Lease or Buy

New question of the day....

Do I lease the Maxda 3 for 3 years or.....buy it????

I struggle...becuase there are pros and cons to both options. I don't drive that much so leasing wouldn't be too bad....and after 3 years....I hand it over and don't have to deal with selling it....downside....after 3 years...I have to find a new car....

My thought is if I lease I can take the extra money that I am saving and when the 3 years is up I can have a bigger down payment on the next car and get what I really want.

The car that I am getting left port yesterday and should be in by the end of the week if not tomorrow....so...I need to think fast!

Thoughts?

Update

So....after thinking and debating.....and thinking some more......











I've decided to go for the Mazda 6. The dealership is offering 0% for 60 mths or.....$2500 cash back..... It's a great price and a great car with good gas mileage. But when I arrived at the dealership....there were none to be found in Michigan.....so I decided...ok then I will look at the Mazda 3.....but....the price was/is the same as the 6 and the 6 is bigger and better....and I get more for the money.....










So I spent yesterday thinking about it....thinking about other options and what to do.....

Today I call the dealership up....ask if he can check just one more time....and well......there's 1 in Indiana that he might be able to get me.....so now I sit in waiting......and waiting........

How long must I wait? I need a car today......

Matilda Part 2

So....Matlida and her babies are not cooperating....

Matila is our pet bird....we are unsure of what kind of bird....but we feed her and we provided a nice grill for her to build her nest.. It's sad because Rose and I were really looking forward to grilling this summer....seems the birdy had other ideas....I'd post pictures but they are blurry...and little Matildy was falling out cause she was on the edge.....I'll try again tomorrow.

More to come......
