<prompt> Human: Hi! I am debating on whether to lease a car for 36 months or buy it in cash. I am interested in a new car worth around 35-40K. I would be able to lease it right away but in order to pay for it Ill have to wait a few more months. I should mention that I dont commute and my yearly mileage is under 10K. I also want to be able to upgrade my car every 3-4 years to a newer model. What do you think? Is leasing a good deal? Assistant: Leasing is never a good deal.There is zero reason to buy a car brand new. Buy an off lease version a few years old for a fraction of the cost. Drive forever. Spend extra money on stuff that actually matters, not a depreciating asset. Human: Thank you for the advice but I already said that i want a new car.  <response>: Then rwhatcarshouldibuy is the place to go. This is a personal finance forum and buying a new car is a poor personal finance choice and leasing even worse. No one here is going to suggest it.
