We're coming up on the end of our lease of a 2008 Saturn Vue. I know that leasing is proably not the best way to "own" a car but it might be the cheapest way. Leasing vs purchasing varies by the season and one month might be better that the next. One of our priorities is to never drive a vehicle out of warranty. So we are thinking of leasing again. Being a GM retiree, I can buy or lease a GM vehicle at dealer cost because of our discount. The discount isn't that great anymore and I would consider driving any other make as long as it fits within our wallet paramaters. I have heard about buying or leasing cars online and don't know how this works out on the warranty issues. If I get one online from 100 miles away, how do I feel about taking it to the local dealer for warranty work? There was another thread a few weeks ago about this very issue. I prefer to buy locally if the cost difference is not great, and I don't know how it could be.
Thought I'd throw this thread out there again and see if anyone has had experience buying online, what to watch out for and how do you start this process? Another of our priorities is to not take ANY money out of our pocket as a down payment.
