New car buying ideas

[02GTVert]

My Charger lease is up in 6 months and I am starting to look already and need some ideas. I really wanted a '15 Charger RT AWD, but since they aren't making those anymore, I don't know what to get.

What would be some suggestions? These are some of my search preferences:
-AWD preferred, but open to 4wd.
-V8, but open to suggestions.
-Car, but open to SUV/truck.
-Sporty
-No soccer mom vans. I'm single and won't be having any kids.
-Always driven one the the Big 3 brands my whole life.

Looking for my lease or buy payment to be around the $300 mark, can put down around $2500 if necessary. Ideas?

They still make an AWD charger just a V6 one

Buy your Charger?

Lease another 2014 AWD. They got some real good deals going on right now. I'm picking one up on Thursday. I don't care for the new 2015 redesign either.

Good luck on the $300 a month, unless you are leasing. If you are looking for anything 'cool' to drive then the payment is going to be much higher then that with $2500 down. Leasing is a waste of money IMO, its money that you will never see back.

With that said I think you can lease a Hemi Ram for pretty cheap.

Nothing wrong with leasing. My view on it is get a nicer car for less payment than buying crappier new one. I also think it's funny when someone tries to justify me out of a Diesel engine in a truck, buy showing me the break even point to decide if it's worth it or not. As soon as I flat foot it and it moves out.... it's worth it at that moment.

Ever sell a car for more than you bought it for new?

Yeah but do you realize that when you turn that lease in you have nothing to show for the 5k+ you've forked over? Not to mention your typical 12k mile a year limit. You basically can't customize the vehicle, and if you decide to end your lease and not lease another you get fees. No thanks

300hp V6 AWD with 8 speed will be a pretty quick charger still

This is why I will only buy a used car/truck.

Study after study shows that a used car is much
more affordable and a better value than a new one.

I agree, normally a brand new car loses a lot of value,
hence I don’t waste my money on a new car.
