I have a 2005 Tundra I loved it but like it a lot less these days due to poor service and the fact that it's going on 3 years old and going on 3rd set of tires due to excessive tread wear on outer front. There was a recall on front suspension/lower ball joints took it in for work (ATTENTION BEWARE)check the vehicle and paperwork always and with any front end work always ... Read More...

Toyota Tundra Lease Questions

Re: 2005 Tundra SR5 -lease buyout info [2005tundra]

For those of you discussing why the lease end value is high on the 05. Toyota credit had a deal in early 05. 36 month leases with 24 month residual AND less than 1% MF. It was a great deal but the end value was high for those that wanted to purchase. Its as simple as this: If you have a high back end you have a lower payment. If the back end is lower, you have a higher payment. ... Read More...

I feel the same way ...I'm buying out this truck irregardless ..just because it offers me everything I want in a truck. I'm located in the NE so that's why the values may be a bit higher. Yet again the saleslady called today...wants me to come in to discuss my options. I specifically asked for the finance manager ...& that ended that phone call. Suddenly, when you ... Read More...

I think Toyota requires you to use a dealer simply as a marketing tool. Obviously, any customer they can get in the door is a good thing.... Make sure you ask about "document fees" and such before you use that dealer. My dealer charged $50 for title transfer and such. If you're going to finance it through one of their lenders, the dealer will get a kick-back from the ... Read More...

KBB seems to be high by all regards. I tried to sell mine a couple months before the lease end and couldn't get any takers at $22,000 which is what I needed to make it worthwhile in my mind. I've done several lease assumptions and I usually come out very good on the tail, almost getting all my payment money back. Dropping much below $22,000 didn't appeal to me so I just ... Read More...

I just bought out the lease on my '05 DC 4x4 as well. My residual was only $19,500 though. Funny they were that far off..mine is about as loaded as an SR5 can get and was a 12k miles/year term. I did a lease assumption on mine though so I had nothing out of pocket initially and the lower residual actually helped me. I did a lot of looking and I felt $19,500 was a fair number. ...

2005 Tundra SR5 -lease buyout info.

Written by: 2005tundra on Jan 14, 2008 07:08 PM

Hi Car Man, NEED TO FIND OUT IF BUYING OUT THE LEASE ON A 2005 TOYOTA TUNDRA SR5 / DOUBLE CAB/ 4x4/ 4.7 / V8 is the most economical way to go. The truck is coming off a 3 yr. lease (w/ $5M down) low mileage ..only 14,000 miles. The Lease Payoff amount is = $21,000. I can't afford to buy a new 08' truck nor do I want to get into another lease w/ higher payments for an 07 or 08 model. ... Read More...

Interesting, your assumption is that Toyota which are close to becoming one of the biggest auto manufactures in North America with sales based on customer satisfaction, quality and higher resale will not be able to produce a full size pick up? Second you state that the Toyota pickups of the past are not up to the task when it comes to work? Why then has the Tacoma ... Read More...

I've been doing a little "trolling" myself on this site. I've been bouncing between the Titan and the Tundra. I think what most people fall into is the "hype" of finding what's wrong with their trucks, since it's a Toyota. They have either owned one that ran perfect forever or knew someone that had one that ran perfect forever. My brother bought a Tacoma back in 2005 ... Read More...
