Do you own your car, or do you lease? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #17851 42 posts Started by spewie
Im curious to see wether people around the globe buy a car by paying cash, or by getting the car financed, or even leased, or whatever.

I own my car luckily >wink.gif>
Cash - everything i buy is just CASH, maybe later then i will consider getting house, i will get a loan...

Financing, 3 years 250 a month. I bought my car for $9500 at a dealership durring the summer. Interest rate is only 3.7% so it was a pretty good rate.
i pwn my car now..but i bought it for 6k and took out a loan from the bank for 3k.

You cant lease used cars. Maybe you meant financed?

I took out a 6 month loan to pay for mine; 3 yrs ago. So I own it.

finance baby. i paid cash for my 86 corolla, but since then my cars have been to expensive for me to pay cash. $20,000 for my new(er) civic and when that got totaled, i paid off the loan with the insurance money and within 2 days found my celica and jumped on it with another loan. no time to save. i have to have a car. i cant live without one. i bought my first car 6 months before i was able to drive it.

im happy to see that most of you guys got the car by paying cash :-)

the reason why i wondered, is because when you get the car on a loan, how are you ever gonna get the mods to get payed for?
