i have a financed 2005 right now but i bought it in canada and now i live in the states and given the exchange rates plus prices in canada for cars it makes no sense to keep it so i'm gonna flip it and buy something down here.  wondering if i wouldnt have been better off just getting a 3 year lease or something.  what are the pros and cons?

 I could be wrong, but I think leasing might work out more expensive.  I used to lease a fleet of ford focus when I had my double glazing firm because the cars always got so fucked up (I got good deals and could trade them in with 2 weeks notice).  I think finance is cheaper though in your case.  Try to find the cash though.  Unless you care about what people think, just get something cheap and reliable.
