Add me to the list of people trying to figure it out. I am debating going the CPO route or going with a *base* M3. I have a test drive scheduled for next week and explicitly told them I didn't want to see a P3D in a 20-mile radius to make sure I don't take it for a spin.
I extended my lease even though it made no financial sense as I will have to pay a full year of CA DMV fees...but hey, one/I can't be 100% rational when it comes to cars.
On a related note, I would love to hear about end-of-lease inspections when financed with Tesla as well...curb rash anyone?
@frebay: my gut (and it's just that...) is that what we're seeing re. inv cars is as good as it's going to get, +/- a couple of $100s off MSRP.
