I have been back and forth with what to buy, from coupe, to sedan, to tsx (weird i know). I have decided on the honda accord sedan (practical, good looking, fuel efficient, will last me a while).
I will be honest, the only sedan I want is the ex-l w/o nav trim. The sport lacks features. The ex lacks leather, the second tough screen, and the cloth is crap. The V6 is still out of my price range and honestly I don't need the extra speed (yes it is fun, but when I have more money down the line I will spring for something later).
Here is the issue. Brand new, financed, will be hard to afford for me. I can do it but I will really have to tighten my budget. Brand new, leased, obviously will be more affordable. I don't drive far to work and such so mileage will not be a problem. I do want to mod, but again, cannot do that on a lease unless everything gets ripped off. I will probably buy at the end of the lease because I do love the car and I know I will take a hit on the second tax, but again I will get to keep any mods on it.
I have found a used 2013 ex-l sedan at autolenders (one-owner used car dealer, very reputable, NJ) for 22,2495 with 32k on it. I can finance that amount and still be fine with my monthly budget.
So, should I go the lease route to a possible buyout?
or take the used 2013 and finance that amount?
