Pros/Cons of buying new?
#12
Buying used is often the best option, especially if you live in an area where you have a good choice of used examples. And, especially if the car has been owned and driven by a mature person and garaged and has "good" miles.

Some people like to drive new car every 3-5 years. They don't like the trouble of selling it themself, and they do not know if they will get fair trade-in value at new car dealer or not.
Also, some small business can deduct the lease payment as expense.

All the cars that I ever owned were bought, I never leased any. The main reasons were, I may keep the cars for a long times, and I can mod my cars anyway I like without worrying I may get penalties when the lease expired.

you guys making fun of lease people, you should really get on the case of people who rent apts. car's depreciate and prop usually goes up.
leasing isn't great moneywise, but if ur really into getting new cars often. buying ANY expensive car isn't smart moneywise, lease or buy.
get a great car you LOVE, buy it used and take care of it.
