After all these posts, I'm going to assume this is true, as no one has refuted it. That being the case, if I wanted to only keep the car for two years (and actually I also considered a 2 year lease), seems like it would be better to buy and sell it in two years. The car is not going to depreciate 43% in two years. Conservatively, I suspect it would depreciate, in real world numbers, about 12k-13k for a 2SS (roughly 45k sale price). So you'd end up losing
less money by buying then selling the car in 2 years, rather than a 2 year lease at 57%. GM must be crazy.
