Great SUV. However, there's no fucking way this thing will maintain 76% of its value in 2 years. MSRP is $80k. I bet it'll drop down to the 40's by the time I give this back in 2 years. |

Are you sure you didn’t pay $6995 towards TTL or something (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5791855&forum_id=2в#49389456) |

Date: October 30th, 2025 11:19 PM Author: titillating love of her life casino A down payment for a Lease is stupid because it doesn't create equity. If I get into a wreck, then that dp is gone forever.
In terms of pricing, you are paying the difference between the MSRP and the "estimated" residual value at the end of the term. The manufacturers are literally guessing just how much the car is going to drop in value over the course of 24/36 months or whatever.
GM wants to moving these things quickly, especially with the EV Credit being taken away by Trump. So they artificially inflate the Residual Value so that you end up paying less money for the terms.
It's all made up. |

They know that EV's do not hold their value well and so they are trying to get them off of their lots as quickly as possible.
They also know that you can always go to the other dealer in town and get a better offer, so they're willing to bend over backwards and even lube it up for you. |

Date: October 31st, 2025 12:38 AM Author: titillating love of her life casino It's definitely $20k coming out of my pocket to rent a car for 2 years.
But it's not a piece of shit at all. It's actually a quality design that I've had my eye on for awhile.
Plus, after 2 years I'm sure I can find a good deal on a Vistiq that I can cop for good. |

Date: October 31st, 2025 1:24 AM Author: Bateful topaz juggernaut garrison you really can't think of another car that would only depreciate by 20k in two years? I just do not see the appeal of something you recognize the market already knows is sps and will not give you money for used under any circumstances (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5791855&forum_id=2в#49389564) |

Date: October 31st, 2025 3:51 PM Author: titillating love of her life casino I want to drive a new version of this vehicle with all the fancy bells & whistles.
I can either finance it for $80k (lol!)
Or lease it.
If it turns out that I don't like it after a couple years, then i give the thing back and I don't have a 5 year lease payment hanging around my neck.
