GM CFO Chuck Stevens said used GM vehicles in the leasing portfolio will drop about seven percent this year, with depreciation exceeding expectations in Q1, especially for crossovers, and prices could fall up to three percent next year. Ford had previously trimmed its lending unit profit outlook by 300 million dollars.
