Was wondering what’s everyone doing that got those insane tundra lease deals 2 years ago with us bank ?
Lease is running out in couple months , but with the low payment my buyout is still 36k plus tax for the SX model . I was reading that the tundras have one of the highest resale value, so thinking buy it and wait till
Market stabilized or sell it and lease something ??
I extended my SR5 till September I wanted to get the new Tundra, but it doesn’t look like I have equity in it to make up for some of the high lease payments. Really difficult to find a good deal during these times.
I’m very curious about other people’s options. I have a sr5 through us bank with a pay off of $39k (tax included). I went and looked at a new tundra and the dealer said it was a hassle to deal with us bank and he didn’t expect me to have any equity to use toward a new tundra.
I called and talked to a very nice us bank rep. She said that The payoff is for me only. The dealer would pay something different. She explained that there are 3 amounts to “pay off” the lease for trade in.
my price to buy - $39k
dealer price to buy if putting me in another us bank lease or finance - $41k
dealer price to buy if not using us bank - market value
So, not sure what I’ll do, the best financial option is to buy, but of I can get a good deal on another truck through us bank (barely care about the model at this point) I might do that to save some hassle. Unfortunately though, I haven’t seen any us bank deals come though these forums at all, and I have no real way to check without calling dealers individually.
And it also looks like tundra values are dropping a bit now as well. I’m seeing my exact truck sell for $45k which is a bummer because that equity I had in the truck is fading pretty quickly.
