Stiggs - That was "residual" rather than "resale" value. Meaning that the leasing companies may be getting "stuck" with CLK's being turned in with high residuals yet having fairly low resale values. I saw residual values in another post of 72% for 24-month period. That's pretty darn high so this award seems to make sense.
