My Take: The Prius has a $500 rebate available to customers, which makes this car slightly cheaper to lease than in the past. You probably won’t get this car at invoice + the $500 rebate, but you will certainly get it at $500 under MSRP. The residual value is fairly strong which will help keep the your payments lower than most cars despite the fact that the money factor is high. Just watch out for the options, this ride gets expensive quick.
On another note, I’ve updated the January 2009 DO NOT LEASE list with more cars. I figure I’d get those out there soon since we’re near the end of the month.
