I wonder what happened to @delta737h but he had a really cool way to show how the net impact for the $7,500 as a cap cost reduction or residual subevention were very close (variability due to tax rates and money factors). So @carjunky , you are getting the benefit of the $7,500 and GM didn’t pull one on you.
The $7,500 as a residual subvention basically removes the benefit from doing a lease then refi-buy-out to get the vehicle and pocket the $7,500.
