So /o/,
I have a lease that's going to end in August (btw never lease a car, that was a goddamn mistake) but I also own a NA Miata.
I have a commute that's 56 miles a day that involves heavy traffic which can be stop and go mostly. Im putting $2k away each month and by say November I should have around $10k. I was looking for a high mpg vehicle within that price range.
I could daily the miata but the safety and high miles it has is a bit concerning (158k).
Would you recommend any reliable, high mpg cars that that might work for me? In NY we have hov access for hybrids if that means anything

Off topic,kinda
I never really understood the purpose of leasing a car. Whats the benifit?Feels lile just spending a ton if money just to give up your car.Although buying a used formerly leased car worked out for me quite well.

The way I see it, its a lot like rent a apartment. You pay money into it and never get ownership, but sometimes all you need is a car to move from home to work and back again. You never need to fix it, you never need to worry about it, and in a year or three you move onto a new model with all the bells and whistles.
Just like renting an apartment, when the roof leaks I don't need to do anything other than call up the landlord.

Leasing is the better option when it comes to cars like S classes and 7 series luxobarges that depreciate at an amazing rate. In the end you'll be out less money.

Thank you.
What kind of numale fuck needs a pictoral guide to jump a car? Maybe if you fucks didn't spend your chidhood staring at your iPadphone screens and paying attention when your parents did things, you'd learn something useful.

There's lots of good economic reasons to lease a car, but apparently not in your case. There's also lease to own deals out there which are also ways for you to figure out if the car is a lemon or not before you actually buy it and regret the purchase.

People justify it by saying they get a new car every three years and don't take the depreciation hit of resale but the truth is you pay quite a bit more overall because of hidden shit they don't quite tell you about. If you're gonna get something high end that depreciates like crazy it isn't a bad way to go but you're still burning money for an image

>making it so complicated to jump a car.
remove keys from ignition, close doors.
connect your cables in whatever order you would like.
>start dead car
basic electrical stuff lads, come on.

Probably should have replied to the OP as well. You could look into a late 2000s domestic like a Malibu or something. You've got a fun car and getting a lame reliable American car would be an alright idea

the price of leases IS the depreciation, with added interest. you take the hit for them, and they can sell a post lease car for cheap.
