You usually can’t. Since leasing companies can set residual values as they see fit, the only way to get the actual residual value being used for a specific car, from a specific dealer, who uses a specific leasing company, is to ask. Some dealers will provide you this information; some will not. We provide estimated average residual values for all new makes/models of vehicles in the Residual Calculator in our Lease Kit so that when you get your actual residual value, you can determine if it’s good, average, or not-so-good.
