<prompt> Human: I have a 2009 Kia Sportage that I got in college. I am working now and making 70K annually. I think I want to sell my car and invest the cash. I dont necessarily want lease payments but I do want a new car and I would have 10-12K to invest. What do you think? Additionally, what would you do with that money from the sale?  <response>: Leases are bad decisions financially.
