Replying to: GaryMF (Jan 30, 2009 12:29 pm) If I was in your situation, I personally would shop around in the New York area for the lowest possible selling price on the Pius that I wanted. Once I found a price that I was comfortable with, I would have the dealer calculate my car's monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor. Toyota Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor for the '09 Prius in its New York region is .00151 for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier.

We just signed papers to lease a 2009 Prius yesterday and just when we thought we were done the finance man tried to sell us a Toyota extra care platinum warranty (3 yr warranty $865). I opted for 15,000 miles per year so I will likely exceed the manufacturer 3yr/36,000 mile warranty. The finance man tried to tell us that the Toyota warranty is great for the 1st year but that Toyota only covers manufacturer defects for the following 2 years. He used an example of heat (we live in Phoenix) causing an air bag sensor or other computer sensor problem which would not be covered by the manufacturer. Has anyone else been offered this and does this make sense to purchase or skip?

Car_man, I'm thinking about leasing a prius this month. I am undecided about what package and whether to get the touring model. Can you let me know what the money factor and residuals are for March in Southern California for the various packages and models with 10,000 miles a year? (If you only have the numbers for 12,000 miles, I'll take that.) FYI these forums are great. I used the information from them last time I leased a car and saved thousands.

Replying to: coolacoo (Mar 05, 2009 11:26 pm) Keep in mind though that TFS publishes residual value percentages for vehicles base MSRPs. It places restrictions upon what options can be residualized, making its effective residuals lower than its published percentages. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum |

A pastor friend is moving to Maui to assume a pastorate. He has a 5 year lease with Toyota. He was informed he cannot take his car to Hawaii on the lease. He cannot afford to finance as he would have to come up with $8k cash. If he stores it the battery will be destroyed after 2 years not running. Any suggestions other than leaving in a bad part of town with the fob on the seat. I already suggested that.

Replying to: gagrice (Apr 02, 2009 6:12 am) The trick will be finding someone who is willing to assume a five year lease on a Prius. I always advise consumers against leasing for that long. Your friend may find that he has to kick in some extra money out of his own pocket to make his deal attractive enough for someone to be willing to assume it. Sites like swapalease or even Craig's List work well for this sort of transaction. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
