Question: Lifts on Tundra Crew & Warranty by rjsuzuki

Question: Lifts on Tundra Crew & WarrantyI ordered a 08 Tundra Crewmax 4x4 this week. I am going to put a lift on it when it comes in through the delearship (they send it out). I went to 3 different Toyota delearships and asked about the lifts. One said that I can get a lift no more than 6"'s (which is what I want), the other two said no more than 3" (which is okay). Does anyone know the answer? Are there any articles? If you have a lifted Tundra, do you like the lift.
 
Thank you,
 
Rich from Phoenix, AZ.

Assume Tundra Lease - deal or no deal? by cb1000rider

2007 Toyota Tundra Crewmax Limited Pickup, 5.7L
 
Anyway - I've heard that for people (my wife) that like to turn over cars < 3 years, leases are an attractive option. There's a lease "assumption" that's available quasi-locally (private party) that I'm considering: 2007 Tundra, 5.7, 4wd, crew cab. Est purchase price $41k $5000 down (I pay the guy currently leasing it) Lease started in 7/2007. 12k/year mileage allowance (this is OK, as the wife could walk to work) Currently has 8500 miles. Lease cost: $339/mo for a total of 36 months (from 7/2007) I believe the residual is: 56% Deal / no deal? The payments are unusually low - he says he put $7500 down + some trade it, which is why he's asking for the $5k. General comments?

Be careful putting 5k down on any lease. What happens if you total the truck the day after you take over the lease? - you lose the 5k!

I wouldn't do it. You would end up paying $14,492 to drive a vehicle for 28 months which works out to $517.57 a month. You can work a better deal from the dealer and get a 2008 without any miles on it. They are offering SR-5's for $289 with $1999 down at my local dealer.

I will bet you $ to donuts that you can lease that 40k truck new with no money down for under 500 month. If you are inclined to put 5k down on it (which I wouldnt do) payment would be substantialy less.
Remember, you need to work a deal just like buying it. I have seen those 40k trucks going for as much as 10k off, with rebates (currently 2750 I think)
Lets say you can lease that 40k truck for say 33k. You pay any tax/fees.
I bet it would be close to 450. New, no miles and cash left in your pocket.
I'm just estimating of the top of my head but I have leased 5 toyota trucks over the last 20 years.
Their is also a web sight I stumbled across once that had leases from all over the country you could assume. Pretty much any make model you could want.
BMW, Lex, toy, american. I noticed some very sweet deals but didnt investigate any closer. Do a google or two and I bet you could find it.
And in regards to money down. Fine when you buy it, when its paid you have equity, you can perhaps get the downpayment back in a sale or trade. When you lease their is RARELY any equity to trade.
Good luck.

Don't do it. Current TFS money factors on NEW Tundras equal less than 1% for Tier 1 + customers, and even for Tier 3, mf equates to roughly 4%. Cheap money all the way around!
 
Look for a brand new one. Pay only 1st mo, tax and dmv's up front, and keep that $5k in your pocket. If you find a truck you like, let me know the window price and I'll run the numbers for you.

MSRP of 42k.
What should the lease payment be for 24-48 months? 12k per year total walk in cash of $1000.00

Hard to say without the VIN as every Toyota carries a different residual value. It's not a straight 53%, 55% etc. like some manufacturers. MF's also vary quite a bit by region, but .00029 -.00059 is what we're seeing for Tier 1+ customers as an average across the nation for the month of March.
 
TFS doesn't do 24 mo leases for 12k annual miles, only for 15k (I know... weird!), But, in my best educated guess, given I don't have the exact residual, mf, and cap cost for a specific truck... with drive offs only, assuming a cap cost reduction/discount of ~$4000, & 7% local sales tax, you'd probably be somewhere bewteen $475-$530/mo on a Tundy that carries a $42k list. Vehicle probably has a residual near 52% for 36 mo and 42% for 48 mo assuming 12k annual miles.
 
Remember, with special subvented money factors, cash rebates do not apply. It's like choosing betwen the rebate and 0% financing on a purchase... you only get one or the other.
 
Again, without an exact truck, I can't give you an absolute.

4x2 CrewMax, limited
Found out the "assumption" wasn't a deal due to asking up front cost.
Also found other websites online that allowed me to compare lease assumptions.
 
Ballpark, I can get into a 33-34k truck + tax for a $399 lease - use that as the "gauge" for new truck leases.
 
Older lease assumptions may be worse, the Tundra was selling much better in 07.
 
Residual.. Well, I haven't figured out if I'd actually want to buy it. No cost for turning it over through Toyota Financial.
 
Anyone know if Toyota Financial will have the ability to negotiate a buyout on a lease - seems like there are going to be a good number of 07 Trucks that sold for higher prices than the discounted 08s and the residuals are going to be bad.
