JohnJ. My current supplier has told me that the numbers don't make sense and warns me that I may be trapped at the end of the lease with Toyota. He claims this is not uncommon. I understand the hours and abuse effecting the end of lease terms. However, my current vendor has warned me that they might have inflated residuals and my concern is if 3 seperate companies deems the residuals to be lower am I on the hook for the difference? As I mentioned I realize Toyota is a good company but if the sale prices are virtually the same why would the Toyota lease be so much lower than all other bids? I need to make a decision by mid July, so if anyone can answer this question I would appreciate it.
