Like, do you extend the lease? Return the vehicle and try aiming for a different dealership?

    Buy a used car maybe? I’ve never bought a new car as they’re pretty out-of-reach cost wise and I say this as someone who works in automotive development.

    The used market isn’t as good as it used to be but you can still get more for your money than you can with a new car

      I’m in the process of buying a new (to me), as my mid 90’s volvo simply isn’t big enough for the entire household (runs great though!).

      And after looking at various cars, their prices, and the market in general, I have to seriously question how worth it a factory-fresh car is. A couple of years, and you get the same car for half the price.

      Sure, there might be hidden faults, but with a reputable dealer this shouldn’t be a problem: One of my local dealers sell used cars with warranty as if it was new.
