<prompt> Human: Hello PF,Ive read some of the archives posts on leasing vs. buying, and figured I would see if the general consensus would be applicable in this situation.My wife and I live in Texas, currently renting a two bedroom apartment with plans to purchase a house within the next year. I work from home making approx. 57K before taxes, and my wife makes around 32k. We have one car currently which my wife uses mostly to commute to work about 5minutes from home. We were looking at leasing a Subaru Outback 10K miles per year. We conservatively average about 15miles per day, which puts us comfortably under the 10K miles per year.The lease payment would be around 375mo for a 2018 Outback Touring. This includes the 2500 appraisal trade in value of our current car. My question is, considering the low miles we currently drive, would this lease make sense for us? We could use the extra room in the larger car for or dogs. And, we are planning on starting a family once we move into a home. Any advice would be appreciated!  <response>: Leasing is generally a bad deal, but its an especially bad deal in Texas. You have to pay sales tax twice on leases. It really only makes sense to lease if youre a business or you are planning on buying a new car every 2-3 years.
