if your going to return the car at the end of the lease, there's a fee. If renewing with another lease it gets waved and you can change to a new one 3 months early.

It's a gimmick. Nearly all dealers will do this if you walk in expressing interest in a new car.

Lucky you!
  • If you're lucky, you won't be charged this fee - but most leases do have a disposition fee ranging between $200 and $450. This fee compensates the leasing company for the expenses of disposing of the vehicle after you return it. (Basically the clean up and sale of the vehicle - usually at auction)

$350 return/disposition fee for Toyota/Lexus. That waiver letter is supposed to be from LFS/TFS, not the dealer. So the bank will waive ur 3 remaining payments if u trade it in now.

Sadly I never got mine cause I always traded in a year early.

Curious if I get one of these letters. I have 6 payments left on my GS. I still haven't decided what I'm going to do. I love my car, especially since it was special ordered just for me.

If you don't buy or lease another Lexus they charge you $500. It has to be a Lexus too and Toyota does not qualify.

That's really low miles J! If ya don't buy the car, someone is going to get a hell of a car. From your pics, it looks to be in outstanding condition. That Ammo you use must be some amazing stuff. Ya got any more pics. you can post of the car?

Did that change recently? Because it was only $350 for me last year...
