You could always rent for a month or two while keeping an eye on craigslist and ebay for a decent deal.
We went the used rental route for a year with my daughter's trombone, and when she decided she wanted to do it again, it was mid-summer and I had time to look on ebay. Bought a decent used on off e-bay and spent less for it than one years worth of rent on her first trombone.
