Buy New or Used?
Research cars before deciding to get one. Some are more safe than others, some are more likely to be stolen than others, some use more gas than others, and the list goes on. New cars tend to have less issues than used cars, so factor in more repair costs for a used car - new car warranty should cover issues for a good year or more. Service plans are also worth considering, if you don't want to pay for the oil changes and such each time. Used cars - you don't know what the previous owner did - did he take care of the car with regular oil changes and maintenance? Did the car come from a storm area that may show flood damage? Was the previous owner a smoker (you may find the answer when you use the heater or air conditioner).

Buy or Lease?
Leasing a car may or may not give you a lesser monthly payment than a car with a loan. Do you like being able to upgrade your car more often? A lease may afford you to be able to do this more easily than buying and selling - check out the lease options. do you need to buy it outright at end of lease period? I took my previous car out as a leased option, then I bought it after the lease ran out - I was so happy with the car. Since then, we've bought new cars with car loans or aid in full. I don't have a preference either way. Though with the lease, the buying option brought the purchase price way down after lease period was over.
