I just got back from the dealer... I ended up leasing a dark grey plug in prius. I pick it up on Monday. My original plan was to purchase but the math worked out better to lease. So here was the deal. base PIP Toyota was putting in $3,150 in lease cash, then because wife is a Teacher, an extra $1,500 into the lease. They gave me $9,500 for my 2005 avalon with 85,000 miles. I owe $3,400 on the car. So with that said, my payment is $339 / 36 months 12k miles. buyout is $17K. They are taking my car paying of my balance and giving me a check for $4,100. In addition they are making the first payment, and my wife gets $250 to spend for her classroom from Toyota. In then end this works out great for me. If I love he car. I buy it. If not I get a new one. Maybe in 3 years the range is better and maybe they will improve the entue by then. I just want to thank everyone on these boards for answering my questions and putting up with all of my posts. (There have been a lot) This is an awesome place.
