Its your money bro. I think you are looking for people to agree with you. Unfortunately you wont find much of that here. A lease is never financially smart. And if she is really putting that little in mileage why would you want to be the one to deprecate the vehicle?

Honesty, go find a 05-07 accord or something and she will be fine. Those things are bulletproof.

Hell, add roadside assist to your insurance if you really are concerned for safety

Just trying to lay out my line of reasoning but if I'm wrong in my assumptions then I'm open to change. Like I said, I've never leased a car so I'm just trying to gather as much info as I can so I don't go in blind.

As far as getting that 06 accord, I really don't want to drain our savings to buy a car with over 100K miles. If I come out a little behind because I lease instead of buy then I'm OK with that because I'm not putting myself into a situation where our savings is gone.

If for some hypothetical reason I lose my job or get hurt or whatever and we buy that car, then we're in a tight spot with no cash to hold us over. I figure with the lease, we still have the cash reserve to hold us over until I'm able to work again.

I don't see why people continue to say this on here. For someone who would like get a new car every few years, a lease is the best option. Not everyone wants to ride in a beater until the wheels fall off.
