i promiss this will be my last car buying thread!!!

you do realize you’re going to pay 2000 down, AND ALSO:

taxes on said vehicle, probably between 1200-1600, registration, and whatever other stupid fees they decide to tack on. don’t be surprised if that 2000 down turns into 4000 after everything.

edit:
working with some numbers from subaru’s website:

LEASE:
18,295 for the car, only stock options.
1295 down
1561 tax
150 title, reg, misc fees
3006 down, $169/mo * 48 mo = $11,118 over four years, and you give it back.

Buy a used car.
