Now that I think about it, I should’ve leased a car.

It’s more expensive to finance and cars depreciate compared to buying a house.

but you will always have a car payment compared to buying. Yes, you are right, cars depreciate. But after you spent $19k over 3 years, that could of been towards the price of the car, but yet, there you are back at square one $19k later. It just doesn’t make sense to me.

I guess. After a while, you get tired of driving the same car. I had my Nissan Sentra for almost 4 years now and now I want to get an SUV.

I get that. But i would think one would get tired of the car payments, especially since things get more expensive by the year. How much does a lease on an SUV even go for? $500+ a month? Or more?

Not even sure. I’m paying $250 month for my car now. Have about $10K left for my loan. Life would be easier if I’m married for discounts.

Depending on your mileage and condition, you could probably get 10k out of your Sentra and if not, more like $13-15k
