Due to Covid, my leased 18 Ti Sport will only have around 32K miles out of the 39K I paid for. My buyout is around $23K. Other than a bad oil pump solenoid, it has been very reliable, though I am somewhat concerned my dealer did not actually perform my first "free" oil change, hence the solenoid. I have no proof of this though, and the car continues to run very (very) strong. No squeaks or rattles. Beautiful paint. Wonderful seats. Honestly just a fu#king epic car. Should I:
Buy my vehicle that I know has been treated well by me, eating the somewhat high buyout cost versus purchasing the car outright and pursue an extended warranty.
OR
Buy a used 19 or 20 for around $30-35K with low miles, picking up the tilting driver seat and maybe dynamic cruise control, albeit almost certainly with worse paint and interior wear.
