Hey Bo. Toyota is not providing lease support on the new 2008 Highlander. That means if you want to lease one through Toyota Financial Services, you will have to use its standard lease program. I haven't seen its standard money factor for your area lately, but I suspect that its buy rate for Tier 1+ customers is probably around .00275.
TFS' current buy 36 month, 15,000 mile per year residual value for the 2008 Highlander Limited or Sport 4WD is 58%. Keep in mind though that unlike most banks, Toyota only publishes residual values for base vehicles. It places restrictions upon what options can be residualized. This makes calculating actual dollar residual values for Toyota models difficult, so much so that it provides its dealers with actual dollar residual values for the vehicles that they have in stock rather than having them use the residual percentages to calculate them.

Hi ratbastid. I am not a big fan of Southeast Toyota. They tend to add unnecessary packages to vehicles to pad their prices. I personally would rather purchase from a dealer outside the Southeast region if possible, however I do not know if you are allowed to do so. Most dealers use the state of residency as the basis to determine the regional incentives that consumers qualify for. Toyota is a little different in that SE Toyota is an independent distributor so you might be able to get away with purchasing out of your region. Unfortunately, I don't know how this works. Try e-mailing a dealer or two outside of your area and ask them how it works. I'd love to know what you find out if you wouldn't mind stopping back and sharing with us.

Greetings acacia379. Toyota is not currently providing any lease support on the new 2008 Highlander. As a result, if you were to lease one through Toyota Financial Services, you would have to use its standard lease program. I haven't seen its standard lease money factor for your specific area recently, but I suspect that it is currently around .00250 to .00275 for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier. TFS' current 36 month, 15,000 mile per year residual value for an '08 Highlander Limited AWD is 58%. Keep in mind though that TFS only publishes residual value percentages for base vehicles. It places restrictions upon which options can be residualized, making it difficult to calculate actual dollar residual values for specific vehicles.

I haven't seen its standard lease money factor for your specific area recently, but I suspect that it is currently around .00250 to .00275 for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier.

Sixty months is way too long to lease any vehicle for. Not only will your truck's basic warranty have expires by the end of your lease, forcing you to pay to fix any non-powertrain problems that your vehicle has out of your own pocket or possibly have to pay an excess wear and tear penalty, but a lot can happen over the course of five years. Your commute for work could change causing you to go way over your mileage limit or waste miles that you have paid for, gas prices could skyrocket causing you to want a more fuel efficient vehicle, you could just plain become board with your vehicle, etc. I always advise consumers to stick to 36 to 39 month leases, 48 months at the longest.

Planning to Lease HL Limited 08

I am planning to lease a 08 HL Limited with Nav and DVD. Can someone help me out. Prices are all over the place.
Anyone from Iowa who got a good deal? One dealer asked for $5000 down (included tax,title, etc) with $590/M. It was Limited, DVD, Nav, Moon Roof, i.e. fully loaded. I backed off as it appeared too high to me.
As there is no lease offers on 08 from Toyota, what is the best way to calculate the right price?
Thanx.

I am in a similar situation of suvgal, in 2006 got into a 5 yr (ludicrist now I realize) lease for a 4cyl Hylander, payments are $425, it has 20,000 miles on it, and we did buy the 14,000 mile per year option just in case, now we realize the mistake we made and would like to get rid of this lease but don't know how to do it or if it would be a crazy thing to do, first I did check with the bank and the pay off figure is $25,136., also checked the value here in the edmond website and is aprx $18,000, don't know what to do, don't want this car any longer, and do feel we were taken by this dealership. Not a very happy camper AT ALL !!!

I want to lease HL 2008 Limited. The price for Limited is $34.100. The question is why should I buy additionally package a ($3000) or package B ($6000)? Why Toyota can’t lease HL 2008 Limited for 34.100?
Thanks
