If you can lease a respectable car for $200 a month all in, I have NFI why you'd buy used.

That's an ABSURD price, hard to get anything here under $450 a month.

So just check, a mid spec CRUZE is about $350 a month here. Lower than i thought.

I had a TBSS a few year back. It was a fairly fun SUV, but was horrible on gas and wasn't nearly as fast as I' wanted it to be. I suggest getting a later model WRX hatch. If the engine was treated well, it should be very reliable and you can fit a lot of stuff in back with the seats folded down. Plus they are a blast to drive.

Not sure what you were expecting from a 6.0L V8 lol.

Buying an automatic Fit is just as stupid as buying an automatic Miata.
