Once you have kept a car for 5-7 years, depreciation isn't that big of a deal. For what it's worth, I purchased my Cayenne E Hybrid, and have no reservations about it, could care less about depreciation, or the future battery improvements (seeing as how the LCI on the Panamera already has a larger battery, mine will be "obsolete" in about 2 years). Lastly, if you lease, the dealer should take the $7500 off "purchase price" as the dealer will then file for the credit, if they don't they are being shady.
