Oh I wouldn’t say that - the guy before me bought my car in 2022 for 77,000. Earlier this year he sold it for $40,000 less (only driving it 20,000 miles}.But I understand where you were going.

The first guy leased the car, his employer has a fleet garage that serviced all company cars and delivery vans. I contacted him and he gave me a copy of everything they did to this car right down to the limo tint on the rear side glass and rear window.

You get my point. You’re driving the car for dramatically less than it originally cost, so you don’t get all the new car perks.
