Stateside, we saw 54% for 15k miles in Sept/Oct of 2017 or 58% for 7500 miles per year. They dropped in Q1 of 2018.
So your Canadian adjustments were mirrored or vice a versa.

I printed out the residual info (24 ; 66% and 36 months 58% ) at the time so I have a reference when it's time to sell my car

Problem is if you try to transfer that lease before its maturity, you have to convince someone to give you money so you effectively get your remaining MSDs back. And I’ve seen time and time again that while people are more than willing to take over a low lease payment, they don’t want to part with money upfront (even if they are told they will get it back) for a used car.

Acquisition and disposition fees and the Benz rate are just terrible.
I remember giving back CL 500 in 2005 and they sent me a bill for $3000 for a windshield and had a fuzzy picture of a window crack. I want to the dealership where I turned it in and they had in fact bought the car but the people handling the lease turn in we’re still trying to get money out of me for something that didn’t occur as that windshield was undamaged. Had the sales manager call the Benz rep saying no windshield damage and it was their car, why aggressively trying to extort $$.
No more leases for me.
