Default so i'm trading in my first jk

Not sure if i'm nuts or not but let me know what you think. I had a subaru wrx and when i blew the motor after 2 months I bought my first wrangler (2nd jeep). So my jk is only 7 months old but its a 2dr and i need more room. I'm looking at a 2011 4dr with more options. I currently pay 387 a month . I'm going to be leasing my 4dr cause thats the only way I can afford to have a 4dr. An I nuts leasing to buy? Having payments for so long but it's a better jk and should last me for 10+ years.

do not lease .... or lease to buy !!! I am in the business.... trust me.... if you cant afford to buy..... then wait... also... you should never finance a car more than 3 years....if you cant afford that payment...then you shouldnt buy

Look at getting a used 1-2 (model) years old 4 dr leasing is not a good idea. Or get a 4 dr with less options. There is usually a way to get what you want, maybe a different dealership. My 2dr had more room than my 4dr has simply because I could stack it better in the 2dr. The seat comes out of the 2dr the 4dr just folds you lose a lot of space in the foot wells on the 4 dr. The 4 dr has easier rear seat access that's about it.

Leasing is bad. I leased the last 3 vehicles I had, and decided to purchase the jeep. Don't waste the cash.
