Joel, you are one logical dude. Get a beater honda, its what every college kid does. If you just want a new car then whatever, but saying its cheaper to lease a new car is nutso. Bought my f150 in 98 with 38k miles for 8500 bucks from a dealer in ohio, about to sell it to a guy from out of state for 8050 next week. Truck has 74k miles, and I paid 5.9 percent interest on the loan. It cost me pretty much nothing to own the truck and i drove the truck for two years. I’ll get a 4 banger ranger at auction soon and do the same thing in two years. 12k miles is nothing dude. My buddy has a new f150 on a lease, and he’s like nah i can’t take on vacation, i gotta watch my miles. Thats bullshit. Get with a credit union and get a cheap newer car on autotrader, and you’ll do much better for yourself, and you won’t have to pay huge money when someone scratches the vehicle because its yours. > [@ghettostyleTA](#): > > reassemble the R/T > > sell the R/T > > buy a '92-'95 stick civic or something cheap, pay off whatever’s left on the R/T > > Then: > > 1. you won’t have to have full coverage insurance > > 2. you won’t have a monthly payment > > 3. 12K miles a year? i drive at Least 20K without even trying.

I know there’s a few people on here who like leasing, it’s just not something i’m all about i guess… --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/i-promiss-this-will-be-my-last-car-buying-thread/15984)._
