A quality corded drill will give you many more years of service
for the same money.
Are you looking for a salesman?
Assuming an ordinary person who does things around the house, yard,
or car, the time/effort savings will make up for that many times
over. Then there's the safety factor of not having a live cord get
in the way when you are working. A cordless drill is a must-have for
most drill users.
Expect a cordless drill to die in a few years.
I have a cheap Skil 12 V cordless drill that has lasted for five
years.

Let's see, you need to take a drill up on the roof. You take your corded
drill up. All you have is a round extension cord because you cut your
flat cord with the corded saw when using it. You step on the round cord.
Whoops.! 32ft/sec/sec. Hey you on the ground with your tibia at 45
degrees. Is that a round pencil impaled in your chest? Shame on you!
Don't you know you're suppose to use flat carpenters pencils on a roof?!
Expect a cordless drill to die in a few years.
Which may be longer than the exclusive corded drill owner.
Let's see, you need to take a drill up on the roof. You take your
cordless drill up. The battery dies. Your spare battery is over by the
ladder, and you can't quite reach it. Trying, you injure your shoulder
(and actually push the spare battery off the roof, where it falls on
your wife's head. She yells and leaves to complain to a neighbor), and
are not able to finish the job or climb down. You wish you hadn't
forgotten your wireless phone, that could have been used to call for
help.

Let's see. You are going up on the roof. You need two minutes, tops, three
minutes of drill time. Which drill do you use?
Let's see. You are going up on the roof. You will need two hours, maybe
four of drill time. Which drill do you use?
Wait. Wait. I know this one.
