<prompt> Human: Hello rpersonalfiance :I own a 2005 mustang which I purchased in 2009 for 11.5k. That car has 120k miles on it. Currently it needs maintenance worth 1000. If I sell the car today, I can get about 2500. So basically I spent about 100 a month on that car. Now I am getting a Chevy Volt LEASE for 70 a month. If I go for it, it will be the first time in my life that Ill be leasing. Usually I believe in buying a car and then using it until its wheels fall off, but with a baby I need something more reliable. Do you think I should go for a lease or go for a loan and buy a corolla for 22k? Or spend 1k on Mustang and continue using it even though it may need more maintenance in near future and has reliability issues? Please help. I am very much confused. The online lease vs. buy calculators are telling me I should continue with the mustang, but I am worried about the safety. Thanks.Assistant: it REALLY REALLY depends on how much you drive, and how much you value having a brand new car ever 2-3 years.if you put a lot of mileage on your car for work and play, definitely do not lease, you will get absolutely murdered on over milage charges.if you dont use your car that often but like having a new car or a fancier car than you could otherwise afford to buy or want to drive something that doesnt hold its value over the lease term, it makes sense to lease.basically if youre driving more than 250-300mi a week id stay away from leasingHuman: I currently drive about 55 miles a day.  <response>: 55 miles sounds a lot for a lease. Thats over 20k a year.
