1. Seems like there are a ton of these used for sale and they take a big depreciation hit.

2. That being said it might just pay to lease it and not worry about depr.

3. Anyone know any rock bottom lease deals on the east coast. NY, NJ area.

4. Will the novelty of the car wear off and it will become boring.

5. As far as attention goes. I drive a red r8 spyder, so plenty of attention/

Any other advise as far as options, etc...

Downside to the car??
I leased. There are plenty of good deals out there. It's an awesome car. I have a 458 Italia, rolls ghost and Bentley CGT. I can tell you that i8 is my favorite car. Just barely nudging out the 458. Hard to beat the 458 sound though. Great part of the i8 is the positive attention. Especially from kids. I keep the car in Pittsburgh and this city has a pretty bad car appreciation culture even though the Pittsburgh vintage grand Pri is great. Even here the i8 gets love.
