You're right on about the lease residual values vs trim levels. Opposite of what you would think, the RV drops as you go up in trim level from Sport to Rubi. That said however, it not a really big spread in RV, but since the MSRP drops quite a bit, yes the payment lowers a lot if you pick the lower trim level (since the RV is highest there). For my Rubi, the RV is 32K in 3 yrs, but here in AZ, Jeeps really hold their value and 3 year old JK Rubis are hight than 32K. I really like my Rubi, so I'm leaning toward purchasing it at the end, so if the market for a 3 year old Rubi is higher than 32K, I could conceivably make money if I buy it, then sell it privately for more.
