Hello all, I make about $41k a year and need to replace my car. I’ve always driven older cheap cars (last one was a ‘99 Buick I paid $2.5k in cash for), but the repairs wore me out after a few years. I gave in and sold it to a local scrapyard for some extra cash. I pay roughly $600+ in monthly expenses (rent, food, gas) so budgeting isnt a huge problem. This time Im looking for a more reliable, financially efficient option without completely draining my wallet, But Not sure if I should buy used (dealership/facebook marketplace/offerup) or look into leasing, so any personal advice would help, especially from those who’ve been in my boat. Thanks in advance
