    I hope you’re talking about a second vehicle and not replacing your car every 2 years. I replace my phone less frequently than that.

        Plus nobody wants to be caught dead driving a 3 year old BMW. It’s already on its last leg by that point.

      Likely a lease in that case. Common practice for people that like always driving the newest cars. It’s a bit more expensive than buying, and you don’t end up owning a car. But significantly cheaper than renting. So you do have to be in a position where it’s worth the cost to you.

        Well, you claim all the fuel and service costs as business expense when leased, so if you drive a lot it can be significantly cheaper

      Why? I love being able to buy a 2 year old BMW for the same price as an equivalent Renault
