Good lease or used buy for mum? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Mom lease Lexus ES 350 right now. Up in 6 months.

Important to her are the comfy ride, memory seats, heated seats, heated side mirrors, parking sensors (rear camera would be better), decent stereo (not an audiophile), auto headlights, auto wipers. None of these make or break except parking sensors. She took the ES over Audi A4 because of them LOL

Basically all the granny things and nannies are nice for her. All wheel drive would be welcomed if the MPG is half decent. She drives maybe 10k/year or less.

Auto transmission a must.

Throw your ideas at me, I got 6 months to look around.

Oh, she makes a good salary but doesn't really care for cars so budget is around 300-400 a month lease or finance. If finance say MSRP less than ~35,000

why not buy out the lease? If she is happy with the car, that's a good one to stick with. Love those things

I'll ask her but she has done 3 lease already, I think she likes having someone new and not worry about ever. You know how people who don't know about cars are scared of things that aren't gas and oil changes.
