Someone here probably knows this better than I do, but it seems that each Toyota car is residualized differently and the dealers get the residual number for each car from Toyota. I have also heard that the higher up you go in option packages the lower your residual tends to go. I hope that helps.
 
Oh, and for what it's worth in my state (KS/MO) Toyota just yesterday (1.14.09) started a $750 dealer cash incentive with the Prius.

Gerry10, Many Thanks.
 
In looking at the incentives page on edmunds.com, that is also true in NC. So a dealer selling at invoice is still making the $750. Plus holdback. Plus his dealer prep profits.

Hey gerry10. If you haven't pulled the trigger on your Prius lease yet you're in luck. Toyota recently enhanced its incentives on this model in most regions. In most regions, Toyota Financial Services' new enhanced buy rate lease money factor for the 2009 Prius is now .00151, for consumers who qualify for its "Tier 1+" credit tier.
 
TFS' 36 month, 15,000 mile per year residual value for the '09 Prius is 61%. The resid for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year would be 2% higher. Keep in mind though that these percentages are for base models with no options.

Well that's about right. We already pulled the trigger (just a week ago!). Does anyone know if I have any chance at all to get Toyota to give us the new lease rate? I can't imagine the answer is yes, but it never hurts to ask right?

Well just got this from one of my local dealers:
 
We must go by SOUTHEAST TOYOTA and not Toyota Financial Services. It must not be in this region. We have called TOYOTA JUST TO MAKE SURE ON MY END. SORRY
 
Anyone else in the southeast seeing this same thing?

Newbie Lease question: Prius by GaryMF
Jan 30, 2009 (12:29 pm)

I am new to this site..have been reading the Top 10 lists etc.
 
I live in New York and don't own a car but am moving to the Bay Area and need to buy one.
 
I love the Prius (I rent them often via Zipcar) and want to get one once I'm there. I was planning on leasing since I'd rather not make a 5 year commitment right now.
 
In the NY Metro area they are advertising a lease special of $219 for a 5 year leas but like $2600 down. It expires in Feb 2.
 
The article on here suggets that paying a lot up front is stupid. I also wasn't planning on getting the car till I move (although my company will pay for me to move a car if need to).
 
When I go on Toyota.com it seems like to lease a base Prius in SF is like $460.
 
Any advice on how to approach this?
 
I have only owned 1 car ever 20 years ago.
 
I want a Prius but doesn't have to be the top of hte line but I would like GPS in it.

My lease deal... by LAPRguy
Feb 01, 2009 (10:09 am)

I've got so much info reading this forum for years, so thought I would return the favor on my deal yesterday:
 
Prius, Magnetic Grey, Package 6:
Drive off: 717.89
Monthly payment: 406.19 including tax ($374 I think without tax)
Terms: 36 months
Mileage: 15K per year
Cap cost: 26966.99
Residual: $15784.
Money factor: .00151
 
Negotiated this all online, with a local dealership that was willing to deal via email (sent out several emails, only 2 got back to me). Very easy purchase. Hamer Toyota in Mission Hills was aggressive in price right off the bat, and it certainly helped that they recently reduced the money factor and MSRP. Curious what the new deal will be in a few days, but felt I got a good deal on a car that made little sense to lease until now (IMHO).
 
Best of luck to you all! And thanks to all who contribute their experiences...it really educated me and made me a better buyer.
