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.
Regards, DQ
