<prompt> Human: So Im in an odd position; I have a job in the US with a visa that lasts until 2020. The visa CAN be renewed indefinitely, which Im going to try and do.I need a car. Since my visa could NOT be renewed, financing a car doesnt make a lot of sense to me. Leasing seems doable, especially with most of them being a 2 year contract. Are there any other options for me? I dont really want to drop 10k on buying a beater just to sell it in two years. All criticism and advice is welcome!!  <response>: Buy a reliable car for 5-10k and sell it for 4-8k in 3 years, if necessary, is an option. Lease prolly runs you 10k over that time, right? 10.8k would be 300mo for 3 years, and that may not include the extra cost to insure new vs. the older car.Wonder too if owning property might positively impact the result of your visa in 2020.
