There are rare cases where it makes sense! In this case, it's paying ~$1700 per year to lease a car which retails at $34k all in out the door (and we can charge for free everywhere because everyone is a hippie here). The numbers get weird to the point that us getting rear ended MADE us about $7k after netting out the price of the lease. There isn't really a good case that buying a Bolt is more economical than leasing, especially since most states give some incentives.
As an aside, I spend almost all of my time trying to figure out how to squeeze maximum value out of things. There was once a time when credit card companies let you price match black friday deals, so I bought a cargo van (I got a good deal on it, I resold it for a 20% profit!) and loaded it up with about 25 TVs to resell. I also used to resell really really dumb cars, like a Corvette with the interior completely redone in suede and the initials OG stitched into the seats. The amount of time I have to spend on shenanigans has decreased, so each one must be larger now. If anyone has a poorly thought out get rich quick scheme, I will join in this venture with you. Lawn care with mako! Beekeeping with gouda! A crude sexual reference generator with knight! I will join any and all of these enterprises
