Hi, I would like to know if anyone has experience regarding what to expect when buying the RAV4 after the lease has run. I have to decide within the year whether to buy it or let Toyota take it back. I very much like my RAV4. I leased this one both because the lease was a good deal and because I wanted to keep my 2016 options open, but now I am considering purchasing it at the end of the lease. The residual value is around $22,000.
Here are my questions on this topic:
1. Does anyone have experience with negotiating a lower buy-out cost than the stated residual value?
2. What will happen regarding warranties and continued maintenance?
3. I would consider leasing a Chevrolet Bolt: does anyone want to speculate as to the availability and cost of doing so?
Thanks.
Jason
