There's two groups of people I can think of that do this: - People who like to frequently change cars, not so frequent as to lease but still prefers to let it go between 50-100KMi. (Contrast folks who sell past 100k or drive cars into the ground, they care more about long term repair cost.) - People who are using resale value as a proxy for reliability. I suppose 'lease-e' may fall into this category, also by proxy (as high resale value means lower depreciation, lower lease cost.)
