Did you buy or lease your car?

buy

Melodi, 19
Gahanna
, OH   USA

Just bought a new Mercury Villager mini-van. Nice but too much money for a car.

Lane, 50+
TX  USA

I bought it. All it takes is for me to have one contract at a distance (and when I lived in Florida I had a 110 mile round trip commute for six months) and I kill any mileage allowances on a rental.

Jane, 62
West Linn
, OR   USA

On loan . . Will own it outright in 2 1/2 years.

Felicia, 35
Lowell
, MA   USA

I BUY CARS BECAUSE I LIVE 20 MILES FROM THE NEAREST TOWN AND PUT ALOT OF MILES ON A VEHICLE I REALLY WISH I COULD LEASE BUT WITH PUTTING 25000 TO 30000 MILES A YEAR IT DOES ME NO GOOD TO LEASE. I DRIVE MY CAR TO NEARLY 200,000 BEFORE TURNING IN FOR A NEW ONE.

Marci, 56
Diamond
, OH   USA

My current vehicle was given to me by my mother when she bought a new car. So technically it was a gift, not bought or leased.

Stephanie, 25
TX  USA

Buy. (Can this question be any less thought provoking?)

Aaron, 22
VA  USA

I'm leasing my car; now i wish id just bought a used one because i cant reallly afford this..

Talia, 24
Wilton
, CT   USA

Our car is bought and paid for.

Jill, 60
Saylorsburg
, PA  USA

I don't have a car. If I did, itmwould probably be leased.

Derya

I drive my dad's truck lol.

Dianne, 17
Ontario  CANADA

Me and the bank bought it. Don't get me started on the idiocy of leasing a car.

Laura, 36
Lowell

Karen2, 15

Buy. In some far away future I might actually own the thing! It's not too far away though...under two years I think :0)

Tracy, 24
Ocean City
, NJ  USA

i bought my car... i basically sold my soul to the devil to get it financed and it sucks hard... but, whatever, its a car.

Maggie, 22
Sandwich

We just turned in a leased car (1999 Mercury Cougar), and purchased a new (used) one (1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28)

Kevin, 33

Jennifer, 19

No.

Karen, 22
Marshalltown/Ames
, IA  USA

I bought my car.

Celeste, 30
Colorado Springs

I purchase my cars cause I drive way to much to stay within the lease quota.  I put 70,000 miles on a car in 3 years.

Janet, 44

Buy. It's a 1996 Geo Prizm.
