One salesweasel tried to talk me into a leasing contract.
In my life, I've so far always paid cars cash and have also intended that for this car.
The rationale she gave would be a protection against the car loosing value more quickly than the leasing rates.
I'm not sure whether that's BS or not.
Another thing that might be in favor of leasing is inflation - if inflation continues or gets even worse, it might be good to delay payments.
Thoughts?

Nice looking car
Thank you for saving our environment.
No, I don't think at all that I'm doing something for the environment. If you add all the various effects together, the car is at best neutral compared to a traditional car. I'm just an above-average-earning leech who profits from a highly subsidized car paid for, to a large degree, from taxes by people who could never afford a car like that.

Your self-awareness is admirable.
Congratulations, by the way.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
