3rd quarter lease numbers needed for LTD and Hybrid LTD... by wareagle1997
Sep 01, 2008 (7:29 pm)

Car Man-
I will be leasing or purchasing a 2008 Highlander LTD or Hybrid LTD on Sept. 20 in either Tuscaloosa, Ala. or Atlanta, Ga. Can you please provide me with TFS's third quarter money factor and residual for each assuming a 36 mo/12k lease term? Earlier in this forum I saw you posted a .00001 MF on the LTD but that seems too good to be true. Was that a typo?
 
I was also told by the dealer in Atlanta to expect a $3000 cash back incentive to be announced on Sept. 3, and was wondering if this applied to leases as well as cash/financing?
 
Thanks in advance.

questions about potential lease by jk764

I was offered the following for a fully loaded 2008 Limited (7passenger) - 36mth lease at 12k per year:
 
MSRP: $42,350
My price: $39,537
Residual: $18,669
MF: .00001
Zero down, monthly payment (excludes taxes) is $642.
 
Question: Is this a good deal? And should I consider trying to get a lower price and buying instead?
 
Thanks!

your numbers don't add up. with the numbers you gave you should be at $595 + taxes. The money factor I am sure is .00080.

Does this sound way out of whack?
I was just quoted by my local Toyota dealer:
 
2008 Highlander LTD 2WD:
36 mo/12k 43% resid., .00279 MF
48 mo/12k 37% resid., .00279 MF
 
2008 Highlander Hybrid LTD:
36 mo/12k 49% resid., .00279 MF
48 mo/12k 39% resid., .00279 MF

I agree. Should be $620/mth which inc. taxes.
 
My calculation is as follows:
 
Depreciation = $20,868 / 36mths = $579.66/mth + 7% tax of 40.58 = 620 / mth. That's assuming MF is .00001.
 
If I can get Cap cost down to 37,000 or 37,500 would be happy. Will post results ... assuming don't go w/ an XC90.

Hi wareagle1997. The amazingly low money factor that I mentioned earlier is correct. However, it is not available in your area. I believe that the places that you are considering leasing your vehicle in are in Toyota's Southeast region. SE Toyota is an independent distributor that uses its own captive finance company instead of Toyota Financial Services to lease vehicles. Unfortunately, I have not seen its specific lease program for this truck recently.
 
I think that the dealer you spoke with was overly optimistic about the Highlander's cash incentives. According to the latest information that I have seen, Toyota is currently providing $1,500 customer cash on the '08 Highlander in your area in September.

carman,
 
Thanks for this forum. I am about to lease an 08 Highlander Limited. What is the current MF in FL for this vehicle? Are there any hidden costs I should be aware of?
Here are the specs on my vehcile:
Base: 32900
Options: 6198
Handling: 745
Options:
tow prep
rear a/c
Mats w/o SDAT
spoiler
heated seats
power rear door
sunroof
roadside assist

MSRP is $39,893, quoted MF is .00229 on 365 months
 
I think my sales price should be around $36,500, what do you think and what should I expect for a realistic MF?

Here is an offer i got in Northern NJ
2008 Highlander Base 4wd Option B
 
MSRP 31,655
Cap Cost 28,655
Residual 15,794
MF 0.00001
Inceptions/Fees/First month Payment: 1595
Monthly Payment:$361
Tax is $966, paid up front
 
So far the best deal I have been quoted. I am wondering if dealers are willing to go less than that on Cap Cost, According to Edmunds invoice on this car is 27854, so they make about 801 on the car plus their fees. Is it unreasonable given the low demand for SUV's now to get invoice pricing?

MF yesterday I was quoted this by a dealer in the Tampa Bay area:
 
36 mo./ 12K per year:
 
MF - 0.00143
Residual - 49%
 
Personally I'm waiting several more weeks this dealer and several others had loads of 08's on their lots. With the 09's coming in, and the current economic times I think you'll see either rates coming down or dealers wanting to slash prices on 08's. Toyota's US sales, including the Highlander, are waning.
