Does anyone have the Toyota money factors for the 2009 Toyota Prius Option #5 and Option #6 for the month of January that would be great. I'll also need the residual percentage please.
 
Thank you very much for the help.

Hi gerry10. Toyota is not currently providing lease support on the 2009 Prius. As a result, if you want to lease one through Toyota Financial Services, you will have to use its standard lease program. TFS' standard buy rate lease money factor is .00295 for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier.
 
TFS' residual values for this model vary by term and mileage allowance. You never mentioned what either of these variables are, so for now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. The 36 month, 15k residual value for any '09 Prius is 61%.
 
The problem with this number is that TFS places restrictions upon what options can be residualized. This makes it very difficult for consumers to calculate the actual dollar residual values for specific units. It is so tricky that TFS provides dealers with lists of the actual dollar residual values for the units that they have in stock rather than relying on them to calculate them on their own. As a result, it is difficult for consumers to calculate sample lease payments for Toyota models on their own.

Thank yo so much for the reply Car_man.
 
Toyota seems to enjoy making some things complicated with purchasing a car, and this residual issue is a prime example.
 
Anyway, I think I can at least get a close idea for a payment with your numbers.
 
I am thinking about a 36 month 12K or 15K lease. Any idea about the residual for the 12K lease?
 
Thank you again for the help!

Need Residuals ASAP by cmyawn

Hello All,
 
I am in heated negotiations with a local NC dealer on a Prius Touring Model Package 6. He has agreed to price at invoice. He claims a money factor of .00274, which is better than I had hoped, but he claims a residual of only 59% for a 36 month, 12,000 mi/year lease. That seems low.
 
I am hoping for a residual of 62 or 63%. What is the official Totota Finance number for a Touring Model package 6 with 36 months, 12,000 mi/year?
 
Thanks
 
Mike

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?
