"I thinking about putting 10k on anything and building my credit after that"
why...
listen.. dumping that kind of money in a depreciating asset is not a good idea. if you're in the military you might not drive it that often. my suggestion would be to lease a ride. this will also help you build a relationship with whatever manufacturer you go with and later if you want to buy or lease again you will have more incentives from that manufacturer

@majorpain Leasing is a good if he plans on switching cars every few years, other wise its just wasting money.
OP as someone else said look into 2009+ Maximas because their body hasn't change much at all. As far as the 300 I like the new body style a lot but if I had a choice I'd get an older SRT8 model for cheaper.
To help assist you more, what are you looking for in a car? Sedan, Coupe? MPG's? Warranty? Ride Quality?

this is a very narrow view of looking at leasing..there are more benefits than just switching cars after the lease is up

That was just one example though. We don't know how much the OP drives and most leases have mileage caps too. When leasing you can't do many Modifications to the car either, although I've heard of people doing stuff without the dealers knowledge but thats not very cost effective. I know most cars are a depreciating asset but I'd rather own a car after 3-4 years of paying on it than having to give it back with nothing to show for it.
Out of curiosity what do you think are some other benifits of leasing?

You're correct with everything you listed, you can get all that when buying to own a new vehicle as well. The OP is looking at new vehicles, other posters and myself are the ones that mentioned used vehicles.
As I said before the main benefit of leasing is the ability to stay in something new/up to date and there is nothing wrong with that. It's just not for me lol.

So what would yall do if you know theres a possibility of being in the desert for 6 months or moving out of the country and living there. I'm the type to buy something but I don't want to ship a new car to Japan or leave it with my folks. But I do want to have something of my own and not feel like I'm just driving a rental car.

This right here.. not to mention the potential tax benefits as well... for a person in the OPs situation, a lease is probably a very good option to consider.
1. He has cash on hand.
2. He wants a new car.
3. Possibility he wont get to drive it that much. (Mileage cap wont apply)
4. Can always buy it or finance into a loan at lease end.
One thing people fail to realize is that leases are negotiated as well. Those commercials you see about putting down X money and paying Y a month are just promotions dealers run to get people in there.
You can get into a lease without putting anything but a security deposit down (refundable at lease end btw) and destination charge in most cases AND pay a note close to those promotions. EVERYTHING is negotiable when buying or leasing a car. Its all about what you know about car negotiating and your credit situation.
Like EmHolla said you are paying for the depreciation. Consider this, if you have the dealer run the numbers between financing and leasing, the note will be lower leasing. If you put the difference into a savings account every month, at lease end you could knock off a huge chunk of remaining residual value of that car and finance into a short term loan or you could walk away with your cash + interest. Often times the dealer will offer you even MORE incentives to keep that vehicle.
Start at leasetrader.com and see the type of low/no money down type deals and you will see what I mean.
And I dont know about you niggas...but I'm past "modifying" cars. Shits a waste of time. My daily driver has a small setup, but its also just for work or if I want to ride with the top down. My "nice" car has damn near everything in it.

@Majorpain, after the OP's last post I'd agree with you. Honestly if he's about to be out of the country for 6-12 months or possibly moving to another country period I wouldn't be looking to buy or lease a car in the states right now. I'd wait to see where I'm going then buy a car in the country I'm moving to, or just wait til you come back and get a car.
