<prompt> Human: As the title says...my thought is that I enjoy having a new affordable car that nobody has owned before me. I lease it for 3 years and if I truly love the car I have the option to buy it. It is 3 years old then and I am given the true market value for it, and can offer the dealership a lower price since most of the warranties are going to expire.If I dont imagine myself buying it after the lease is up, I can find something else. I know for the time I have it that its under warranty if anything goes wrong too.Also since I am paying the residual value of the car I can use the extra money Im saving for anything else I want.Assistant: Financially, changing cars every three years is not a smart idea. However, if youre gonna do it anyway, its no worse than buying and trading it in for something new. Your best financial decision is to buy a car, and then hold onto it as long as possible. Human: Right I agree. Buying and holding is smart, but I dont want to be stuck in a vehicle that I dont like or dont know how previous owner took care of it.  <response>: Then buy or lease a new car. Just do so knowing that you are paying more for that peace of mind.
