Leasing vs buying

Do NOT go into debt on it. If you happen to have 2k saved up (plus the air fare or gas money for racedoll), then consider AL's offer after talking to him and doing some research on those cars.

Also, get an idea of how much insurance and tags are going to cost you. No reason to go into it blind.

I needed a good post like this. I get all gun ho about stuff like this sometimes. Its the same way with bikes. Like, "mines fucked up, oh I can afford payments... blah blah blah." I would never buy new, such a waste of money.

Honestly, the only vehicle I was looking at was this one. Used, low miles, cheap, could talk them down even more, and..... could haul the bike.

THAT would be insurance fraud.
