    Hi guys,

    This is the best offer I got so far in Northern California. It feels higher than I thought as the cap cost quoted here is higher than a quoted sale price I got of $23,900 for the Prius 3. Any advice?

    A. 2014 Toyota Prius III
    MSRP: $26,800, 36-Month Lease for 12k Miles per Year:
    Drive-Off - $721 (1st Payment, DMV, Doc fees and a small sales tax)
    Monthly Payment - $319 + tax
    Cap Cost - $25,415
    MF - .00090
    Residual - $15,974

    B. 2014 Toyota Prius v III (in stock)
    MSRP: $28,550 36-Month Lease for 12k Miles per Year:
    Drive-Off - $754 (1st Payment, DMV, Doc fees and a small sales tax)
    Monthly Payment - $340 + tax
    Cap Cost - $27,075
    MF - .00130
    Residual - $17,610

    Does anyone have updated MF or residual info for the Prius Hatchback?
    I am pretty sure the residual is 17, 182 because I've got quotes from 8 dealers, and the ones who were willing to give me the residual listed it as 17,182.

    In most regions, the money factor is .00001 for April. I don't have residuals for the Prius. Dealers can't alter them, so what you see is what you get.

    Hi Michaell,

    Thanks for the quick response.

    I was offer a selling price of $22,988, total of $367.75 fee and residual of $14,762 for Prius II, 36 month lease with 12,000 miles/year with $0.00 out of pocket due at signing.

    Using the Edmund calculator, the lease payment comes out $259.00.

    Is this correct?

    Looks pretty close - my calculations come back with a pre-tax payment of $239.10, so 8-8.5% tax gets you to around $259/mo.

    Hi MichaelL and Kirstie,

    Can you tell me MF, Residual and monthly payment for a Prius V 5 with a purchase price of $27,291 (doc fee of $166) and a 8% tax rate? I'm looking for both 2 year and 3 year with 12,000 miles per year.

    .00084 MF and 70% residual for 24/12

    .00114 MF and 60% residual for 36/12

    We'll need the MSRP to calculate a payment, but be advised that Toyota residuals are always iffy. Sometimes they don't apply to all options, so any calculated payment would be an estimate.

    Using your MSRP and selling price with the 36/12 MF and residual provided by my co-host, I get a pre-tax payment of $290.46.

    The 24 month payment actually works out better at $268.25 - the higher residual and lower MF work in your favor.

    Do those MF and Residual apply for all trim levels (Two, Three, Four, Five) of PRIUS LIFTBACK? If different, could you post MF & Resi for Prius FIVE trim level? Thank you!!

  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 235,188

    As far as I can tell.. same numbers for all levels. Toyota isn't real good about residualizing all options, so the higher the MSRP, the more likely that the effective residual percentage will be lower.

    Holy crap, seems like a smoking deal to lease the Prius, then buy at end of lease if you're wanting to go that route in the first place.

    Question.

    What is the amount applied upfront with 687.97? Are they taking the acquisition fee out from the cap cost reduction?

    If so, shouldn't gross and net cap cost be lower? Where else could that amount be from?

    TIA!

  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 235,188

    I'm going to guess title and license fees...

    Out of the $3500 upfront, $2812.03 is CAP cost reduction, $193.26 is first payment, and $494.71 is unaccounted for.. (but, taken out of the $3500). $232 of that $494.71 is the license fee... If you add up the CAPPED numbers in column 2, that $232 isn't in the Gross CAP.

    So. .it's actually ($494.71 - $232.00) = $262.71 (that's the amount without explanation).

    Thank you!

    This is what I have in my Excel sheet. This is assuming I roll EVERYTHING into the monthly payment, which seems better since effective interest is 0.0%. Can I ask them to do that instead of paying for license and etc "up front"?

  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 235,188

    You could... but, items that aren't taxed (like license/registration) become effectively taxed, if you borrow the money and roll them into the payment. So, I wouldn't do that.

    So, now that I slept on it, I'd say that the $262.71 that we can't account for is sales tax on the CAP cost reduction.

    The only way I'd structure it differently, is to put less money upfront. After all, as you mentioned, the finance charges are virtually zero. The $1500 rebate probably has to be applied as a CAP cost reduction, but you could probably pull back $1300 of your $2000, and still cover 1st payment, registration and tax on the rebate.. (corresponding increase in payment, of course)

    Man, they tax on the cap cost reduction too?

    The trade in has to go in because they just want to get rid of the car before anything happens. It's an old Mercedes and they just have a feeling it isn't going to last much longer. I've driven it and it's fine, but it is old and they want to get something for it while they can. I can certainly understand that I suppose.

    Probably going to do the deal this morning so we'll see how it goes.

    Pricing on the car and lease look OK to you?

    Thanks!

  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 235,188

    Yes, the price looks good.

    If they didn't tax CAP reductions, everyone would put $10K down, and only pay tax on a $30 payment...

    Toyota does not support 10K per year leases. Residual on a 36mo/12K lease is 59%. MF is .00001 with $1000 lease cash.

    Are you saying that your offer to the dealer is 3% over invoice? You should be much closer to invoice - check the pricing tools at the top of the page.

    Sat down at a dealer in So.Cal to talk numbers today - Prius Hatchback Five trim.

    Dealer quote------------------------------

    MSRP $31040

    Price $26435 (including $1000 rebate)

    Residual 57%

    MF 0.00101

    Fees + Tag + Other $1046

    Payment $346

    My excel sheet----

    MF 0.00001

    Payment $297

    They are insisting on MF with a substantial mark-up over the posted 0.00001. I've told them No Way. After couple rounds of going back and forth, the top man came out and told me 'No Deal', and I simply walked away.

    He said with their low 'Price', MF 0.00101 is the best they can do. I don't get his rational. If I finance, price stays same and I get 0%. If I pay cash, they can do it even better at $25,935. Yet, for leasing they won't do the base TFS MF of 0.00001. I don't get his reasoning, but I assume they need to make more $$$ with leasing?

    There are a whole lot of Toyota dealers in SoCal - I'm sure you can find one willing to sell you a car on your terms.

    You were right to walk away from a deal where the MF is marked up.

    Hello.. I am new at this. I am interested in leasing a 2014 Prius (model 3). I was quoted a lease price of $283 per month (tax included) with $1,000 down at 15K miles per year over the phone with a dealership in California. Can you please let me know if this a good deal or close to it for that model. Thank you for you input and help

    We will need the MSRP and the negotiated selling price of the vehicle in question in order to evaluate the deal for you.

    Also, what was the lease term?

    Using your MSRP and selling price with the MF of .00001 and residual of 59%, I get a pre-tax payment of $261.98 for 36 months. 9% tax takes the payment to $285.56, so very close to the $283/mo you were quoted.
