Anchovy or Carman,
 
Can you tell me more about the MF? or point me in the right direction for research.
I am trying to understand how a MF of .00245 equates to a 5.9%.
 
Thanks in advance

Hi all. I'm considering a lease in the Seattle area. What do you think about these lease terms?
 
2008 Blue package 3, 12k mi/yr, 36mo lease.
sale price 23900
dealer installed leather 1400
RV 14342
MF 0.00285.
 
I'm also considering getting satellite radio. Should I have negotiated this from the start? or can I still negotiate down the price after I have the above deal?
 
Also does Toyota always make you pay for gap insurance?
 
Thanks.

In case you still don't know. interest rate = MF *2400.
.00245*2400=5.88%

While I don't know the current money factors and residuals on Prius's, don't get suckered by the dealer's terminology. That $700 "profit" is just a smoke-screen. The dealer is making at least $420 on holdback, from the manufacturer plus the profit they make on the 6.4% interest they're charging you PLUS the profit on the vehicle when they sell it as "certified pre-owned" after you turn it in at the end of your lease.
 
Also, be careful with Toyota in the SE region. At least here in South Florida, almost all cars on the lot have the over-priced "Toyo Guard Protection" for $700 to $800- which is nothing more that VIN etching, Scotchguard, car wax, and rust-proofing (which is irrelevant for the short period of your lease). This "Protection" costs the dealership less than $80 and is a source of PURE profit for them. You should negotiate with them as if this "Toyo Guard" doesn't exist when you run your numbers.

Car_man,
 
"I personally would be very hesitant to purchase this car with the intention of holding on to it for a really long time"
 
Can you clarify this point? Are you saying that a Prius may have expensive repairs in the future?

hmm ... no answer?
 
Let me ask the question another way.
What is it that makes a Prius not worthwhile holding for a really long time?
