Socal Sienna in Socal by matcohen
Nov 21, 2008 (4:57 pm)
Reply
I was paying around $298 per month for my no money down (I think it was like $600 at signing - first month and security) and recently asked for a new lease as this is coming up in January.
 
Credit is 800+
 
This will be our third 3 yr lease in a row with Toyota.
 
I was quoted the high $400s because of "low residuals."
So I am considering
1) other options for a lease for a Sienna - am I getting shafted?
2) buying the car as it is in good shape. If residuals are really low, can I negotiate a lower buyback price? My guess is Toyota does not want the car.
3) Is Honda any better?
 
thanks,

Buy vs. Lease by skops

Car Man or anyone else -
 
My question is buy vs lease -
 
2009 Sienna XLE package 4 with some other misc options. Specifics of MSRP, invoice and selling price are not critical to my question.
 
I have a lease quote of approx $520/month for 36 mos and 12k/yr with only 1st month and tags at signing. I can purchase the same vehicle with a payment of $590/month for 60 months at 2.9%. My question is, if I plan to drive the vehicle 10-12k miles per year, is there a clear cut decision to make? Historically, I have always leased and like to get a new car every three years but with the trend in lower residuals coupled with the deep discounts and low interest rates for purchasing, the monthly payment for buying and leasing has narrowed and I am now thinking that even if I buy and then decide to sell the vehicle after three or four years, I might be in a better position than leasing. Your opinion is appreciated. I have used these forums for my last two leases and I made out very well in my opinion. Thanks.

I got a similar deal back in January of 2006. I put $1999 down on an LE 8 seater & have been paying $280/month (36 month lease.) Now I'm getting lease quotes around $350/month. Honda is offering a better lease deal, but I do love my Sienna, especially the 3 seats in the 2nd row....
 
Anyone know of any new lease deals in the Atlantic region? (PA) I can't find any at this time...it's making me nervous because my lease is up on 1/1/09.

Hi skops. I personally usually prefer leasing to buying as well, but in this instance I probably would finance rather than lease. For a little over 10% more you'll actually own the Sienna in a few years rather than walking away with nothing. If it was $375 or $450 vs. $590 it would be a closer race, but for me the purchase wins this one hands down.

Hi alecb2008. Unfortunately, I have not seen what Toyota Financial Services' special lease money factor is for the 2009 Sienna in its Chicago region lately. I can tell you though that its current 36 month, 12,000 mile per year residual value percentage for an '09 Sienna LE AWD is 49%. Keep in mind though that TFS places restrictions upon what options can be residualized, making it difficult for individual consumers to estimate vehicles' lease payments.

Can residual on leased Sienna be negotiated? by josh35
Dec 22, 2008 (7:52 am)
Reply
My lease just ended on 06 Sienna Limited AWD. We are interested in buying it at a fair price. Residual is $21,700 but I'm getting trade offers on the vehicle for $17-19,000. Toyota "inventory control" dept won't budge over the phone. Anyone have any tips for how to negotiate the price, or is it really impossible? I know other mfrs will deal on residuals, but maybe Toyota really won't?
 
Thanks!

Lease Pricing on Limited AWD by land55

Hi Car Man
  
Can you let me know what the latest Money Factor and Residual Value is on a Limited AWD in the New York area, assuming I qualify for Tier 1+ pricing. Thanks very much
  
Would the MF and RV change much if I traded down to a LE AWD?

Hi land55. Toyota Financial Services' current New York region buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Sienna Limited AWD with 15,000 miles per year are .00075 and 45%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier.
 
The money factor for a lease of a non-Limited model would be the same, but the residual value would be 2% higher.

2006 Sienna lease end but chipped windshield by twinmom1
Jan 20, 2009 (9:21 pm)
Reply
I have a close end lease and will be returning my 2006 Sienna but it has a chip in the windshield. I have called them and they said I could replace it with a comparable windshield. Should I do this or will they still replace it with a Toyota windshield and bill me for it anyway?? It is not worth putting it through my insurance because of my deductible and I don't want to end up paying for this twice. Any advice would be great for those who have had their lease end and returned their vehicle.
