Residual Awards
Mar 06, 2012
The residual value - what the vehicle is worth at the end of the lease period - as a percentage of the original price of the vehicle is a strong indicator of the value in any particular vehicle lease. A test of vehicles with similar MSRP and a look at the residual values of the vehicles will indicate which is going to offer the best value lease. The higher the residual - the more confident the manufacturer is obtaining maximum acceptance of the vehicle in market at the end of the lease period - the lower the monthly payment.
The following is a list of vehicles with the highest residual values published by ALG.
