I brought a 06 Volkswagen straight cash last year and regret it. I’ve been fixing so much s*** on it and my check engine light just came on AGAIN I know how to fix a lot of it myself but I can’t keep sinking money into it
Soon as my money right ima finance somethin new ya boy got that good credit too
Lease is the way to go, you can finesse the system like crazy
Drive 80k miles in 3 years and trade that b**** in with one payment left, you only gotta pay your one payment
We don't lease; we buy the whole car, as you should
hov probably wouldnt do that now
Agree with all of this except the new car bit your asset will depreciate instantly which is why I’d never advise buying a new car under any circumstances unless you’re just ridiculously wealthy
Toyota's the only cars that keep 50% of their value, so that's the only new car I would actually buy.
Only broke people think debt is bad.
Can literally be used to your advantage
No that's easier said than done. Debt is neutral. It can go easily good or bad both ways if you have a severe accident or an emergency.

to sum extent
For me it’s the security. After growing and my parents having older cars that would break down and leave stranded, I’d rather a new car.
Sure your not promised a reliable new car but if something goes wrong your covered with warranties, if it’s a lease then you just get another car etc.
But it's about the same cost in paying out of pocket vs paying those high ass payments over a few years.
Why y'all buying y'all cars with cash? Genuinely curious. I thought leasing was the way to go, because cars depreciate in value
You only live once and I ain’t driving a 2005 ford focus. I’m financing
That's why you buy the used focus for work, and lease the nice one for the weekend b****es

We buying used cheap cars cash to drive to work. Leasing a second car for a backup.

If you smart and give a down payment with good credit while financing then the payment isn’t high. People show to the dealer with no credit and no down payment, that’s why they get a $500 monthly payment. Or they try to live above there means.
Finance used cars, pay it off, take care of it, then drive it until the expenses aren’t worth it.
Most people will tell you to buy, but you realise most of them bought used cars that they have to fix something on every 5-6 months
If you have money saved up, put a down payment and Finance. This is probably the best option cause you buy a decent car that you may be able to pay off within 4-5 years, or even less
Lease is cool, if you want a brand new car that you don't really think u'll need in 3-4 years and u ok with the monthly fee

hmmm that makes sense. I got dealt with a brand new truck passed down from me with $400 payments
Like got damn no down payment or anything?
