Hi, Car_Man I'm very interested in the 05 Avalon Limited. Toyota Southeast region (FL)... Been working up numbers off various tools on the net... I'll need to take a vehicle off the lot, so I'm a bit stuck with options I may not really want, but that's the way they come. Anyways, here are some prices... The one in dealer stock I will probably end up getting (hopefully) is: Base: 33,540 Options $4,391 Del, Proc, Hndlg $590 Total MSRP comes to $38,521 Did an Edmunds TMV report for zip code 32835 and invoice comes to $33,719 with all options except rear DVD Entertainment. Prices people are paying is about $1k under MSRP...the car is pretty hot. Supply vs Demand situation. However, from various contacts here...I'm told I should be able to get it for $500-$1000 over invoice after dealing with Internet Mgrs. So, to work up numbers let's say my purchase price will be $34,719 plus dealer fees. For a 36mo/15k miles per year lease... What should the money factor and residual value should be with a FICO of 720-734? I'm not sure if that is Tier 1 credit. Also, what would the monthly payments come to? I want to put as close to zero down as possible. Thanks a bunch in advace, Car_Man. You rock!  Regards, Dean |

Are the super MF and residual numbers for Maxima at 36 months the same for SE and SL models? IF not, which is cheaper? THe cars are essentially equal in price when similarily equipped. THanks I am debating buying vs leasing this car since they also have attractive 2% finance rate on Maxima. I just leased a Pathifnder in March. Thanks again for all the excellent info! |

Hello, I'm looking to lease a Jaguar S-Type 3.0 with premium package and navigation and would like to inquire as to what I should be able to get it for. I'm willing to put money down if it helps me get what I want. Your advice is much appreciated. |

Replying to: suvgal (Apr 17, 2005 8:23 am) I just wanted to add that $3300 included $1400 in rebates, a trade in (after my old financing was paid off) value of $625 and $1275 down. |

Car_Man: I was wondering if you had seen my message #19094. I was wanting the residuals & money factors for the CRV EX & SE models, based on 3 years and 12,000 miles/year. I want to compare to the Element and see if the CRV is a better vehicle to lease. Thanks! |

Hi Car_Man, I am looking at the 2006 GS300 or 2005 LS430 and am trying to find out what the best lease should be for each. For the GS300 the best I have seen in So. Cal is: MSRP: $50,209 Sell Price: $47,995 Residual: $21,589 Money Factor: 0.0017 Term: 48 months Miles: 15,000 / year Down Payment: $2,000 Lease: $666 + Tax For the '05 LS430 I saw the following post from 12/2004 and am wondering if this is realistic or I might even be able to do better. MSRP: $62,489 Sell Price: $54,552 Residual: $35,562 Money Factor: 0.00188 Term: 36 months Miles: 12,000 / year Down Payment: $1,662 (1st payment+$200 down payment+$495 dealer fee+ some additional fees) Monthly Payment: $738 (including 6% tax) Finally, what would I expect to add for 15,000 miles/year? Thanks! |

Hi savethefleas. Interesting username. Toyota has not been providing any sort of lease support on Scion models. As a result, if you were to lease one through its captive finance company, you would have to use its standard lease money factors. The last time that I saw, Toyota Financial Services' standard money factor for Scion models, it was around .00225 for Tier 1 customers who pay a security deposit. I have not seen this model's residual values lately though. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum |
