It just bothers me to pay top dollar And sales tax on an inflated number. Buying is not better and maybe worse bc then you own the car (depreciating asset) at a higher price and will be worse off when you try to sell it when the market reverts.
I get that certain features are gone due to chip shortages but paying so much more for a leased vehicle makes zero sense to me. Unless my dealer comes back with a deal before June I値l be buying my lease out in June. I do like my car and I値l just add a BMW warranty.
When the market corrects or my car wears out I値l revisit leasing.

If you have a nice car and it still works, it is worth keeping it in today's semiconductor short world.
