This was in the news. I haven't contacted the dealer yet but it looks like $2210 pay down and $125 a month. My simple math says about $185 a month.
This excludes any dealer discounts. But may exclude some other fees. I have never leased so no clue.
Great as a third car. Note that this model didn't get very good reviews - hence it being priced accordingly.

Toyota built this as a compliance car to fill a gap in the lineup and has zero focus on it or care. If anything, it is the 'look we built an EV, it sucks!'. The first production run had WHEELS FALLING OFF. They recalled every single one! The car is slow and just utterly wild in it's idiocy.
We test drove the badge engineered Subaru version - the Solterra. Same car, different logo.
The list of infuriating choices piled fast. Want to move the driver's seat? BEEPS. CONSTANT BEEPS.
Want to back up? It beeps on the inside and inside only. Who are they warning?! Me? I"M DRIVING THE CAR.
The performance is just bad. It has a quick little bit of torque and then falls on it's face.
Did I mention the range sucks and that the car does not support fast charging so you literally cannot roadtrip it without hour-long-stops?
All in all, it just felt like Toyota was completely uninterested in building it as it is lower margin than gas/hybrid.
Then you have the ioniq 5. Hyundai's focus is straight up on on beating the Tesla Model Y. They are serious and in it. The car is shockingly better looking in person than the BZ4X. The interior feels like tomorrow and has innovative ideas, way more range, way better software, etc.
Korea is currently having the same moment that Japan had in the 90s, Hyundai should be taken seriously, esp in the EV space.
TX offer is $4k down $219 a month plus TTL

The low monthly largely due to the high lease cash amount on the base model. With 2024 XLE being slightly more expensive than 2023 XLE, as well as AWD being slightly more expensive than FWD, you should expect the monthly on 2024 XLE AWD be about $100 more than 2023 XLE FWD ($42 from lease cash difference and $60+ on year model and drivetrain cost difference).

Looking to get one (from NJ also) and might check out Plaza. Did they give you any issues? Any tips/tricks you think might help if I go tomorrow?
They also stated while 2024's are 8-10 weeks out on delivery, the current deal ($169/$2K down or $229/$0 down) still applies if you order one by tomorrow. You just have to wait for delivery. So get a salesperson who will help rather than scoff at the fact that nothing's available. Good luck!
Which state/city?
Looking for Texas/Dallas numbers
That is a solid deal… mine was 2024 bz4x, $267/mo + 420 down (including first month, taxes, registration and all) OTD. Connecticut.
