There are actually more reasons for those that cant write it off.. maybe you are a person that buys a different car every 3-4 years.. or maybe you want to keep the cash in your pocket for other investments and purchases.. or even warranty coverage for the time you have this car... etc etc.. I was going to finance but am looking at leasing now.. especially if the rates drop.. wanting to buy a place but not give up this amazing car..

I've only had one financed vehicle actually work out better than a lease... my '04 S2000 was financed over 84 months and it was about $220 per month cheaper than the lease would have been for 36 months. I ended up selling it at 37 months for about 5k more than I owed. (the only reason it worked out was a rare colour combo that only existed on about 100 cars in the world otherwise I would have been selling the car for 6-7k less than I did).

To be honest, nothing out there right now is really catching my eye. I feel the 1 is the most interesting cars of the bunch right now, well minus the exotic, RS' IS-F's and the M's of the world. But I still feel there's room for a special edition 1 - but I don't know, maybe I'm just looking to hard for something really special. |

If you purchase the car for work and make payments on a loan the interest is a tax deduction. Then it is a depreciaing asset and you can save tax that way. You don't hear about that very often but that is the way my wife's accountant has her work car set up.

I've stepped down to a 128i so I can have all the fruit. To be honest I'm fine with killing myself 1.5 seconds after I could with a 135i.
What's the story with the loan interest tax deductions, the computer based tax software don't obviously offer that as an option. |
