> The average five-year-old EV has lost 57.2% of its value> ~41.8% average for gas-powered carsWhat is stopping me from leasing a new car for 4 years and doing it over again? Alot of dealerships let you lease new cars for 300-500 a month and the depreciation value still outpaces that cost.Am I stupid or is this a good idea? I guess the next best thing is just buying a used car.
sure. if you're happy owning nothing.
>>28978482>41.8% average for gas-powered cars My Lexus lost 37% after 10 years.
electrofags literally cant stop losing
>>28978618Idk man, gas prices have been fucking me over. Might just rent an electric car until gas prices go down
>>28978630>gas prices are too high>that’s why I want to be making car payments every month>to save money
imagine counting avoiding depreciation-cost as a positive for an asset you don't even own.
>>28978630Bait post or shill, call it.
>>28978657Nah real
>>28978646I mean if I like it, I can probably negotiate a low price with the dealer to buy it
>>28978683Ok so bait.Unless you wanna post a rental agreement with a time stamp.(You won't and cannot)
>>28978826Nigga I haven't done it yet. I was asking.
>>28978482own nothingpay forever
>>28978482with leases you're paying depreciation. that 300-500 assumes a nice down payment up front. so for instance you could lease a model 3 rwd premium and pay 4044 at delivery (down payment + fees) and 349/month, with an option to purchase for 28,522 at end of lease. that's right around what 2023s are worth right now. obviously that's a ripoff because of the depreciation cliffwhat that means is that you're not coming out ahead and building equity (which almost never happens, tho there are rare cases where cars hold their value or even appreciate), but you aren't falling behind either. whether that makes sense to you is up to you
>>28978684Good luck with that.
>>28978482> The average five-year-old EV has lost 57.2% of its valuethe problem with this statistic is basing the original value at sticker when most people got them heavily discounted and fed/state rebatesyeah, a 2022 that had an MSRP of 65k is now selling for ~35k, but it originally sold for ~55kthis puts it squarely in the range of average depreciationnot to mention most EV's of the era tend to skew towards luxury which experience heavier depreciation anyways
