residual changes based on the term chosen, the shorter the term, the less you are obligated to pay. it's really simple, if you are getting out in 6 months, you just need to find a term that you would pay the least, and be able to get out after.

because any vehicle depreciates, and being able to get out of a lease 6 months in is....impossible on anything that has a bad resale value.

After 6 months, if you are to get out of a lease, the dealer will appraise you car according to market, and they evaulate how much you are still owing on the truck (your remaining lease payments plus residual), and that's the "penalty" you pay to get out early.
