It’s not a Maserati or a 911, but just bought my first car entirely on my own (24yo). 2018 Passat R-Line. Let’s hear it for all the mid level car owners here

No car better than the first car you buy. Congratulations on the purchase and hope you have many fun and safe trips in this. All the best!

Agreed, much appreciated!

One of these bad boys was my first purchased car. Congrats, OP, it certainly looks nicer than mine did!

Turned in an 08 VW Rabbit (Golf) at 160k miles to get this...my parents and I split the payments on it when I turned 16. Definitely not a bad progression!

I bought a Jetta GLI as my first car (by that I mean my parents didn’t help me). And now 16yrs later I am driving a Golf R.

Buy/lease now or defer to Q1-2023?

My car broke (engine seized, 10y old). I am interested in 530i ($62k price), however 3year lease is $1,000+ monthly (with $5k down). Monthly lesse payment is 50% more than bmw advertised offers (“south FL dealers are not participating in the program”)

Q to car gurus/experts- should I defer purchase/lease for 6 months? My logic, the impending recession will reduce demand and we will go back to more balanced market (lower prices with negotiation).
