Car advice

[G G]

Need some help again friends.

I am trying to find someone that sells cars for a living to get some advice but I don't know anyone who does.

I am currently in a situation with a car dealership and am trying to come out of it alive. LOL

They are now trying to talk me into leasing a car instead of buying. Since I do tend to put a lot of miles on a car I was worried about the overage charges.

The guy tells me that the only way a lease comes out good is if you purchase the car after the initial lease period. He is saying it will be a 39 month lease, which gives you payments that are a little less than if you were buying it. Then at the end of the lease you will pay market value (I think) for the car and finance it for 36 months and the payment will be "about" the same. My "about" and their "about" is that part that worries me.

Anyone have any experience or advice? I have never been too keen on the idea of leasing. Is that good or bad?

Thanks
