<prompt> Human: Hi,Id really appreciate some advice on buying a new car. Ive made hasty decisions in the past and dont want to mess this one up.The car I have in mind is 26,500. My options are1. Use my savings to buy the car outright. Leaving me with zero savings.2. Lease the car, 2500 down paymrnt , then 350 a month.3. Auto loan at 7My gut tells me loan is the worst option.Any help is most appreciated. The 350 a month plus insurance is within budget in terms of out goings. My reluctance to use my savings is because my savings are a buffer in case I get fired etc.Advice is very appreciated.Snake  <response>: Id probably mix a loan and buying the car outright. pay 16k on the car, and loan the other 10.5k for reasonable payments, while still keeping some savings. Additionally, your loan interest rate might be lower if you make a large down payment.
