I keep thinking about it. It's tempting.

But I have this to think about:

• For what purpose would I own this car? I guess to take short distance driving off of the Avalon and therefore extend it's life. But maybe I need to start biking more instead.
  
• I'd have to have this car towed up from Denver. This would be a town-only car. I've tried taking a Leaf out of town, it's not a good experience where I live, especially at -30 °F.
  
• I've been given two cars and now own a total of 4. Two are good enough to be driven around town and two are in condition for road trips. They are all paid off, so that's cheaper than $19/mo. It also means I can just put liability on them, especially the three that are worth less than $1,000. But the last Leaf I owned I paid $180/mo on for insurance alone and it wasn't even new.
  
• Most of my cars have an extra set of winter tires on rims. Doing the same to the Leaf would be another added expense.
• There's no place to get any work done to a Leaf around here. The closest Nissan dealer wouldn't even get me a key made for my last Leaf because "they don't work on EV's."
• The lease is for 2 years. Then what? I don't see myself getting a loan for the remaining $22,000.
