According to Edmunds.com, in February of this year Interest rates hit an eight-year high. This means more automotive consumers are turning to leasing their cars as a tactic to lower monthly payments. The average new APR (Annual Percentage Rates) is up almost 5% from last year with the increase being primarily driven by an uptick in the number of mid-range new-vehicle APRs rising from 4% to 7%. These increasing new-car prices and higher-than-normal interest rates contributed to record high lease penetration of 33.9% in February. Many automotive consumers are affected when they realize leasing is their only option available to obtain a new car when they discover they can no longer afford the expenses and costs associated with purchasing a new vehicle with these inflated APRs.*

Top Benefits of Leasing a New Toyota

  1. Guaranteed Residual Value - The residual value of your leased car is how much it will be worth when you lease is up. With a Toyota lease the residual value is locked in at the beginning of your lease so you don't have to wonder about market demand or model redesigns influencing the residual value at the end-of-lease term. Find a truck, car or SUV with a good residual value as this indicates you are investing in a great lease deal.

  2. Get the latest and greatest technology and newest models more frequently - When you lease, your terms are usually 24-36 months. At the end of that time you can opt to lease the newest model year vehicle. So you get a brand new car of your choosing every two to three years (stay with your current model or try a new one each time) and with that you get industry leading technology features and gadgets to keep you safe, entertained and comfortable through your leasing journey.Ā 

  3. Sales Tax - Leasing gives you exemption from paying sales tax on the residual percentage of your leased vehicle. This means you will only be paying sales tax on the leased portion of your vehicle and not the total value of the car. Saving you money you would have to dish over if you were trying to purchase the car.Ā
