U need a good CPA to take care of dep recap for you. I have been using section 179 for the last couple work vehicles now, there is a “trade in” clause in section 179 that our CPA uses.
I was asking if it is business related for the sake of real $ cost of the lease. I think at some point regardless of OP’s income, it will be “too much capital expenditure” on a vehicle after all. It this case $40k-ish to rent a car for 3 years. There are CPO navigators for 55-60k I bet out there to own for about the same monthly payment.
