<prompt> Human: Im 5k miles over my allotted mileage on my lease I know, and recently sued Ford because the 2014 focus I leased turned out to be a lemon. Now its time to turn it in, and Im planning on getting another one from Ford since I already have a good standing with them. I got divorced last year, so my credits around 650. I had previously co-signed with my exs mother. I also have a long commute 40 miles per weekday, so Im considering getting a hybrid or electric. Thoughts? Advice? Assistant: Because you have a long commute and a not-so-great experience with Ford, I might recommend that you cut your losses, write them a check for the extra mileage, and buy a used car. It sucks being stuck in a certain number of miles, dude. It also sucks ass having to have a co-signer on a loan or a lease. It sucks way less ass driving around a car thats 5-7 years old thats paid for.You can get a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic or similar from 2012 for like 10,000 or under. Save that expensive carlease payment each month in a savings account and trade up to something nice in a year or two.Human: True, although Id still have to get a loan for a used car. Right now I have 2,500 for a down payment.  <response>: But when you pay it off, youd own a car. Instead, youll make lease payments until you turn the car in, then youll have to go out and get a car again. Think about where youre at right now. Why would you want to be right here again in three years?
