Your math is accurate but youāre missing something thatās an important factor to me here which is the time value of money. The idea of tying up $205K today to MAYBE get $150K back down the road in 3 years isnāt a guarantee or smart- itās hypothetical based off the past. Iād rather keep the cash flowing elsewhere while MB eats the depreciation on this thing. Thatās how you win a high rate market- you let the leverage do the heavy lifting. Youāre asking me to chase resale but I prefer to compound liquidity in current cash flow.

Purchasing a 200 mile range EV at the residual contract value is probably sound financial advice you could sell on TikTok.

you actually made me laugh. Credit given where itās due. Iām convinced everyone hates EVās and this G580 should only be flexed at $500/month. Point taken. LH had an advertised price I believe at $2,300/month with roughly $5K out of pocket. If LH posted it, must have been decent right? So I beat it, posted it, then got bashed for it. Try and understand the confusion there. It is what it is, Iām not offended, just tired on trying to convey a point. I hope everyone has a great night.

Except MB isnāt eating the depreciation. You are, as it is baked into the cost of the lease. Youāre fundamentally misrepresenting how leases are structured/constructed and for some reason acting like captive banks are choosing to engage in a negative expected value transaction for them, which I can assure you they generally are not.
Itās not tying 205k up, as was said earlier itās an effective difference of around 1500/mo so on a 36 month term we can round it to tying 50k up to basically have a TCO on a more superior product that is like 30k less, so idk pretty good ROI to me.
Anybody can pay a bunch of money for a car and if you can afford it , great, but that doesnāt mean you should act like itās a financially advantageous transaction or some cheat code.

The guy is satisfied with his deal and the truck, and most importantly his wife got what she wanted. Let him live. Thereās an ass for every seat. The data point is useful whether you like it or not.

If you pay leasehackr a cut you can post whatever deal you want here. I wouldnāt use prenegotiated deals as a data point for your own negotiations. I regularly can beat them. I guess itās a starting point but thatās about it.
Enjoy the car however. You got what you want and wanted to lease. People do this all the time when they have cash to burn. Nothing wrong with thatā¦im a cheap bastard and my wife gets what she gets and is typically happy with it.
