I guess the drop in value might be the same if you finance or lease this car...either way, you are gonna lose money
So why not drop $40k on a car that you can drive for those 3 years, that actually goes up in value?

That's what I do. The hell with 40% depreciation, of a 2022 EV, over 3 years. If I pick the right one, I'll gain 40% if the value, not lose 40% of a new cars cost. Damn. Crazy.

Give me a mint, low option, maint record E36/46/90 ///M car and I'm good for 3yrs, and will make money on the $40k. Turn around in 3yrs and do it again. Better driving experience. Don't try the warranty argument, I wrench, and will handle anything that comes up. 😉
