    Was looking to buy a Prius v 3 until I saw the lease price of over $400/month!
    Looks like Toyota doesn't think the residual will be very good on this unit. I can lease a Highlander that lists for $3k more for less mo. Payment! Why?

    I'd be willing to wager that the extra $ for fuel for the Highlander will more than offset the savings on the lease payment.

    BTW, leasing is not the same as purchasing.

    For an individual, 'lease' is an alternative spelling of 'lose'.
