[ QUOTE ] Ugh. Lease, don't buy. It's not really close. [/ QUOTE ] I disagree. It is close if the car has resale value. [/ QUOTE ] I'm planning on keeping the thing for a while. If it lasts me 10 years, then that long.

[/ QUOTE ] I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure a decently kept civic has a pretty good resale value even 8 years later in almost any urban area in the US. Depending on interest rates for auto loans buying a civic right now might make more sense then leasing. This all depends of course on a) where in the US you live b) what type of loan you get. As long as the OP finds a car he likes and does the math after researching resale value on that car he should be okay.

Re: How do I buy a car?
I'm more than satisfied with the slightly used Toyota Camry I have. Never any repairs. Just basic upkeep. Rated high in consumers report too. 33 mpg highway. Great resale value if you happen to win a WPt event or something. It's a step higher than the civic. The Carolla is the Toyota equivalent.

Re: How do I buy a car?
usually, buying should be a better deal than leasing. although its not always the case, i'd imagine you'd be best off buying a solid, reliable used car. its a good idea to seek a well made and reliable car because if you get something that breaks a lot, it'll end up costing thousands extra in annoying maintenence
