I seriously doubt that--- if they wanted to move on the ground allocations they would throw out trunk or on the hood money. The irony is the 5k lease cash made public on the 2019's which kind of softens the residual blow but not enough.

I check autotrader and cars.com on these cars and while its not even close to a complete inventory, the national numbers are in the 120-130's from this site. They are not selling but most stores are housing 1-2 with a few holding more than 3 like yours. There is about 9% in the car from msrp to invoice plus holdback so the dealers have room to move the cars right now and have great residuals. If I was a dealer knowing whats coming with the 19's, I would create a profitable lease add for the 18's where I discount the cars enough to still have some decent gross and rate in the money factor while still clearly beating the 2019 numbers. Because of the 10% drop in residuals from 18 to 19 this could definitely work.
