Car Buying Question Please

[texas99]

i have a very expensive car payment that i cannot afford so i will surrender the car in a bankruptcy... if i put down 5 thousand dollars on a new car lease, is that a problem ?

will that give me too much equity , i am trying to keep my payments low... ?

will they say , why did you put 5 thousand down on a car when you were in trouble with bills?

i have not missed any payments on cc's yet buy i have lost my job and need a car to get another

i am below the means for a chapter 7

I doubt you'll be able to get an auto lease with no job. Where is the $5K coming from?

savings that are getting depleted

My suggestion would be to concentrate on finding a job and use the savings for a downpayment on a reasonably priced used car and, living expenses. Don't sink $5K into a lease when you have no job and are on the cusp of a bk.
