I will be starting a project installing both considerable amount of
molding in my house. I want to buy a power miter saw for the project.
After this I will seldom have any need of the saw. Renting one by the
day would cost to much for a diy in spare time job so can any one
suggest an econonical saw for the project?

One of the best and easily obtained is the DeWalt. You can buy one and then
later sell it for overall less cost than renting.

While I normally do not recommend cheap tools, you can get a Ryobi for about
$100. If you do, you may want to consider getting a better blade for it. I
have no experience with the original blade so check it out. If the cut is
smooth enough, good, but if not a Freud blade is a good bet. In your
case, the most important part is accuracy of the cut so you may have to
adjust it to get it perfect. Durability is not a factor since it is a one
shot deal.

For molding, a 10" is very adequate. You can spend more money for a 12" or
a slider and get more capacity, but for you needs, it seems overkill. If
you have ideas of putting on a deck in the future, the miter saw will be
handy also.
