Read the message boards and get a broker.

Dude, I signed a 3/36k Civic EX lease two years ago for $224/month being an idiot and not doing enough research on leases. Please donât sign any of these deals. Youâre going to pay over $300 for a YARIS and thatâs just stupid.
Like someone else said, just buy it new and finance it at that point.
Lowest trimâŚ$15,600. If you negotiated $0, had $0 incentives, and put $0 down⌠after taxes youâre at about $314/month for a 60 month loan. Assuming 4.9% interest rate.
You can get a s-box for a lot less than that monthly. In the name of all thatâs holy contact a broker.

A plain Toyota is fine, just not at BWM / Lexus pricing. I gave you an example above for a Kia Forte / Optima that fits your needs and saves you $150-200/mo, and keeps insurance costs low. The Forte is on par w/ Corolla and Optima a step up.
The Toyota dealers are taking advantage of you, and youâre helping them do it, since youâre getting advice here, and donât seem to want to take any of fit

youâre civic deal makes you look like an einstein compared to him spending 300+/mo on a sh*tbox

I would like to say that I am not ignoring your advice, I am not signing any leases quite yet. I will look into your suggestions (and please do keep them coming)!
I just feel like my handicap in the leasing process is that Iâm not willing to do more than 24-month lease, and am not willing to buy (because I donât want to have the headache of having to sell it later).
I also donât want to do a swap-a-lease because I need the car in 2 weeks, and I read that those can take a long time to transfer.
Um then buy a low mileage used Corolla.
The entire point of leasing is to have full warranty coverage and get more for your monthly payment than you otherwise could by financing/purchasing.
What possible logic is there to only care about reliability and repair costs when any lease that stays within the bumper to bumper warranty period will have no repair costs?
I have heard this lame statement so many times. I have never understood it.
What headache is there??? You can sell a car to Carvana, Vroom, etc. online in about 5 minutes. Driving to a carmax or local dealer to trade in might take all of 30 minutes.
I get his insurance thing, also understand where heâs coming from on the vehicle spending time in the shop(if thatâs what he means) but problem is that heâs not shopping for 100k range rovers or a maserati, the majority of new cars donât have much trouble within their warranty period plus everything is covered anyway.
I donât think there are any more suggestions to give. Youâve shot them all down. No one can help you at this point. You have to help yourself.
In terms of fixing the car up, I donât mean something thatâs covered by warranty, but I mean what happens if thereâs a fender-bender. High-end car parts costs much more than toyota car parts
I probably just violated some rule with that GIF. Sorry. There just arenât any words that can be used here.

Have you taken the time to search marketplace thread instead of playing Toyota dealers against each other on a bad deal?
20 seconds of scrolling and you can save $3-4K⌠heck take a 36 month lease on the civic and turn it in earlyâŚstill cheaper.

I will look at the marketplace thread.
I am not familiar with the penalties of breaking a lease early, I thought theyâd be really bad and never worth it. So thanks for pointing that out, and Iâll take that into consideration as well.
Are you also interested in buying these magic clothes from methat only super intelligent people are able to see?
