With your salary do you buy or lease a car? Trying to figure out a good car to commute 20 miles to the office and back during the week and it seems like leasing might be better for the long term. Hoping to get an idea as to what people are using too as I am unfortunately in the market again after a crash…

I buy my cars. Gives me flexibility. Never underwater. Don’t have to get a new one if I don’t want to. The yearly rate (including depreciation) can be a lot better for a bought car than a leased car.

Check out leasehackers. Sometimes some really good deals on leases especially for EVs

Salesman make much more off leases. That should tell you something.

Figure out the car first, and go from there. The last 2 cars we've bought we've been so happy with, I don't see us trading in anytime soon. It will be nice when we pay off the second one in a few months and will be back to no car payments, but still have decent cars.

I get complimented CONSTANTLY on my Genesis GV70 (a '22), and my boss keeps thinking it's a Porsche😂 our other car is a '20 Prius prime and we average 100mpg with charging. It's not a luxurious, but we've been happy and it has retained its value like crazy.

I'm not sure if it's just me getting older or it really isn't changing as fast, but the cars improved so rapidly for awhile that I did understand leasing so you could move to the next safety features faster, now they seem to be stabilizing, so I don't feel that drive to upgrade.

Is it common to offer signing bonuses for product managers? I've only worked in small companies and I'm currently interviewing at a much larger company. I am expecting an offer this week, but the salary isn't quite where I want it to be. A signing bonus of 5 or 10k would make me feel so much better (obviously) but it would put me right where I want to be for salary this year. I'm taking a cut in salary to consider this new job but I like the company and they actually offer benefits
