Hi John. The residual value that you were quoted to lease a Toyota Land Cruiser looks a little low to me as well. Toyota Financial Services' 2 year, 15,000 miles per residual value for this truck is currently 61%. Even its 3 year residual value for it is 56%. Given the fact that Toyota has not been providing any sort of lease support on the Land Cruiser, I would not be surprised if the dealer that you are speaking with is running your lease of it through an independent bank. Still, the independent bank would have to have one heck of a low money factor on this vehicle to make up for the low residual value that you were quoted. Lexus Financial Services' current base lease money factor and residual value for a 3 year, 15,000 miles per lease of a 2005 GX 470 without navigation or the rear entertainment system should be .00225 and 57%. Porsche Credit's current base lease money factor and residual value for a 3 year, 15,000 miles per lease of a 2005 Cayenne S should be .00260 and 55%. Volkswagen is scheduled to publish a new lease program for the Touareg in the next day or two. Given the lack of support on the other trucks that you mentioned and the fact that VW is providing dealer cash and lease support on the '05 Touareg, I have a feeling that this might be the least expensive of your list to lease right now. Feel free to post a reminder for me late this week and I will try to give you an idea of what VW's May lease program is like for this truck. Car_man Host Smart Shopper Forum

In New Jersey, my mom went shopping for a Highlander AWD. The dealer provided the base money factor (.00106) and residual value of 62%, as well as a very fair selling price ($50 over invoice). However, they computed the residual value not on the full value of the MSRP ($31,690), but in the following way: 62% of base MSRP (before options) of $27,590 = $17,105.80. Approximately 28% of options of $4,100 = $1,148. Total = $18253.80, instead of 62% of $31,690 = $19,647. Is this standard Toyota Financial practice? Is this something the dealer has the option of doing? In other words, is it negotiable to have them residualize the entire dollar amount of the options/entire amount of the MSRP? Obviously, if this is done, then the lease amount will be lower (approximately $30-40/month or so). Thanks for your help. Damon |

Replying to: keystone (May 03, 2005 6:58 am) 0.00154 and 60% for 36/36k on the EX-L (no NAV) 0.00154 and 58% for 36/36k on the EX-L (w/NAV) If the dealer offers you a lot higher rate, you might wait and see if some new specials come out from Honda in the next few days. Dennis |

Are the new MF and Res numbers out yet for May on the Altima and Maxima? SE models. Also, In NY,When you trade in a vehicle its value is used against the purchase price of the new vehicle when figuring sales tax....DOes this benefit extend to leasing? I have not traded in on last few cars I leased and don't remember..Planning to trade this time. ALso..Does the Altima SE lease program include the SE-R model?

Car_man- Thanks for the info last week on the April Odyssey rates...I'm still in the market and would like to know how things look for May. Specifically I would appreciate MF and residual info on a 36 month 12k lease in SoCal. Both for the Touring Model and the EX Leather. Thanks! |
