I checked Toyota's website from two different computers and two different IP Addresses before posting this information on September 8th and 9th. The explanation for this probably has to do with different zip codes when you search for specials in your location. Thanks for the feedback. I'll remember to search from a couple of different zip codes before I conclude that the latest lease offers haven't been announced. Thanks for writing, Rob

Monthly Car Lease : Best Car Leases August 2010

Jason, sorry it took me so long to reply.

$223: Great Payment.
Nothing Down: Even Better!
If your figures are accurate that means your LVR (Lease Value Ratio) is under .90%. This is one of the best car lease deals I've ever seen. Nice work!
Your low monthly payment combined with "nothing down" is better than any of the advertised car lease specials on the manufacturer's website. This is why I recommend always asking for a better deal. Thanks for writing.

Mazda, Buick and a few other car companies have not released their July Lease Specials. The June CX7 lease for $239 a month and $3334 Down will end tomorrow, July 6th. Hold tight and I will see what they have for July on the Mazda CX7.

Kent, Sometimes the Car Websites make their offers hard to find. For Toyota, simply go towww.toyota.com. From there, choose the Shopping Tools option at the bottom of the page, and it will ask you for your local zip code. The car offers, including lease and low APR deals will show up for each car you choose. Just walk into your dealer and say, hey: \\\"I want that $129.00 a month lease special on the Corolla\\\" or whatever...Tell them you want the deal with no money down. that\\\'s your starting negotiations point.

Monthly Car Lease : Lease vs. Buy Car

Tue, 6 Apr 2010 02:18:17 +0000

alm, Thanks for writing. Normally, leases are not available on cars that are 1 year old. Car leasing is usually reserved for brand new cars. The reason it makes sense to lease is because you can get into a brand new car without paying for the entire depreciation of the car as you do when you make a purchase. If you can find a lease deal on a 1 year old car, the residual value will be lower than it would be on a new car, and the interest rate higher because banks will have to make up the difference in profit somewhere. So, my guess is that if you could find a lease on a 1 year old car, it won't save you much, if any money. Brand new cars with super high residuals are the way to go;, like Honda, Toyota and Nissan.

Monthly Car Lease : Truck Lease Comparison

As it turns out, the Toyota Tundra has been a very sweet Truck Lease deal. Toyota has really gotten an unfair publicity rap lately, yet their quality and financing of great automobiles speaks for itself. The Toyota Tundra is an excellent leasing vehicle.

No, she won't get $12,912 for a four year old Ford Focus and if she doesn't trade it in, she will be faced with repair and maintenance costs: Brakes, alignments, tires, etc. $200 a month for a car lease on a $22,512 car is hard to beat, especially if you paid little or nothing down. That's a bargain!

I think this sounds like an excellent deal. Unfortunately, I do not see this deal listed among the local offers from Toyota. Is it possible it's through the dealer rather than an advertised special from Toyota? For what it's worth, Toyota's 4x4 Cab is leasing for $359.00 a month with $2,699 down and $329.00 a month with $2,299 down for the 4x2 Cab. A $399.00 down offer for $399 a month would certainly make sense. I'll research this further and do a quick little truck lease comparison, which I'm due for anyway.

Thanks for the comment, Rich. I know plenty of financial advisers who are responsible, but don't always give the best advice. I realize that leasing cars is not for everyone and would never recommend it to someone who prefers to sink their hard-earned cash into a depreciating asset, or simply enjoy owning and working on their own cars for a number of years.

Monthly Car Lease : Best Car Lease for January 2010

That is good to hear. Personally, I am not crazy about the Insight. It looks too much like a Prius. :( The Civic is such a nice little car. I will report back about what our local newspaper is advertising as far as a Civic Hybrid Car Lease for January. Thanks for commenting. Rob

Very nice list. I can't disagree with a whole of these selections. Damn, Jim Hall is awesome. When I read this it instantly reminded me to get out one of my old Jim Hall records. I love his recording of, You'd be So Nice to Come Home To. What a great player. Best regards, Rob Cool Archtop Guitars

Yes, I plan on doing a Top-10 Mid-size SUV as well as a Top-10 Full-Size and maybe the economy, little 4-banger Sport SUVs that are becoming so popular. I haven't decided whether or not to combine them all or keep them separate. Meanwhile, I am about to release a Toyota-vs-Nissan Lease showdown which will feature lease comparisons between the Murano-vs-Highlander and the RAV4-vs-Rogue. Please check back soon!

$319.00 a month would sound much better if I didn't have to put that $3600 down! Yikes. I guess you just can't lease a luxury car for under $400 these days.

I should have mentioned another myth: "When you Lease a Car, you're stuck with it" This is not true, and I will explain the details in another post, soon!

Synthtopia : The Korg MicroKorg: The Most Popular Synthesizer Of All Time?

Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:50:28 +0000

Support is the main benefit of a popular synthesizer. You would expect it to have so many goodies and add-ons by the time it gets a title like most popular synth of all time. 100,000 does not seem like a lot to me. The Yamaha DX7 seemed like it made a far bigger splash in the industry, but that's because times have changed. Relatively speaking, though, the DX7 is still the leader in my opinion. http://synthsale.com
