What are good lease prices on 4Runners by waverly911

I am looking at leasing the base model Toyota 4Runner and upgrade it with leather seats. 3 years 15k miles a year 0 down. I am Encore customer. What are goo lease prices. ALSO, I am all paid up on my current 4Runner lease which ends very soon, any tips on what to expect when I turn the car back in and can I use the report from the 3rd party on the condition of the car in negotiating a better note or lowering the money that might be owed on the car that I will turn in.
 
I am 3,000 miles under what I contracted for and have normal wear and tear on the car. Thank you for any guidance you can provide.

Lease Sales Tax by newdavidq

Unfortunately I leased my 4R in IL so I'm paying the full sales tax during my 36 mo lease and if I buy the truck I will have to pay sales tax again on the purchase . My question is: If I were to move to another state then bought the truck at lease expiration, would I have to pay sales tax there if that state did not charge tax twice to an instate lease/buy like IL does?
Unless Toyota Financial is willing to deal, it is not likely I would be buying anyway although I had seriously thought about doing so when I got the truck originally. I have 12 mos left. I may be living in AZ when my lease is up.
Thanks much, DQ

Right now.. the bank owns your vehicle, and technically, they are the ones who paid the sales tax on your lease.
 
So, it pretty much doesn't matter where you live... Unless the state doesn't charge sales tax on used cars, you'll have to pay the tax again if you want to buy it.
 
Which is why leasing cars in Illinois can be a bad deal.

Thanx kyfdx. I'm just reimbursing the bank for the sales tax. This means the bank bought the car from the dealer, which bought the car from Toyota, which in this case owns the bank. I'll have to check AZ to find out what their program is. Maybe they'll credit me with the sales tax I paid to IL. lol !
Thank you again: you were helpful when I leased the truck two years ago.

Invitation by newdavidq

I just received a letter from the local dealer where I leased my 07 V6 4R inviting me to come in and buy or lease a new vehicle and in so doing replace my present lease and get a new vehicle at the same payment or even less. I have 11 mos left on a 36 mo lease and I will probably be over my 36000 miles allowed by 4 or 5K ( 15 cents/mile)
I don't see how this would be possible, but I'm curious. I might like to get a V8 4R as I could use the extra power for towing. I can only assume they're targeting any leftover 08s they might have in stock. What are current money factors and residuals from Toyota Finance in the Chicago area? Thanks much.

Hi stilly. Toyota is not currently providing any lease support on the 4Runner. 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 standard lease money factor is .00295 for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Tier 1+" credit tier.
 
TFS' residual value for the '09 4Runner SR5 4WD (they vary by trim level, let me know if you're interested in something different) is 45% for a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. The residual value for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year would be 2% higher.
 
Keep in mind though that unlike most banks, TFS places strict restrictions upon what options can be residualized. This makes it very difficult to calculate the dollar residual values for specific units. So much so that Toyota provides dealers with a list of the actual dollar residual values for the vehicles that they have in stock rather than relying upon them to calculate them on their own.

Hi newdavidq. If you still have eleven months left on your current lease, chances are that you will waste a significant amount of money getting into a new vehicle now rather than waiting until the scheduled end of your deal...regardless of what the letter that the dealer sent you said. They are probably just trying to sucker you into getting something new earlier than you should.

Thanks, Car man. I was pretty sure it was a sucker play but good to get your spin. Money factor and residual not so good either, so no new car for me.
