CarMan, Can you advise what the MF and Resid is on the Limited for 36 months, 12k and 15k per year? Did these rates get better than previous months. I can't imagine lease rates getting any worse than they have been for the Highlander.

Replying to: AXM23 (Feb 13, 2009 3:12 pm) Toyota's March lease program for the Highlander is definitely more attractive than its February program was, but it would be very difficult to predict where it will head from here. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum |

Replying to: AXM23 (Mar 05, 2009 5:27 am) Keep in mind though that the residual value percentages that TFS publishes are for base MSRPs. It places restrictions upon what options can be residualized. Doing so makes vehicles' effective residuals lower than its published numbers, not to mention difficult to calculate. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum

Replying to: Car_man (Mar 20, 2009 2:50 am) I'm new here, first post. My 2006 Rav4 Sport lease is ending in 3 months. The dealer I leased at has already called me to come in and look at new cars. Am I going to get a better deal for being a repeat customer? I'm in NYC. I'm looking at Highlander 4x4 (either base or Sport). I trying to get a ballpark figure of a lease payment for a 36/10 or 36/12, with no money down. I'm looking at ones with MSRP around $30-32k. I have excellent credit. What are the MF and residual? Can those be negotiated or are they given by the dealer? Is the Highlander really popular in this area? Are dealers willing to negotiate much? I can't find this info.  Thanks for your help.

Just to throw more fuel on the fire.......... A week ago, I asked a dealer in Central Ohio for lease quotes on both the Highlander and the RAV4, 3 yrs, zero down, 12k miles. The payments were about what everybody here has experienced. What shocked me were the residuals: Highlander, MSRP $37,600., residual $17,515. RAV4, MSRP $30,255., residual $17,815. I guess that tells you something about the leasing company's expectations for larger SUVs.

Replying to: iamknott (Apr 01, 2009 7:00 pm) The one nice thing about a realistic residual is that if per chance you fall in love with your car and want to buy it out at lease-end, chances are that on a Toyota, the residual will be pretty close to what the market's fetching. Like Car_Man has said numerous times, Toyota sets a residual for each individual vehicle and not just one percentage straight across the line. People often think that by adding equipment like NAV and rear dvd systems etc. will increase the resid, when in fact, it usually lowers it.

Replying to: orangeman99 (Mar 28, 2009 7:18 am) Toyota Financial Services' new New York region buy rate lease money factor for the 2009 Highlander is a very attractive .00028 for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier. This is the lowest money factor that the dealer is allowed to charge you. Highlanders are popular vehicles, but dealer grosses on them are low...particularly in the retail environment that we find ourselves in today. If I was in the market for an '09 Highlander right now, I personally would shoot for a selling price of slightly over dealer invoice. You should be able to get pricing feedback from other consumers who are in the market for similar vehicles by visiting the "Toyota Highlander Prices Paid and Buying Experience" discussion.
