    To those who have leased, how much did you pay for acquistion fee? My local dealer wants $650. That seems way too high, probably trying to make extra money. Is there a disposition fee?

    When I leased my Prius through TFS in June 2009, $650 was the standard acquisition fee (some dealers try to mark it up), and my lease has no disposition fee.

    TFS' acq fee is $650 on all cars, from Yaris to Sequoia. It's not negotiable. (Even Lexus charges more)

    There is no disposition fee.

    And, that $650 is actually an industry low end. Many of the leasing banks get $700-1000 in bank fees at lease inception, and they also charge a disposition fee, which I have always found quite amazing (and ballsy... charging YOU to take your car back).
