You had 5 valid reasons for not buying the 2023, then couple posts later, you're back on the bandwagon. Seems to me you've made up your mind (or maybe not).
I think the smoking deal days are done here in the states too. My last good deal was in 2019, and I bought a 2017 Ram 3500, with 15 miles on it, for ~20K off. Had to drive out of state to get it, but was a good deal. Sold my 2014 Ram 2500 for more than I bought it used.
I used to buy my wife a new car every 3 years. 6 years ago I decided to give leasing a try. First lease worked out fine, wasn't a big loss. Second lease, I brought it back and it was worth more than the lease payoff. That rarely happens, but timing was right with all the issues with computer parts etc slowing down inventory. I decided to buy the car vice go another lease route. Not too many people make money (or equity) on leased vehicles.
