[quote=Anonymous]So we only drive a couple thousand miles a year.  We only have one car and in theory we could probably do without it but frankly having to find a zipcar every time I need to pick my kid up at a birthday party or something doesn't seem that fun.  We are not "car people"-- have no desire for an upscale car and no desire to spend time maintaining a car, but also not really looking to buy a very used car (partly because we don't want to worry about future repairs).  We have also found that if you drive a car as little as we do it eventually has as many, if not more, maintenance issues as if you drive it 10-15k miles a year.

Last time we just bought a car, kept it for about 12 years, and figured out it probably cost us $250/month.  I am wondering if this time we should find a lease that costs less than $200 a month, or just buy the cheapest car we can find (but it's kind of depressing to spend $15-20k on something you don't actually like), or buy used and hope we don't get too many maintenance issues.[/quote]
