<prompt> Human: I drive no more than 8,000 miles per year, but need to by a car as basic transportation. I expect to spend up to around 20,000. I would appreciate opinions regarding if I should buy or lease a new car, or buy a used car. Arguments for leasing are that I can get a new car every three years without worrying about resale, and I still have the option to buy at the end. Arguments for new vs used are similar, in that the discount for used isnt that great. What do you suggest? Thanks in advance.  <response>: This sub sucks for buyingpicking a car because everyone is no fun. As an automotive engineer you guys are all boring. But for some people a car is just to get from point A to B.Leasing: Read this, Pretty good little website with deals, but also to help you understand what a lease really is.
