I need to figure out what to do with the wife's Pacifica Touring L in a couple of months when my lease runs out. Our buyback on it is $19,467.00, and even though we're way under the allotted miles on it (11,600 / 30,000) it doesn't look like I'm getting much more than that if it do try to flip it on a trade. She wants the new AWD variant, so I guess the move is just roll another lease on one of those? I can't justify buying one of these new based on how quickly they depreciate, and since it's new there aren't any used AWD's on the market right now.
My personal method of "buy lightly used German sports car after initial depreciation, sell in 2-3yrs before second big depreciation" doesn't really play well with this arena
