Hello Steve. The lease program that the dealer told you about looks right to me. The money factor that you were quoted for the '07 Prius that you are interested in is right in line with SE Toyota's current buy rate for this model. Outside of the Southeastern U.S., Toyota Financial Services' current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month, 12,000 mile per year lease of this car are .00113 and 57%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its "Tier 1+" credit tier.

Hello Car_man,
 
This is the quote I received yesterday for a 2007 Prius with package #3. This probably includes carpet and other items which come to $192 over MSRP -($25,500)
     MSRP: $25,692 - my cost $24,500 -$1,323 over Inv.
     INV: $23,177
     M.F. .00055 (1.32%) same as Feb. Resdidual looks
     like 51%. They said the residual was $13,140.
TERMS: 36 months and 12,000 miles per year.
I am considering ordering this car tomorrow (3/23/07)
WHAT DO YOU THINK? Appreciate your thoughts!

Hello Car_man,
    Many thanks for your prompt response. While I agree that the money factor on said vehicle is .00113 in certain regions I have also discovered that in TN it is .00024. What I have not been able to confirm is the vehicle's residual in TN and/or Virgina. Those dealers advise that I must choose a particular car and that car's invoice reflects an individual residual - this appears strange to say the least. To complicate matters further, the residuals which those dealers advise of appears to be extremely low (i.e. - a residual of $13,650 for a Prius Touring with PKG #3). I can confirm that the residual in the SE is 53%, plus a $1,700 bonus added thereafter.
 
Thx.

Lease program in New England by davidlni

I got the following figure (in Rhode Island) for leasing Touring model with package #2.
 
Sale Price: $24,212
Residual: $13,500
Down: $1,999 + $600 (1st month payment and acquisition fee)
Monthly payment: $273.48
 
And I asked for,
 
Residual: $12,500
Down: $1,999
Monthly payment: $250
 
So far no luck. Any suggestion.
 
P/s: BTW, I wonder does the car selling in Phoenix (SW area) have any different treatment due to weather concern compared to those sell in New England, or vice versa.

Prius Lease in California by salobrenar

Hi.
I am considering leasing a toyota prius.
What exactly is the federal tax credit? Is it deducted directly from the tax owed to the federal government? (for example if i owed $2000 in taxes, would it be reduced to 200 with an $1800 tax credit on hybrid car?)
Would leasing a prius also qualify me for the tax credit in california?
Thanks.

2007 prius money factor and residual value by osk86

Hi,
 
I live in the San Francisco Bay Area and am looking for the money factor and residual fidures for a 2007 prius. I have been talking to dealerships and they are telling me that the current money factor and residual value offered by toyota are .0004 and 48% respectively for a 36 month lease. I was looking in this forum and i got .001311 and 57% respectively for a 36 month lease. the second one is clearly more attractive. what are the true figures?

We got our first prius with the top of the line package early in March. We put nothing down at all including tax and registration. It is costing us $464 a month for 35 payments plus a first payment of $764.
 
When our second car goes back in May we hope to get an additional Prius. At 471/2 miles per gallon we are very happy.
