-Yes. The second major factor that determines your lease payment is your vehicle's residual value at the end of the lease. It is possible for two vehicles to have the same adjusted capitalized cost, but for one vehicle's payments to be lower because it holds its value for a longer period. To put it another way,sometimes a more expensive car that holds its value longer costs no more to lease than a less expensive car. Which is why we say that leasing is an easy way to get more car for your money.
