    $1200 dealer cash until 5/3/2010. There were 2 lease offers on LX models on Honda's website earlier, but they are gone now. I believe one was $1999 down, $199/month, and the other was $249/month sign and drive. All of these were without TTL.

    Anyone know the current residual and money factor on 36/36k EX lease? I don't know if they changed in March or not. Thanks.

    Just spoke to a local dealer. He doesn't have all the details as they haven't run a lease yet this month. There are 2 programs, one is a .00127 money factor, the other is .00137. He believes the .00127 is zero down.

    He also said the residual will either stay at 60% or go down a point to 59% on an EX. Made an appt. to see him on Saturday.

    Does anybody (I am sure Carman can help) know the money factor and residual for a LX Accord and Civic LX both 36 month lease and 36K miles? Also I am located in NY so if anybody got a good deal on these two cars would really like to see the quotes dealers are giving in March. I am a previous Honda owner with no damage on my current car and my miles are under term for my current lease. Seems like isles1 got a good deal. Thanks for help all.

    From what I can see on Honda's website, they have the LX leases back on there with the $0 down $250 lease going until 5/3/10. Does anyone know if the $1200 dealer cash is real and if it can be combined on a lease? Also, is it common to translate the advertised lease onto a different equipment vehicile like I am interested in?

    Lastly, it looks like the residual for the LX is 60%, does anyone know the residual on the EX-L Navi (4 and 6 cyl)?
  • glenmetzglenmetz Member Posts: 20
    The dealer cash is real. I called and spoke to a local dealer yesterday and they gave me a price $22,100 on an EX 4 Cyl. Its basically $259 over invoice with the $1200 taken out.

    I think residual on EX-L is 56, but don't quote me. There leases are available on other models, you'll just have to pay any difference. If you are interested, get a price quote and go from there. Most deals I've seen on here are $200-$500 over invoice. If you have a few local dealers, you can probably get down there as well. I was offered that $259 over on the first contact. I'm actually going to see that dealer today on lunch.
  • s1ginss1gins Member Posts: 51
    It looks like interest rate (money factor) would be 3.048% (.00127), they are claiming a residual of 56%. Paying first month, title and registration fees of $1000 gives a monthly cost of $312 (plus tax) on the Accord EX-L with Navi, 3 year lease with 12K miles per year. Any thoughts?
  • s1ginss1gins Member Posts: 51
    The deal looks to be $1625 under invoice. Does that seem correct?
  • glenmetzglenmetz Member Posts: 20
    Went in and spoke to a dealer today. This is for a EX 4 Door, 4 cyl, all standard equipment

    Negotiated Price-$22,100
    Amount Due on my Current Car-$4,751
    Acquisition Fee-$595
    Capped Taxes-$1046.59
    Total of Above-$28312.59
    Trade-In Amount-$2000
    Cash Down-$486.22
    Net Cap Cost-$25,826.37

    Putting $1000 down breaks out into:
    $486.22-Cash Net Cap Reduction
    $351.28-1st Months Payment
    $150-Fees and Insurance
    $12.50-Upfront Taxes

    Residual-60% ($15204)
    Money Factor-.00137

    35 monthly payments of $351.28. I think we are waiting for now, need to discuss with better half tonight. Oh well, that upside amount on my current car is really killing us. I could have leased that car 0 down for $269 if I didn't owe anything else.

    Super Preferred Tier is 710+ Auto Enhanced FICO based on whatever bureau they pull in your state (In NY its Experian)
    Preferred tier is 660-709 Auto Enhanced FICO.

    Super Preferred MF is .00137 (3.288%)
    Preferred MF is .00212 (5.088%)

    Hi...
    What's the money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Accord Coupe EX L w/ Nav, 4cyl, auto with 12,000 miles per year ?
  • bry3bry3 Member Posts: 2
    Can the Aquisition fee be negotiated down? or waived?
  • victor23victor23 Member Posts: 201
    No. At least not in any regular situation and without explicit consent of AHFC.
  • kyfdxkyfdx Moderator Posts: 268,122
    $595 on every lease..

    Concentrate your negotiations on the price of the car..

