One thing to consider is how bad they depreciate once the "buy back" goes into affect. I would be betting the retail/resale value will drop like a rock.

Depreciation has already happened.  This is why they using Sept 2015 NADA values. 

Wow, that's a bummer, I would take a real close look at the buy back. It might be hard to get any decent value later. That really would not matter if you like the vehicle though.
Only 2 defining forces sacrificed themselves for you:
The American Soldier and Jesus Christ. One died for your freedom, the other for your soul.

My rock,
He trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle.

Why would this affect value?

It would effect the price because of supply. There will be thousands of them for sale, dealers will blow them out.

Cool.
Maybe a great deal on another one.
The demand for these cars isn't going away.
