    lease new

    No. Leasing is a pretty bad deal. If you plan to own the car for 5 to 10 years, you might as well buy.

    Buy used

    Used cars for the last 3 years have very poor values. A brand new Toyota Corolla is in the $23k range, but a used one would be above $20k anyway. At that point, you might as well buy a new car.

    Hopefully the used car market returns to normalcy (and it looks like its starting to go back to normal…) but new makes a lot of sense in the last 2 or 3 years.
