Are lease rates really that high?
I bought a new fully-loaded 2019 Limited for around $55k (MSRP $70k). After 5 years I figure I can get around $35k for it if I'm lucky (does that sound reasonable)? So that means if I wanted to hop right back into another fully loaded 2024 Limited for around $55k (MSRP $70k, although I'm sure prices will inflate) and it would cost me $20k after selling my previous truck.
That's $20k every 5 years with that pattern, or $4k a year, or around $340 a month. Even if we push that up to like $400 a month, that's still cheaper than the leases being mentioned.
Am I doing the math wrong or are leases just way more expensive?
