<prompt> Human: I got a job a few months ago and I make a little more than 30,000 a year now. I will need to get my own car eventually if I want to move out so I have been saving my money. I have about 5000 right now and I was thinking of just saving up and paying off most of the car then paying off the rest monthly, but that would destroy my savings. The other option would be to lease for around 200 a month, but those payments never stop.  <response>: Leasing is the single most expensive way to operate a vehicle. That is the reality.
