I'm in SoCal - who is the dealer?
Bill
2017 Accord Sport CVT Mod Steel Metallic
Dealer is in Nor Cal... big dealership.
I'm not going to go to them. I've only been dealing with them over email but they've been really rude and curt.
I asked for an itemized breakdown of what the figures are over email and they responded with "I gave you the info already" (money factor and residual). I'm still confused bc I know there will be other fees... drive off fees, registration, etc. I dont know what else...
I am really a noob at leasing cars so I don't want to just walk in there and let them empty out all my hard earned money. Anyways, they were super rude over email. I don't think I'll buy or lease from them at all.
Keep plugging away - you're doing great!

me n hubby took a buncha hours on slow internet and couldnt find worksheets posted over last months?!?! ridewithgdotcom had one but not here. many many many many members here ask when cheap lease is posted but but no one OBLIGES...................... no one.......................
least now everyone knows what to check for, right-see?
we luv'd the scans and hubby wants me to say pilot looks good n solid ((not great cause he hates any dollars down but hey) but the civic thingy in the other forum is way high. we would all benifit from such scans, yes???
we like to thank the poster kemss for the scans cause theyre appreciated by "at lease(least)" us
hi manny616! if this is the current honda thingy on their site, it goes till november. other than that end-of-quarter-thingy(???) you have time to pplay the game with some of the dealers, yes????
Manny - I think you should be at around $200 including 8 percent sales tax on a Civic LX with no trade in involved. That's based on a selling price of around 1500 below invoice and not factoring in flex cash.
Bill
your right bill. after all the research, thanks to youall here on edmunds and car_man and ridewithg and sum other sites, was onestop shopping.
we had we thought best selling price but internet commitment was no-go. no no no dealers comitted by cellphone
for civic first dealer we drove to said ok to sub-17k selling on saturday and me n my husband (driving behind me and my new civic) drove home tonight in rain with 2013 lx automatic with 8 odometer miles. this is philly. for us theres that honda loyalty or conquest 500 rebate and flex cash down early this month which was $1k total for me
its my car so i signed saturday and drove tonight with 191 for 35 months total. husband said now to be exact to help out he says and to write now quote 0 oop quote and no first payment no trade. 175.23+9%tax=191. dealers in se pa have a buncha civics on their lots now. 12k/36mos
wonderful salesguy said sales were Saturday good that day so they "took a loss" ha-ha-ha!
other honda lease was in may and same thing after all the mails and calls and being in the dealership was best for us. looked for nother cheap cr-v but none in the area for 2013s. dealers weren't moving on 2014s and the accord 2014s had very large mf so that was not going to happen. ymmv
important!!! honda finance now changed the leases starting oct 1. 1500 damage is now 500 which can be wayved to 1K and theirs now disposition-disposal-"turn-in" fee depending on model. 350 for my civic
may lease was 1500 damage and no turnin for crv. hondas better than most but their changing fast
thanks to all the posters and we hope this info able to help all you guys

Also, can you tell me what the current money factor and residuals are for the Civic? Thanks!
.00019 MF and 61% residual.. subtract 2%, if it has Navigation.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
My current Civic lease is up and it sucks to see Honda scale down the wear-tear allowance. Plus for any new lease now we need to pay additional $350 turn in fee? That is ridiculous.
Pull the trigger and enjoy your new Civic!
Now go out this Sunday and throw 4 TDs so we can get another win.

Lets keep it simple. When the dealer quotes 212$- he means before tax. So you will eventually pay more than 220 after tax. And he is just quoting the honda deal going on right now! I was able to bring it down to 190 AFTER tax, zero down. Here is how:
1.First calculate a REASONABLE monthly payment. For Eg, MSRP of honda civic lx is around 19,000. You dont want to be paying more than 1% of the cost per month - that makes it 190$. This is now you TARGET!
2.Get to know the discounts- Honda gives graduate discount of 500$ if you graduated within the last 2 yrs or if you will graduate in the next few months. Honda loyalty or conquest discount - if you own a honda model 2003 or later or you won their competitor models like toyota/mazda,etc - u get 500$ discount.
3. Make a list of dealerships in your area. Email them with your SPECIFIC request - I asked for 185$ after tax, zero down- started low, but not too unreasonable. Few replied in the negative right away. After a few days, emailed them again - this time with information on discounts I could use. Thats when they really started talking.
4. I finally called a dealer who said he could do it for 190 (which I was what I wanted) and fixed the price before I even went to the dealership.
5. Know your credit score- the last ace up the dealer's sleeve is yoru credit score- they can increase the price by saying your credit is not 'good enough'. Check your credit score at sites like credit karma (its free)- if it is around 700, shoud be good enough. Dont let them arm twist you with the credit score technique. Show your own credit score for reference and they cant fool you!
6. I had planned to walk out if they upped the price but they did not haggle any further- my score was pretty good as well.
So, First FIX the price and dont let them sway you! This is a game where if you are not in a hurry to buy, you should not budge till you get your price! Hope this helps you out!
seems the most flex anyones getting last months in sevral forums is 500 (lease/purchase, civic/accord). bottom line is $1k total in the deal as customer rebate not dealer rebate so we pay tax
yeah new leases have reduced damage but "loyal" customers get that bumped to 1k from 500 per honda website. also loyal customers will have turnin charge wayved leasing or buying another. yeah not as good as before but bit better than other companies leases like toyota, nissan, etc. remember free gap insurance too
maybe when we need tires in the next 2-3 years they'll be the MXV5 or 6
we had heavy rain lately and husband says that firestones arent as bad on highway as he thought they'd be so we'll just have to see how long they last
good luck

Please advise whether this is a good deal. Thank you!
I'm interested in leasing two Honda Civic LX Coupes before the end of December. In Miami, one dealer is advertising $99/mos (12K miles /36 months) and $3000 down, not including tax, tag & fees. Is this a good deal?
Would they be more willing to reduce the downpayment since I'm buying two cars at once?
Thank you,

I received the offers below from my first dealer:
2013 Honda Civic LX Coupe (Manual):
Selling Price 15050
Add #1 790
Total Inc Acc. 15840 (Invoice - $17497)
Trade Allowance 0
Cash Difference 15840
W.T.& L.A 6.5
Electronic Fee 89.95
Dealer Fees 699
Total Taxable Amt 16635.45
Lemon Law 2
Miami-Dade Cty Tax 50
FL Sales Tax 998.13
New Tag Fee 425
Amt to Finance/Lease $18,110.58
And for:
2013 Honda Civic LX Coupe (Automatic):
Total Inc Acc. 16580 (Invoice - $18238)
W.T.& L.A 6.5
Electronic Fee 89.95
Dealer Fees 699

The difference between invoice and sales price is $1,657. Can I still expect to get less by comparison shopping? Also, I have not asked about the graduate discount or flex pay yet which could also reduce the price. That may also help.
