Our 5 year lease is ending soon ( August 21), the financing agency says the cost to purchase is $18,000.00 at 8.5%. How do we know if this is the right price? Or if this is even negotiable? A quick search of comparably equipped vehicles with similar mileage (72,000) shows most going for 14,500-14,995.

Is this leased through Toyota Motor Credit or someone else? From what I've found, Toyota won't negotiate the buy-out price. So whatever is stated as the residual in your original contract, that's what you'll have to pay. It sounds like you've already answered the question that it's not worth $18k...walk unless there's a good reason you should pay an extra $3k for it. If it's leased through another leasing company, they might negotiate a lower price if you ask.

It is financed thru Wells Fargo. I,m going to see if there is room to negotiate. If WF recovers the vehicle, well, they're facing wholesaling it for some 9k. I just want to see if they can get closer to reality, not 18k!

All you can do is bargain with them. I have heard Toyota insures against their residual values, so they have no incentive to negotiate. I've not directly heard of anyone negotiating with WF, but I highly doubt they were insuring back in 2003-2004.

I have a Hummer H3 lease that is up in Oct. It was a 39 month leases with 15000 miles a year. Can you offer them a lower price than the payoff and how do you go about doing it? Thanks in advance

Depends on who the lender is, and what your buyout is.

Nissan Murano Question

Hi All-
Have a 2006 Murano coming off lease in a few weeks. 20k miles, and the buyout is $19k. Seems like a good deal but would like to be sure. Also, is it correct that I'd pay tax twice? Would I pay tax on just the $19k or the entire value of the car?
Thanks in advance,
Jason

If its an 07, it should bring $18 wholesale. I doubt that GMAC will give you a lower price than your buyout.

You would pay tax on the buyout price.
