I can either lease or buy outright cash for a new vehicle, what I cannot decide is which is better suited for me. My wifes car is a 2005 that while it still runs like a top with 74,000 miles on it, she wants a new car and at this stage of life she deserves what ever she asks for. Im keeping the 2005, removing the collision and using it as a everyday beater.
My thoughts are that I cannot do the repairs and maintenance like ive done on the 05 with a 2021, nor do I want to anymore, so keeping a car as long as I did the last one may not be the best idea.
Still being old school train of thought, I cant get my head wrapped around the idea of a lease and a constant car payment.
Whats worked for you and why...... Thanks for any and all advice and experience
