why would you ever put that much out of pocket?
if you were to, god forbid, total the car coming out of the parking lot you are out of a lot, and i meen a lot of money. if you put like 1-2k out of pocket audi offers gap insurance so you are ok.

 

i hear it pays more to buy the car on a payment plan instead of leasing...but idk if this is gonna be a company car or whatver. Maybe a lease works better for you, but thats just what im always hearing (that down payment with buy out payments works out better than a lease)

 

Leasing a vehicle is the most expensive way to "purchase" a car. Do not do a lease. Save up you doe and pay for a car. No car payment, no loan, no debt.

Leasing is a terrible idea. Pay cash for an older car.

 

Leasing is a bad idea. You don't get anything out of it. Put some money down on a car and pay it off.

I don't know too many people that can pay 40,000 out of pocket and not have a car payment though...

 

So you're saying that i shouldn't put that much down on a new car? I dont want a high mothly payment. Dont want to lease cause i ski a lot and will be using the car for going back and forth.

 

the only reason why i'm thinking about leasing is that i can change the car every 2 yrs and i wont have to worry about repairs and servicing etc.
