The difference in Resale Value between the Buick
ParkkAvenue and Toyota Avalon is over nine thousand
dollars and the Avalon is a much better automobile. The
difference between the Cacillac and the Avalon is
over ten thousand dollars. Don't forgtet that when you
lease an automobile with low resale value you are probably
paying a higher monthly payment than an automobile with
high resale value; so you are paying more for a lower quality car.
