@max_g if 475 is crazy what do we call this one??!
Am I reading that right? $3k residual?
I wondered if it might be fully loaded, then I saw the MSRP

For a second I thought that’s 15k or even 20k a year lease… and then I saw 10k…
This is some straight up space-continuum-relativity math.

The best I could gather using known dealer fee (not listed here - $699) and unknown state fees (though for VA its usually <200 bucks) is that 0 cash down would be 634, which means they are baking in a whopping $1373 in added fees on top of the $996 in fees already listed here, which sums to a grand total of two thousand, three hundred and sixty ni…HEY WAIT ONE MINUTE MR. DEALER MAN

Met an acquaintance today. He was very excited about his new lease. Toyota Avalon hybrid limited, $750 a month. Ouch.
He was very happy about it, I didnt have the heart to explain just how simply awful it is. On top of it he decided to pay a year’s worth up front.
I think msrp is around $45k. Gruesome.
Friends, if you see someone who may need your help, reach out before it’s too late.
Another one bites the eco-dust.

Thought this was pretty laughable. In the midwest where the current lease incentive is $3,750. The extra $750 “discount” doesn’t even cover the drop in residual.

Is the sound system better in the Avalon or did he say anything about it being a retirement dream car?

That will be the story that never dies. I re read it the other week just to make me laugh.

Last I heard about Ron he was spending additional money on a 500 gb hard drive for his MKZ because he was upset about having an expensive iPhone (that he already owned) to hold his vast music collection.

Gee, I hope Ron didn’t opt for monthly payments to get that… I heard you can get 500GB harddrive for only $9,000 upfront

That hard drive will be worth more than his MKZ
