2021 Toyota Highlander XLE...confused about MSD

2021 Toyota Highlander XLE AWD
MSRP: $42,903
Monthly Payment: $394.85
Drive-Off Amount: $4,793.05
Refundable Security Deposits: $4,050
Annual Mileage: 12,000

Done three leases but never any MSD, but neither has my Toyota salesman. Quote say 9 security deposits of $450, but Leasehackr calculator says $400 each. Who is correct?

LH calculator is correct. MSDs for TFS are based on post-MSD monthly payments.

I can do this deal without the msds and on a $45k hybrid awd if you want. Gas would be even cheaper. You would have to ship it though or pick up in Philly area.

I’m interested if the miles are 12k per year. The link you provided is only 10K.

Text me for a quote and I’ll send inventory and you can price one

Planning on contacting you after Christmas, Jim. Since the calculator is accurate, here is my current score 9.2. Hope we can improve on this!

They’re moving quick. Have like 5-6 hybrids left so whenever you’re ready

What do guys think of this deal, good or not?

MSRP: $46,302
Residual: $31,200 (67%)
Monthly Payment: $394
Drive-Off Amount: $4444
Nine Refundable Security Deposits: $4,050
Months: 36
Annual Mileage: 12k
MF: 0.00190 (Michigan)

Working with a Toyota dealer unfamiliar with MSDs. If my payment is $394, what is the security deposit?rounded up to:

•Nearest $100 ($400)
•Nearest $50 ($450)
•Nearest $25 ($425)

Leasehackr calculator is forcing me to the nearest $100.

If it is $394, then nearest $100
Goes by $25 increment

I’m confused… $400 is the nearest multiple of 25, 50, and 100…

@Throttlemedia keep all your Toyota questions in one thread

When I was at the Toyota dealer they didn’t use the term “multiple”…only “nearest $50”, which to them is $450.

You have misinterpreted their phrasing.

Appreciate this answer! Any inside information you can provide that I can relay to the dealer that it should be $400?

Not really

If the contract states that total security deposit is X, then you will get that X back from TFS.

That answers my next question of how MSDs show up on contract. Thanks!
