Instructions

Getting into a new Toyota lease

1

Do you research for your new Toyota lease. Find the right model that works best for you. Take a look at different options available and trim levels that would best suit your needs. Visit a Toyota dealership and take a look at the vehicle(s) you are interested in leasing. Take a look at available color combinations that are available while you are on the lot to take the guess work out of visualizing a vehicle from a paint chip in a brochure or on a website.

2

Find out about all available incentives and rebates currently being offered from Toyota. Check to see if there are programs such as down-payment assistance (where the manufacturer actually pays for the drive off costs of your lease), cash incentives to help lower the selling price of the vehicle, and other such programs that will make the lease even more attractive.

You can visit sites like http://www.edmunds.com or http://www.cars.com to find out about current vehicle incentives, what the vehicles are selling for in your market and other useful bits of information that will help you be a more informed buyer.

3

Email several Internet Sales Managers at local dealers and as them to send you a lease proposal. Be specific yet open at the same time when requesting your quotes. Tell them the terms you are looking for, 36-month lease with 10,000 miles per year and maintenance included, but also try to give some leeway on the vehicle. For example ask to have quotes sent on the vehicle you want with the options but just not black or red--try to keep you colors open so that you are not limiting your options.

Once you've received all of your quotes, choose the one that best suits your needs. One that is the closest to the color you like and to the numbers you are expecting to pay for your vehicle. Call your salesperson and schedule a day and time for you to come in and finalize everything. Ask to have the vehicle ready before your get there, a full tank of gas and a full detail, so that you can check it for any imperfections before you sign your lease.

Go down to the Toyota dealership and take it out for one last test drive to make sure everything is the way it should be on your new car. Sign all of your paperwork and go home happy knowing that you got yourself a great deal because you put in a little bit of effort to do the research needed to get you into your new Toyota lease.
