computers are right, you're wrong. dealers give you different payments because theyre giving you different deals. also dealerships lie; they say "includes everything" (or "out the door") but in reality some fees or taxes may not be included yet. These tactics are just used to "get a customer in the door". Another hugh word trick dealers use is "zero down lease"; oh yeah, sure, it's zero down. but you have to put down your first payment, or fees, or sales tax. it's all pure advertising/marketing gimmicks. don't try to calculate a lease your self, because there's no point. who are you leasing from? youre not leasing from yourself, youre leasing from a dealer. The dealer has the software that's used to calculate payments and to print out contracts. thats the bottom line. trying to calculate a lease yourself wastes everyone's time. do you walk into best buy and argue with the dude at the cash register on how to calculate sales tax on your $2,000 big screen? no. BOTTOM LINE: find the dealer that offers the best out the door payment.

#612 of 662 Leased a 2012 Highlander SE V6 4x4 in NYC by orangeman99

Mar 24, 2012 (6:58 pm)

Car Man, thanks for the info you give to help us.
 
I just leased a new SE V6 4x4 with Tow Prep, Floor Mats, and Remote Starter. I have driven it about 20 miles so far, I love it!!!!
 
My numbers:
  
Tier 1+ credit
36mo/12k lease
$403 + $5 GAP = $408/mo
Down: first month + DMV (transfer)=$533
  
On my lease agreement, the selling price is listed as $35,104, but they gave me a trade-in value of $1563 for my 2009 RAV4 that I returned at lease end (not sure why???), so my effective selling price was 33,541 (MSRP $37,271)
 
This was Star Toyota in Bayside (Queens) NY. My salesman was Anthony Cruz, straight shooter.

Carman,
 
Would you provide the current residual and tier1 money factor for a lease of a 2wd SE V6 for 36 months, 12k miles per year? It has Nav package if that matters. Thanks....I'd like to close a deal this weekend. We are also considering a 2wd Limited.

got the same question... looking for the top tier money factor and residual on a highlander se fwd with both 12k and 15k... this is what i have been quoted thus far...
 
MSRP: $34,505
Cap Cost: $31,759
MF 0.00065
Residual 60% for 12k miles
 
$383/mo (all included) with $633 drive off
 
i haggled them down to $375/mo... which i am kinda happy with, but i want 15k miles and i have excellent credit so i feel that i can get the money factor down lower....

Well, just got back from the dealership and have myself a beautiful new highlander. I ended up getting it for $369.50 per month with tax included. They were going up to $389 for 15k miles. So I decided to leave that and just go for 12k. Otherwise I am incredibly happy at the deal.

Congratulations! Was this for the vehicle that you referred to in your first post. Would you share the final money factor, msrp, sales price, and tax rate. I am still trying..... Thanks.

#620 of 662 2012 AWD SE lease deal in western PA by heywood1

May 09, 2012 (4:03 pm)

Here's what I've been offered on a 2012 Highlander SE AWD.
MSRP: $36,742 (Options: tow prep & mats)
 
MSRP $36,742
Base cap: $34,312
Acquisition fee: $650
Residual: $21,270
Money Factor 0.00065
Lease term: 36 mo.
Mileage: 15,000
Sales tax: 9%
 
Monthly lease payment: $416.88
Sales tax on lease payment $37.52
Total monthly lease payment $425.85
 
This deal includes a $500 lease rebate. Earlier in the year, this would have been a good deal, and it may still be. But the new Highlander will be out in a few months, and I'll be driving yesterday's news. Thoughts?
