selling leased tacoma
Has anyone dealt with the new TFS lease buyout policy since Oct. 1?
My 2023 Tacoma lease ends in December and I’m switching brands. My original plan was to sell to CarMax then since they gave me such a high payout amount then use the positive equity for additional down payment. I’m in Phoenix, AZ.
- Did a Toyota dealer buy your lease even though you weren’t buying another Toyota? then not consider it turning it back into the lease early.
- If you had positive equity, did they pay you the difference?
- How long did it take to get paid?
- Has anyone used a dealer group like AutoNation/Earnhardt where their Toyota store handled the buyout while you bought another brand?
- Any unexpected fees/issues with TFS?
Just trying to figure out the easiest way to keep my equity without buying out the Tacoma myself. lots of questions 😅
