2006 Highlander Hybrid Ltd 2wd Texas by reorg

Can anyone give me the numbers on a 2006 Highlander Hybrid Ltd 2wd Texas lease? Dealer has stated that they will give us invoice on the vehicle (just bought a fully loaded Prius from them three days ago). Looking at a 60 month lease and 12K per year.

I don't have the exact numbers on a 5 year lease, but Toyota is currently offering a special money factor of .00075 on a 36 months lease. So, right now, a 3 year lease might have lower payments than 5 year lease, plus you are not tied to the car as long.
 
Most people do not lease for 5 years. The conventioanl wisdom is to lease for the length of the bumper to bumper warranty (for example, 3 yr 36k miles for Toyota). You may consider financing it if you are planning to keep it that long. You would have paid most of the depreciation for Toyota in those 5 years, since they own the car during a lease. In financing, you may end up making larger payments in those 5 years, but after 5 years, the car will be paid off. In a lease, after 5 years, you may still owe about 45-50% of the original value.

According to message #45, the residual is 34%, which means you would have helped Toyota pay 66% of the value of the car. The money factor in that message shows .00245.
 
This is only an example for illustration purposes to show the diff bet a 3 year and 5 year lease, with the special money factor on the 3 year. MSRP of $39,351 and a cap cost of $36,000. On a 3 year lease w/ residual at 57% and MF at .00075, the payment is about $400/mo plus tax. On a 5 year lease with residual at 34% and MF at .00245, payment is about $500 a month.
 
I believe on the Hybrid there is a special 3.9% financing for 5 years.

Okay, just got off the phone with Toyota of Richardson. Price on a fully loaded 2WD Ltd Hybrid plus DVD is 37830. The tax rate is 1.2% (they are applying a credit to sales tax), 36 month lease, .00075 money factor, 20,839 residual on 15,000 miles per year. They tell me the payments are going to be $644/mo (nothing down). I ran the numbers on the calculator on this site and get $563 +/-. They want me to come in and show them the numbers. Does $644 sound right?

I wish someone would post Toyota's way of calculating lease payments. It seems like the prices are all over the map.

644 is way high for the price you are looking at with the money factor of 0.00075. I think they probably charge you MSRP or more.
 
Here is the formular for calculation 36 months lease in California where tax is added to each month of payment (for my city, it is 8.5%)
 
Monthly payment = (rent + depreciation)*(1+tax rate)
 
Depreciation = (cap - residual)/36
rent = (cap + residual)*MF
 
MF - money factor. look like it is 0.00075 for Highlander Hybride which translated to 1.8%
 
Cap is the negotiated price for the vehicle+ all the misc. charge (document fee, license etc.) if it is not paid upfront.
 
For 664, you should be able to get a lexus RX350 instead.

MF & Residual for 2WD V6 Base Highlander by gmanusmc

CarMan (or anyone who has the info). Would like to know the MF & Residual for this vehicle's 36 month, 12k & 15k Lease. Also as some others have asked, anyone know how Toyota figures the residual they use to calculate their leases? Kinda frustrating after years of leasing Honda products where the pricing and leasing terms are much more simplified.
 
Thanks In Advance, Bill G

My calculations came to be $563.36 (they are giving us a 5.05% credit against the 6.25% tax (i.e., the tax rate is 1.2%).
