<prompt> Human: Ill be working for a year in a different city before attending graduate school and I know Ill only need the car for work. Im looking for a reliable car. Factoring insurance and all costs associated with having a car, would it be cheaper to get a lease for a year and transfer it or buy and resell a 2013 car? Is it essentially a wash?  <response>: Buy a used cheap car in cash. That will be your cheapest option.
