Used car...preferably the cheapest, most reliable one you can get. No use in going all out on a minimal use vehicle.

Def won’t be having it for 10 years. My coworker suggested leasing for a couple years but I won’t even use it enough to justify that.

Damn that. Man I was kicking it with this sl00t back in 03, and I bought a 04' accord cash. She thought I should have taken that money and used it to put a down payment on a Mercedes. 16 years later I still use that car as a secondary vehicle...Whereas with the merc I would have been up to my ass in payments trying to impress some girl.

Depends on what you want/need it for......

I've got 3 vehicles.....and the one that I drive a few days/month is basically a toy.

2009 F150 4x4 4-door....to have a truck. I bought it wrecked, got a stupid deal and fixed it myself. Previous owner was quoted 8k to fix....I did it for $2,800
2020 Grand Cherokee...Daily
1972 Skylark, big block 455, cam, ported heads, working on a turbo set up right now....I drive it 3-4 days/month.
