#349 of 390 accessories - mudflaps by cessna10

Feb 24, 2012 (6:54 pm)

first lease, 2011 Prius II, I would like to install mudflaps but not having leased before I am not sure what the implications would be at lease end. I have emailed customer service but it goes in a loop of check with, check with, check with, no definitive answer. I would appreciate any info from someone who has ended a lease with non factory/dealer accessories installed. I would expect to leave the flaps on at lease end.
 
thanks

If it's a Toyota accessory that is commonly added (like mudflaps), then there will be no issues at lease end..
 
Big wing spoiler, curb feelers or padded vinyl roof? Then, you might have a problem..

thanks for the reply, the part that seems to be causing the conflict is that mudflaps are not on the Toyota accessory list. The parts would have to be aftermarket, so that may be what is causing the uncertanity. It may be wiser to go without and use the $200 to repair any chips before the vehicle is returned. With all the "customer support contacts, videos, and contact numbers" provided by the mfg it should not be quite this difficult to receive a definitive answer.

Hey dwynne. Toyota's lease program does indeed often vary by region. Toyota Financial Services' current buy rate for the 2012 Prius in its Cincinnati region is .00117 for consumers who qualify for its Tier 1+ credit tier. You can actually see this for yourself and show it to the dealer by looking at the fine print of Toyota's official advertised lease payment for this car in your area. Here's a link:

Just click on the lease offer and look at the fine print. It's right in there.
 
The dealers definitely look like they are trying to mark the money factor up on you.

#353 of 390 2012 Prius II Lease Incentives by masterfaldo

Mar 02, 2012 (6:38 pm)

Hi Car Man,
 
I saw an incentive Lease on the Toyota site for 2011's but nothing currently for 2012's in my area (Oregon).
 
Looks like current incentives go through 03/05 so I am assuming updates on 03/06.
 
Any insight as to any new lease factors on the 2012's? I got quotes from 3 different dealerships but all were very high payments (like $300 per month with $2500 down), even though prices were pretty good - about $1000 off MSRP.

Anyone have their TFS Prius lease handy? What is the minimum tread depth on a lease return?
 
Thanks

Hello All,
 
I'm looking to lease the above, my first leased vehicle and have shopped around 3 dealerships in LA area.
Santa Monica are offering me this on 12k miles per annum.
Driveoff $5,000
            $420.96 + tax = $457.79
I feel this is pretty good but would really appreciate any expert information before I sign on the dotted line tomorrow ! I hear step two, the 'Finance chap' is the person to be wary of !? I am so tired of the 'battle' always believing that getting a new car ought be a pleasure ! I sincerely thank you in anticipation of any wise advice and support you may offer..JBP7

I'm in North Carolina,,,,and was offered $369 includes tax, no money down, 39 month lease, 12k miles.... Carolinas sales tax rate is 3%.
 
The lease has to make sense....if it does not you are better off purchasing the vehicle.
