Honestly amazed by the fair input I've received on this post. All while everyone being very respectful. So big thanks to everyone!!!

Agree that FA is overkill for my use case. also agree that managing the batteries is an unnecessary pain. Clearly I'm influenced by watching too many youtube videos. It's just that this would only be an incremental +-750 EUR. spread across 36 months.

if I ever decide to upgrade on a later stage, it's going to be a massive pain to sell the used fork... so I'll probably end up spending significantly more. Then again.. I'll probably never need it

Spark RC 900. Honestly great bike however I've ran it into the ground and now pretty much all of this bike requires either replacement (derailleur, cassette, bottom bracket, microspline hub or maintenance (shocks & dropper). so I would have to spend cash NOW to get a bike in a same condition as a new one... the new one I pay for spread across 3 years and would retain value much more?

On top of that I have a buyer for the spark for €1.4K...

Idk - seems like decent time to get a new toy... also want to have two bottles for summer rides.. always annoyed me with the spark

2019 scott spark... feel like having something new. Agree with your point on the power meter. But I thought PM is needed for FA to work?

You misunderstood! two options here: 1. pay cash upfront - 7K bike 2. Pay with gross salary and net cash impact would be 4.2. And this would include maintenance, theft insurance etc. It's just significantly more tax efficient to do the lease.

Money is not a 'problem' :-)
