Should i lease or buy? Just found out today, the tranny is going bad in my pathfinder, need to trade in ASAP.

It depends.  Do you hold onto your cars for a few years or do you trade in every couple of years?  If you tend to hold onto your car, buy it, especially an Accord since they hold their value very well.

Well i kept my Pathfinder for 8 years...paid off for 2...I really want to get into leasing. But economically i think trading in on a purchase would serve me best in the long run.

Well i went to a dealer today, they said i am approved for both a lease and purchase, pending my trade in. I'm leaning more toward a lease right now which they quoted me a 4% rate for the lease, it will be higher if i purchase. My auto score was 617.

I'm currently working with two dealers, my local dealer is selling for Accord Sport 24860, they do price match if i can get a bill of sale from the other dealer who is selling their Accord Sport fo 21482 in virginia.

Im not sure how honda works but  Acura financial services approved me yesterday,  I have fair credit and got approved for a 2016 Acura ilx, $299 a month for a 36 month lease.
