AnswerView source ↗
I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Lease rates are determined by Matrix and vary between makes and models, dependent on accessories ordered from the factory and lease term contracts. (2) All 237 V8 vehicles within the Police Service are to be replaced as lease contracts expire. V8 vehicles are located in numerous sections and will be replaced with six-cylinder vehicles. (3) As the replacement of V8 vehicles is planned for when the current contracts expire, any savings will be dependent on varying factors, including residual values at the time of replacement, and, as such, are not quantifiable at this time.
