Personally, I think this is a great strategy... $3000 is nothing to sniff at!

 

I still haven't seen one of these in the wild... And I'm in Seattle, where I figure they'd be popular!

 

I traded in my I-Pace in January to a dealer in Illinois. It sat on their lot for seven months as the price dropped to $10,000 less than they gave me for a trade, and finally sold last week.It was a 2019 HSE with 2200 miles and sold for under $45,000!!!

 

They are deal used. But this is why, with any new technology, it is often better to lease than buy.
