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 economically challenged will probably more disproportionately lease as it gets them access to luxury and they desire flaunting wealth.

How much less you can negotiate. The offer on toyota website is 219/month with 0 down so can you go lower ?

Too me it's frustrating because the Toyota website says the 2024 is available for $169 and $0 for me region, but the dealers don't offer the deal
Wow, that's crazy! Good thing gas engines never ever break down! This is only an EV problem and only because it was an EV! /s
I was able to talk to several dealerships to get as much as $4000 off MSRP with no dealer installed accessories or junk fees for the XLE. Dealership in the urban area mostly won't go beyond $3000 off TSRP but suburban area ones would go lower. I have not encountered any dealership trying to sell this car with mark-up yet, mostly with 1-2k off TSRP on Toyota's inventory website.
And $0 down? Sounds like a solid deal.
