These payments on some of these hybrids/ev’s are shockingly high, considering the amount of “FREE” money being applied. $8,500 being skimmed off of the top and the payment is still nearly $600/mo on a fifty-one-thousand-dollar vehicle??
The only ones winning here is the government and the large corporations. We’re subsidizing EV/hybrid with gov money (which is our money for the most part) and the manufacturers are in turn capturing all of that money by jacking the MSRP’s up. I’m just afraid what is going to happen when/if the EV has the majority of the market and everyone is backed up against a wall.
OP -I can’t speak on the deal itself, as I’m not terribly current on the RAV4 market. I will say that with your plan to buy the lease out is logical (as long as you CAN finance at the lower rate). Toyota is certainly a great brand for value retention. Judging by your username you likely already know that.
Ya, I agree. The Prime never leases well. I’m still thinking it over, but got caught up in the buyout opportunity. My Pro-4x lease needs to be returned 6/6, so I don’t have too much time.
. That’s an EQS territory.
