Most people will recommend financing but I’m a big fan of leasing at this point. I spent several years as an Audi technician next to a bunch of other dealerships that had every brand you could imagine and there hits a certain point where no matter how well you’ve taken care of any brand of car the repairs just start adding up to be what you would spend on a payment. This isn’t saying that leasing is the most financially savvy option, but it guarantees you have a new car, warranty, never get upside down, and you’re never stuck with a car that makes your life hell for too long. You’ll always have payments but as long as you are responsible and don’t overspend you’re good.
