Dear forum, as can already be seen from the title, I think about which decision I should make for myself. I would be very grateful for your advice. In addition, a few facts in comparison, which come from personal experience. 1. Purchase – Used car (middle class) 4 years old. – Value loss in 2 years: 9,000€ – Disadvantages: Wear costs, higher susceptibility to maintenance, non-depositable (in self-employed) – Advantages: Property 2. Leasing – New vehicle (lower middle class) ) – Loss of value in 2 years: 10,000€ (leasing rate + down payment) – Disadvantages: no ownership, delivery after 2 years – Advantages: less susceptibility to maintenance, guarantee, deductible Personally, I already feel a little sympathy for my vehicle, but I kept on sweating when I took care of the sale. I want to avoid this stress. The question also arises whether 5,000€ a year is not too much for a vehicle. But with this loss of value I had to in two years at my brother’s. And in addition, I could make this €5,000 tax claim. Thank you for your advice of this luxury problem greeting
