Hi sequoiahunter. If you really have your heart set on leasing a Sequoia then you don't have a lot to lose by waiting. Toyota's lease program on it certainly won't get any worse between now and the end of May (its residual value percentages are quarterly). While unlikely, it is possible that Toyota would introduce lease support on the 2009 Sequoia in the near future. If the program doesn't change it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to lease to me to lease one.

Hi massguy2. If you love your Sequoia, why would you buy out the lease now? Chances are it would be fairly expensive to do so. Banks are much more likely to be willing to negotiate the purchase prices of leased vehicles at the end of their term. There's virtually no chance that Toyota Financial Services, or whichever bank you are leasing your Sequoia through, will work with you now.
 
Furthermore, the fact that you are leasing your truck actually provides you with some protection. In your Sequoia is involved in an accident at some point over the next two years and you're still leasing it, you can just return it to TFS at lease-end and let them take the hit for diminished value. If you own your truck, you will have to take the hit.
 
Also, who knows what will happen over the next two years. The price of gas could spike up a couple of dollars again and you might decide that you want a more fuel efficient vehicle than the Sequoia. Getting out of it in the event of a return of high gas prices will be a lot easier if you are leasing it.
 
What I'm trying to say is that continuing to lease provides you with flexibility that purchasing your vehicle doesn't.

2006 Sequoia Lease Options by nohojo

I have a 2006 Sequoia SR5 with leather, Rear DVD entertainment, many other options with 38 K miles. I'm getting conflicting messages from a couple of local dealers (southeastern PA) about the value of this car on the market. The residual value per contract is $23500. Adding taxes and fees I would need to pay $25K. Is it a good deal?

Car Man, have the leases for Sequoias improved for June? Do you know the RF and MF and if there is any support for the dealers? Thank you

Hi maf1. Unfortunately, Toyota still is not providing lease support on the 2010 Sequoia. As a result, if you were to lease one through Toyota Financial Services right now, you would have to use its standard lease program. TFS' current buy rate lease money factor is .00265 for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier and pay a security deposit at lease signing.
 
this truck's residual values vary by trim level. If you describe the exact Sequoia that you are interested in, I would be happy to give you its current resid.

2010 Sequoia lease by edpliutx

Car_man,
 
I am looking at leasing a base model 2010 Sequoia SR5 4x4 and was wondering how the residuals are as compared to past years. I was hoping that residuals were decent enough to allow me to lease this vehicle -- otherwise I'm gonna have to look at the...yawn....Sienna. Is Toyota throwing anything behind these vehicles either via boosted residuals or subsidized money factors?
 
Thanks!

Seems like all the Sequoia's are sitting on lots around here. Any idea on thought if incentives are coming down the road in near future. Can't be a huge market for these with the price and no incentives. Thanks

Hi, My 2006 Sequoia is coming off lease in December. I love this car and can buy it for $23K. I am not sure if that is a good deal or not. I was quoted around $850/mo to lease a new one. What are other good leasing alternatives for an SUV this size? I don't want to go over $500/mo.

Hello edpliutx. Toyota's residual values are definitely much worse today than they were several years ago. Back then, most automakers were significantly overestimating the residual values for trucks, causing them to realize millions of dollars in losses when these vehicles came back off-lease.
 
Toyota is not currently providing any lease support on the Sequoia. As a result, if you were to lease any 2010 Tree through Toyota Financial Services right now, you would have to use its standard lease money factor, which the last time I checked was .00265 for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier.
 
TFS' current 36 month, 15,000 mile per year residual value for the 2010 Sequoia SR5 4WD is 50%.
 
The problem is that Toyota's published residual values are for base vehicles. It places restrictions upon what options can be residualized that make it difficult to calculate the actual dollar residual values for specific units, so much so that it provides dealers with a list of the actual dollar residuals for the units that they have in stock.
