id' go with E. find out whats wrong with it, get it fixed barring it's something insane, and drive it until the wheels fall off. You throwing 5k at a used toyota is just silly. Save up more money, and put a big downpayment on a more viable longterm option.

Thanks bro I've owned that car for years so I know it pretty well

I'm gonna get a new battery for it and go from there. Either gonna be battery or alternator

If it doesn't cost something insane to fix then fk it ill do it
