Leasehackr isn’t just a community to learn about leasing — it’s also a place to discuss all things related to personal finance and mobility, including the intersection of those two topics.

Here’s an interesting thought experiment raised by Trusted Hackr @305Hackr on Leasehackr Forum:

Given the prices of most leases right now, I think it would be an interesting discussion on what reliable car one could buy for $10k with under 100k miles to hold you over for a year or so until chip shortage ends and prices start to “normalize”.

What would you get?

With inventory shortages due to the global microchip crisis, it’s a unique time to be shopping for a car, and sometimes it takes an alternative approach to weather the storm until the situation normalizes again.

Read on to see what ideas the Leasehackr community has to get around economically during these unique times.
