Argumont is decision support. It is not tax, legal, real estate, or financial advice. Licensed work stays with licensed people.
What to score
Total paid over the years you will use the car, mileage caps, wear fees, and what happens if the job changes. Buying used can beat both if the history is clean.
The ad payment is not the decision.
How Argumont treats it
Lease, buy new, and buy used can be options. User-confirmed annual miles move the score. Missing residual or fee terms should lower confidence.
