re: Anyone buying new car during these times?

We lost several cars in 2016, I needed a car to basically get around quick. I leased a base Rav4 for less than $200 a month. 4 Months in, it became one my high school kid's car, other than an accident that wasn't their fault with a drunk hit and runner, not a single issue. Is that the case with all kids, no, but if they are respectful, and even more fearful of you if they tear it up, it can work.
