You have an older car, and you spend more money on repairs than you would have on leasing a new car?

Although I have been through many good times & memories with my car, I'm really sick & tired of spending on average like $300/month on repairs. Some of you know just how much I spent on it in the last year.

I don't wanna throw my poor car away, but eventually, I'm going to have to. I just don't know where to get started on looking for a new car.

300 month what kind of car is it.

CarMax.

Whatever you do dont buy brand new. Get certified preowned. Cars lose like $6,000 in value just taking it home brand new. I made that mistake twice. Never again. As long as it has a long warranty.

Ok, well, i don't spend $300 a month exactly, but like one month, I spent $700... then a couple months later, I spent $200, then a few months later, another $300, etc...

The poor thing has like over 100,000 miles. I have taken good care of it, and it's still in ok condition, but something always seems to fall apart in my car every other month.

I'm scared to lease a new car, cuz my friends who have say they can only drive like a certain amount each year (14,000 miles/year), and if you go over that, it costs an arm & a leg. Just driving back & forth to work every day for a year probably comes out to more than that.

WTF? What if I wanna drive to like SF or Vegas?

i bought a honda crv 5 years ago brand new. i have always bought honda's, they have been good reliable cars. i have 106,000 miles on it and it still runs perfectly. i have only had the regular maintance done, she's been good to me
i do have to get my rear brakes done in the next couple of weeks though, ugh, i hate spending $$$ on my car though, so i totally understand how you feel julia

Im an Internet/Fleet Manager at McKenna BMW, Audi, Porsche in Norwalk. If you're interested in any of those, I could most defenitely hook you up! It's what I do. Auto brokers like Josh Allen work with us because we give them the cars really cheap.

Reality is, I can give a better deal than an autobroker! Any day!!

And though leasing does have its restrictions, its easy to get around them depending of a persons situation and what they want to do at the end of the lease.

Good to know! I'll PM u guys when I get off work, or tomorrow.

if you average 300 a month, you can buy a nice car and your payments will be lower than 300 a month.
