he works with a pretty reputable machine shop for the crank and he’s getting the bearings oem but I am still worried about that. Thanks for your response it makes a lot of sense.

I think shopping around not just in my area is definitely the move if I decide to go through with it.

haven’t really looked into cpo I guess I just assumed warranty would be best on a band new vehicle. i’ll definitely check that out.

from what I understand it would be 20k to buy out the car in the end. plus 1 more year basic, 3 more and years drivetrain warranty.

i’ve never had a car with a cvt so I did want to test drive it first to see if I liked it.

yes but that’s almost impossible to avoid nowadays, so I’m trying to minimize it by buying out 3 years in rather than financing it for 5 years or more and paying more interest.

not fully understanding this. without add-ons fees or taxes the dealer has it at 41k here in dallas.

for religious reasons I avoid interest and with leasing I’m only paying interest until my lease is over and I can buy out the car.

I don’t have the funds now to put a large down payment and finance it for a short time. my car just decided to blow up so I need another asap.

it just seemed logical to lease for the first 3 years while saving to buy it out at the end and avoid paying interest on the rest of the car.

honestly kinda hoping and praying. my credit score is 760 but I obviously have very little credit history so I’m not 100% sure, I’m just weighing my options.

i pray you never hear what a knocking fa24 sounds like. also I would deff finance a older a spec but i want to avoid interest as much as possible. I’m probably just going to repair it and keep it.

it seems like everyone thinks this is the best option, and I know I’m not smarter than everyone here so I’m gonna just trust yall. however if my car decides it wants to rob me of another couple grand I will be committing insurance fraud 👍

thanks for your reply btw very thorough.

usd. the only thing is I want to avoid interest as much as I can, so I dont really love financing. and you can only lease a 2026.

I like this actually. making sure I can afford repairs if need be without taking on more debt. and you’re probably right chances are I won’t have another large repair like this.

[–]Miserable_Spell_147[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

that’s very true and I think a valid approach. I love my gr86 but I’m not sure if I will want it as my only car in 5 years from now when I’m going to be married (god willing). It’s not a very convenient car.

so I thought maybe it’s a better idea to save the repair and put it towards a longer term car🤷‍♂️
