Buy R1T used or lease new R1T?
I’ve read a million posts and know that if buying I should focus on maybe 2024 or late 2023. OG Quad Launch could be a good bet too because kinks likely have been worked out.
But I am scared of the age vs price of these trucks. Yes, I know it’s still a stellar deal if I pay 60-70k on a truck with 1-2 year comp warranty as they cost 80-100k new at that time. But I also read about the nightmare repairs and how we don’t know how they will hold up. Reading plenty of current owners who are planning to offload before 5/60k warranty is up because they are nervous about pricey repairs.
So…what’s the deal? Just gotta take the gamble and hope for the best?
Anyone driving a Rivian with a lot of miles and doing ok? For reference we are driving 16 and 18 year old Toyotas and we drive them into the ground- in Colorado so driving the passes a bunch or going on some mild off road to get to trails but with a bunch of dirty gear and dirty dogs so that was my hesitation to lease.
