No need to get into an argument over this as I do whatever my financial advisor says at that time. I'll talk to him about the tax credit vs. the lease write-off and see what he says. Then again I might just say eff it and go buy one unless I can't find one. I might wait until the 'craze' dies down a little so I can get one at invoice less hold back at a local Toyo dealer that I'm in good with.

I currently lease an '06 Tundra and all my other vehicles are paid off. I recently sold a few of my vehicles and at this point am trying to become more economical in my vehicle inventory by narrowing it down. I lease when it makes sense financially and don't do it to get into a vehicle I can't afford as some do so my reasons aren't the same as yours based on your post.
