Residual set by DOLLAR amount? by a6_to_m35
Jun 24, 2008 (6:51 pm)
Reply
I too am buying a Highlander Sport fully loaded in NJ or PA and I cannot get a dealer to quote a percentage residual value. They will only come up with a number.
 
For a car with a 40k MSRP, residual value has been quoted by one dealer at $19196 or about 48%, and another at $18564 or about 46.5%.
 
These are very, very low numbers and I can't seem to be able to negotiate them. I have never seen this before. Can anyone shed any light on this subject?
 
I've also been told that Toyota Finance does not include GAP insurance for its leases and was quoted $525. Sound right?
 
Also can the $550 aquisition fee be negotiated away or is it a must?

Toyota sets a different residual value on each vehicle based on it's options - it's not a set 50%, 55%, 68%, etc. like some manufacturers. Whatever residual value they are quoting is what they have - it's non-negotiable.

Yes, but negotiate that somewhere between $200 - $400.

No, this is a one time fee that goes to TFS for originating the lease. Dealers can and have been known to mark this up, so be sure that it stays at $550. You can pay it upfront or cap it into your lease payments.

Need some help. These are the figures I am being giving by the dealer on a 15k/36 month 08 Base Highlander lease:
MSRP: $ 27679.00
Sale price :$25350.00---cap cost w/acquisition fee: $25,945.00
36 months w/15000 miles yr.
money factor .00219
residual rate .48
monthly pymt. $377.17
up front money at time of signing :$393.67
 
I really like the deal, but my figures show that the payment should be closer to $420 before taxes. What gives?

Yeah, something is amiss with their numbers. I'm showing ~$437/mo (not including tax) with the numbers you provided. You might wanna' give them a call and ask them to run through the structure with you again.
 
Only $393.67 due at signing? Cheap registration in your state??

Hi pmelanc1. Toyota's lease program varies by term, mileage allowance, and region. You never mentioned what any of these variables are, so I'll make some guesses just to give you a rough idea of what this truck's current program is like. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease in Toyota's New York region with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. TFS' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of an '08 Highlander Limited 2WD in its New York region with 15,000 miles per year are .00087 and 50%, respectively.
 
As was mentioned above, keep in mind that TFS places restrictions upon what options can be residualized and caps on the ones that it allows. This makes it difficult to calculate the actual dollar residual values for specific units from the percentages.

I was quoted around the same MSRP 28,105, and sale price of 25,572 (base 4x2).
toyota guy would not give me a residual percentage but rather a dollar amount of 14,400 (decent). 36m 12K was around 394.00 with taxes with about 500.00-600.00 down. According to my calculations should be around 405.00-410.00 a month. Just outside of Philadelphia, so I am not sure either.

Sport Lease Question by kasey36

I'm hoping I can get some opinions on a lease quote I just received via the internet. I'm new to leasing and have been searching for a Highlander Sport for a while now. I'm on Long Island and qualify for Tier 1 financing. The quote I received was for $435 a month, with taxes, titles, etc. out of pocket. Is this a good deal? Thanks for any help.
