2006 Sienna lease end but chipped windshield by twinmom1
Jan 20, 2009 (9:21 pm)

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.

Hi twinmom1. Whether you should replace your windshield or not probably depends upon how big the chip in it is. Is if very noticeable and already spidering? Or is it small enough that it could possibly be overlooked during the inspection. If it is at all noticeable, you probably will be better off replacing it on your own rather than getting dinged for it by the bank that you are leasing through.
 
You're right, it doesn't make sense to claim your windshield on your insurance. I never do.

Hi jrm005. Toyota's lease program often varies depending upon which one of its twelve regions one is in. You never mentioned what state you are in, but the most widely available special money factor for the 2009 Sienna right now is .00158 for consumers who qualify for Toyota Financial Services' top credit tier.

I am looking to lease a 2009 Sienna LE in Ohio for 12,000 miles for 36 months. Can someone tell me the Residual Value Percentage and the Money Factor so that I may calculate a ballpark lease payment.
 
Also, should I use the "TMV Price" or the MSRP from Edmunds.com with either BEFORE or AFTER any incentives to calculate the net capitalized cost?
 
Thanks in advance.

Definetly replace it yourself, I have leased 6 vehicles in the last 15 years and that and tires are the first things they look at.
If you have to pay dealer list for a windshield it will probably be double what you would pay to have an independent glass installer come to you and fix or replace.
 
Trust me on this one.

I am in North Carolina. Has the MF or residual changed for February?

Hi RedBlueFish. Here's the information that you're looking for. Toyota Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Toyota Sienna LE with 12,000 miles per year in its Cincinnati region are .00158 and 48%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier.
 
Keep in mind though that TFS places restrictions upon what options can be residualized, making it difficult tor consumers to calculate the actual dollar residual values for specific vehicles.
 
The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Shop around for the lowest possible price on the '09 Sienna that you want, ideally one that is as close to dealer invoice as possible, and then have the dealer calculate your van's lease payment. Toyota's current customer cash incentive on this model is not compatible with its special lease program.

What's with the residuals and money factors? by isingh

My 2006 LE's lease is coming up in a couple of months. Just visited a couple of dealers and was flabbergasted by the current residuals and money factors. I leased the 2006 LE with one power door, garage opener etc with 0 drive off - $338/month including california taxes. The same car today will cost me more than 475 a month? The residuals have been lowered from 60% in 2006 to 45% in 2009. The money factors are terrible!
 
I don't get, in this economy, while this dealer has an inventory of over 80 siennas on the lot, they are trying to sell me the same car for 50% more than what I pay for it right now? What in the name of *#&$*#&$ is going on?
 
Anybody have any explanations for this? Any strategies other folks in the group have used?
