<prompt> Human: Hey Reddit, long time lurker and first time poster. A 2008 Mazda 3 which has been in possession since getting my license in 2010 has begun to be riddled with mechanical issues. My parents are willing to trade in the Mazda and use that trade in value plus their money to fund a lease for the next 2 years however I will be done with my clinicals in a year, at which point I will be on my own but they will still honor that last year of the lease. I will have 0 loans when I graduate in 2017 and will actually have a little bit of money to hit the ground running. My question to you is, should I take this offer or ride out the Mazda 3 until she goes down for good. As of right now, the car has cost over 2.5k alone in the last 2 years. Im not sure if there is an obvious choice here and would love to hear any and all feedback on the matter. Thanks guys! Assistant: Are they taking the lease in your name or their name?If its a gift with no strings attached, you really just have to consider whether you are OK with it.Human: It will be in their name. It be one last gift before I head out by myself.  <response>: If youre OK with it, and theyre OK, it all works out.
