What sort of cheap car should I get?

Technically haven’t owned a car since 2014. Need to get a car. I want to get from point a to point b so I don’t need anything to special. Leaning towards leasing just to take out a lot of the effort out of dealing with a car. Thoughts?

How long do you need to car? If you don't really need it for more than a year or two then leasing may make sense, but if you need a car indefinitely I would buy a Honda or similar with 100k miles on it. You can get another 100k out of it easily if you don't drive like an a-hole and low mileage per year. That will be way more economic than leasing.

Is there such a thing right now?

Toyota or Honda sedan.

Oldest low mileage Toyota you can find

Not cheap, but reliable, so Toyota or Honda.

We leased a Honda Civic years ago when ex wife was in law school. Worked out great.
If you're buying, I strongly recommend an old Corolla with 150k+ miles on it to get price down. DO NOT LET THE HIGH MILES dissuade you.
They will last twice that many miles and you'll be happy.

The new F150 King Ranches are pretty cheap. Only like $80k or something. If you are looking more for a car I’m pretty partial to the Porsches that start around the same price. It’s a bargain!

Did you look at carmax? A friend of mine has a daughter about to start college and just bought her a 2018 civic there for a reasonable price

Pay cash for an old toyota echo, any mileage. They are reliable, high mileage, great economy, and zippy.
