Okay, accountant here, but not a CPA. At the BMW dealer turning in our F30. Paid $550/mo with nothing down for 36 mos, $55k sticker and it's worth $18.5k today. Tell me how that wasn't wildly better than purchasing it?

I hear the tired bromide that leasing isn't a good idea from almost everyone except financial advisors and people that work in the industry.

And yes, that Boxster deal is horrific.
