I am recent grad who makes 3k a month and for my work i travel nearly 60 miles a day. I’ve had some used cars over the past months and they’ve been super unreliable. I can’t do cash payments not even below 5k at the moment. But i need a car ASAP. i was looking into some CPO and some relatively newer cars and the interest rates and prices just don’t make sense. Makes me think if i should just lease or buy a Corolla, Civic or a Mazda3. Even if i lease i pay like 800$ over whatever i pay even if i drive a lot more than the limit. And buying too, really i get warranty and peace which i value more now that I’ve been stranded on the roads with unreliable cars.
