Tips on Buying Cars: Short term solution, honda accord, sales jobs


Question
I was laid off from a sales jobs that provided me a company car.  I have to turn the car in in two weeks.  I plan to get a similar job in the next few months that would most likely provide a car.  What is the best (most economical) way to get a car for a few months until I can secure another job?  Purchase, lease, etc.
Thank you for your help.

Answer
You can never go wrong with a cheap import, if you don't have to keep up an image. If you were to buy a Honda Accord with lots of miles for $2000 you could sell it for the same in a year. If you go and purchase or lease something your not going to dump it in a couple of months and come out ahead.
