One could argue that buying a car with 50% residual doesn't make much sense either. Your 50K car will still only be worth 25K after 3 years.

Buying vs leasing doesnt really make a difference. They are both worth the same amount after the term so right now with the current numbers, its not financially savvy to buy or lease.

Point is - 50% is very unattractive for a lease because the payment will be much higher. However, that doesn't make purchasing a vehicle that depreciates at that clip any better. (especially a first year model right off the assembly line)
