    Problem is, we're all so used to seeing the low lease rates and give-away loss leader deals on the leftovers, these new leases are going to be shocking without rebate or subvented rates.
    2's are gonna be about $370+ even with my discount... and a top end loaded 4 is 500+.

    We have new lease rates and low apr's too!
    1.9 apr for the new 2016's (sigh, finally) and the lease rates are pretty decent. Residuals are rather low in my opinion, but oh well!
    I'll list my new allocation blended with the most recent past one.
    On P4's I have been adding a 15" alloy wheel from factory ($899 for the wheels on MSRP) that looks like this on the car and it's been a real
    winner for looks! Doesn't add much to the lease payment.

    Selling less car (no back wiper, no real spare, but adding three door smart key) for $500 more seems a fair trade off... but ECO isn't selling wildly. I have sold a number of these but not low end ones. Mostly the higher end models.

    Last update March 14. I have almost 200 cars total allocated to me.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Well. We have a new "rule" for Toyota's advertising.
    No one can advertise below invoice pricing anymore.

    And, two things?
    1. If you've seen the crazy white plastic console look, you'll understand why 99% of my cars will also have the FACTORY OPTIONAL center shifter panel applique for $55 (on base) or $199 (cars with Tech adds). That will artfully cover the top part of the white plastic and leave just the parts the cups sit in to be white.

    2. All my cars will have the full mats set as options, minimally. Some have other packages from factory.


    I have reallly great pricing, but you need to email me for details. I need to know what package and color you need. All the details I can get from you via email are helpful and appreciated. They will enable me to send pricing back faster.

    As always, contact me, and only me. Why create hassle when there's no hassle thru me.

    If this is not the place for it, I apologize. Feel free to delete this or tell me to and I will...

    I wanted to quickly say that buying from Dianne was the best experience I ever had when buying a car. It's not even close. It truly was painless. And, I totally love my Prius Four Touring. The price was very fair, she helped me find better financing than I already had, and the finance office offered, but didn't push, the extended warranty and that was it. It was very fast, very easy, and I will definitely contact Dianne again. Thanks, again, Dianne!
