Does anyone know of a way to lease a used Model S? Does Tesla offer leasing of their inventory/CPO cars?
I've always bought my cars outright but for the Tesla it makes sense to lease for tax purposes because I can deduct the entire lease payment via my business. Ideally I'd like to lease a 1 year old Model S so I can have the lease figure based after the initial year of depreciation.
Does anyone know of a bank that leases high end used cars? I realize it is a risky situation for banks not knowing the residual value of a used car but I can cover that risk for the bank by agreeing to an insanely low residual. of let's say $20K, at the end of the lease period. This way I get the maximum benefit of a tax write-off for the lease payment + depreciation and I can just buy the car at the end of the lease period at a very advantageous cost.
All I'd need is a willing financial institution...
