Better than I could have asked for!

Amanda,06/29/2016

Last summer I was in the market for a 4,500 dollar car and I spent an hour or two a day on this website.

Great little car

magpie318,11/20/2012

I bought my car about a year ago with 114,000 miles on it. It drove like new. I never had a problem with it. While driving on the highway a deer jumped right out in front of me. I ended up hitting it. At 55 mph the car took the brunt of the impact. It felt as though I had hit a speed bump instead of a 6 point deer. When I got out of the car, and was able to see the damage done to it, I

It's also on it's third set of tires which were changed at 210,000 miles. Handling is great, but the

Should I lease or buy a 2005 Hyundai Elantra?

Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
