Hi Car Man,
 
I am also considering leasing a FJ. Do you have the most recent Toyota standard leasing terms available? Much appreciated.

Hi yojedi. As you suspected, Toyota is not currently providing any sort of lease support on the FJ Cruiser. As a result, if you were to lease one through Toyota Financial Services, you would have to use its standard lease program. TFS' buy rate standard money factor varies by region, but it should be around .00285 for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier. The FJ Cruiser's residual values vary by trim level, term, and mileage allowance. If you provide me with this information I will be happy to give you an idea of what the residuals are like for the model that you are interested in.

Is there really much difference in the residual value of a fully loaded vs base FJ over 3 or 4 years?

You helped me out with a passat back in 2004, hoping you can help me now. Looking to get into a loaded FJ 4x4 (upgrade 2, off road package). What can I expect for money factor and residual in the Denver area. Assuming I qualify for tier 1.
 
Thanks,
vdubdude

Hey Roll. Toyota Financial Services' current residual values for the AWD FJ Cruiser are 2% higher than its residual values for the 2WD version. These residual values are only for base models though. TFS places limits on which options can be residualized and caps on the ones that it allows. As a result, the lease payments of fully loaded vehicles through TFS can be fairly expensive.

Welcome back vdubdude. Unfortunately, Toyota is not currently providing any lease support on the FJ Cruiser. 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' standard buy rate lease money factor varies by region, but it should be around .00285 or so for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier right now. Its residual values vary by term and mileage allowance. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. TFS' current 36 month, 15,000 mile per year residual value for the 2007 FJ Cruiser AWD is 65%. The problem is that TFS only publishes residual values for base vehicles. Unlike most banks, it places restrictions upon which options can be residualized and caps on the ones that it allows. As a result, it is often difficult to figure out exactly what the residual value should be for a specific vehicle.

Thanks for getting back to me. I pulled the trigger on Saturday before.
 
I got my FJ in Greeley, CO. I qualified for Tier1, they gave me .00295 money factor and only 46% residual for an FJ with: AT, upgrade 2, convenience and accessorie package (ie tow hitch). I was greatly disappointed in the residual, but they showed me a spreadsheet that they said Toyota published and that was the rate. That was for a 48 month lease/12K miles.
 
The good news, I'm driving a vehicle that puts a smile on my face!

It looks like Edmunds.com also uses about a 46% residual- am I right in assuming the residual may change based on location? I am looking at a manual with only the convenience package and the 17 in wheels- I'd hope to have a higher residual over a 36 mo/12k lease.

What about all the insurance offers and more? by boldstorm

Greetings:
 
I am new to this forum and have never bought a new car before and I'm as nervous as a cat with it's tail under a rocker. I have signed all the paperwork at Joe Meyers in Houston, but have not taken delivery - will do that on Saturday - and so there is still room to manoeuvre a little bit. So, a few questions if you don't mind.
 
1. The type of lease I am getting is a "Closed End Motor Vehicle Lease Agreement - Texas". Is this a good lease?
 
2. Do I need or would you recommend Optional Mechanical Breakdown Protection or Optional Maintenance Agreement?
 
3. The FJ is being brought down from Dallas (to Houston) and the total purchase price of the vehicle is $28936 for a 4 x 4 manual FJ with alloy wheels, convenience package, Steel exhaust tip, window tint, Option B package, Extra Mile option package B and Vehicle Shield Package. Due at delivery is $4500 which includes tax, title and license and 47 payments of 476.61 with the total of monthly payments 22877.28.
 
Am I being taken for a ride or is this a fair deal? Also, what about all the insurance options? So far I have only take Gap insurance which is not mandatory in Texas.
 
Thanks for your help.
