I met someone this week who was complaining about a lease he got for a 2016 Toyota Tacoma. When I ran the numbers, it turned out that his money factor was a whopping .007! ie 16.8% apr. Crazy. He had no idea. Is there anything he can to to correct that?
He was also given $4,000 for his 2006 Tacoma trade-in. The trade in value that comes up at kbb is over $10k.
He seems to have been ripped off. Is there anything he can do? He is in Cali and the transaction took place in May.
KBB is BS. no way a dealer would give 10k on that car to begin with. it’s a 10 year old truck…I could see 5-6k if it was extremely clean, but 10k is way too high assumption imo.