    Hey kerb. Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Accord Sedan EX-L V6 with 12,000 miles per year are .00137 and 56%, respectively.

    If you opt to go with Honda's nothing due at signing option, the money factor drops slightly to .00127.

    I don't believe that Honda Finance offers 10,000 mile per year leases on Honda division vehicles, but if it does the 10k resid would probably be 1% higher.

    Honda is currently providing $1,200 dealer cash on the 2010 Accord..

    No problem gator62. Honda Finance's March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Accord Sedan EX-L V6 with 15,000 miles per year are .00137 and 54%, respectively.

    This car's factor drops slightly to .00127 if you go with the nothing die at lease signing option that Honda is running this month.

    If you were to lease with only 12,000 miles per year, its residual values would be 2% higher.

    When negotiating your lease on this car, make sure to take advantage of the $1,200 dealer cash that Honda is currently providing on it.

    Good luck and make sure to let us know how everything turns out.

    You're right about the dealer cash, glenmetz. Here's the information on the current lease program that you're interested in.

    Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2010 Accord Sedan EX 4-cylinder with 12,000 miles per year are .00137 and 60%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier. The factor drops to .00127 for "Sign & Drive" leases.

    Hi s1gins. Yes, the $1,200 dealer cash is available on leases through Honda Finance.

    Honda's special money factors on the Accord are available on all trim levels, but your payment will vary depending upon which one you get because the the MSRP and selling price will vary.

    Honda Finance's current residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Accord Sedan EX-L 4-cylinder with navigation and 12,000 miles per year is 56%. It drops to 52% for the V6 model.

    Do you know the money factor/residual for a 2010 Accord EX-L 4 cylinder without NAV, 12K miles for 24 month lease? Is there a sign & drive option?

    Thanks.
  • capplacappla Member Posts: 29
    Hi Car_man - what are the residuals for the following with 15,000 miles per year for a 36 month lease.

    - 2010 Accord Sedan EX 4-cylinder
    - 2010 Accord Sedan LX 4-cylinder
    - 2010 Accord Sedan LX Premium

    I assume the money factor is .00137 or .00127 for "Sign & Drive" leases for all 2010 Accords.
  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    Here you go, grandzu. Honda Finance's March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2010 Crosstour EX-L AWD with navigation and 15,000 miles per year are .00137 and 57%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

    The money factor for an otherwise identical lease of a Crosstour EX-L AWD without navigation is the same, but its residual is 2% higher.

    If you opt to go with Honda's "Sign & Drive" promotion, the factor improves slightly to .00127.

    Hi angleral. To me, the easiest way to tell if a lease is a good deal is to look at the selling price that it was based upon. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Let us know how much the dealer is charging for the Accord that you are considering and I'm sure that either myself or another helpful community member will gladly let you know what they think.

    Just received a quote on an EX-L (4cyl auto) lease 36 months, 12,000 miles per year for $290 a month ($315 with taxes) with 1st payment and DMV fees only out the door. I had originally calculated a higher payment based upon the Edmunds "True Market" price so I wanted to be sure this was a good payment for the NY metro area.

    Thanks!

  • feedeyfeedey Member Posts: 2
    Is this still 60% or has it now dropped to 56%? What is the residual for 15,000 miles on the same?

    I used to work in the car business as an honest salesman until I was forced to leave because I refused to buckle in and get with their schemes and scams to force people to get into contracts they didnt fully understand. I got this via email today.

    15 years ago I told Ron Craft (the dealer I got my start in the car business with in 1984) “Customers aren’t shopping for a car they are shopping for a salesperson to buy a car from”. That was the way I approached car sales when I got into it after having been in the shop for a few years. I didn’t know it then but I was using social media.
    Each day I would I would take brochures, donuts and coffee to local hair salons, boutique stores, doctor’s offices ect. talk with the employees, customers and patients about just anything… and cars too, I got to know a lot of people and got a lot of referrals. Before I knew it I was selling 20+ cars per month and in 1988 I made over $80K selling cars in Baytown TX.

    For a single 20 yr old making $80K and yr runnin around in a free Camero, well those who know me know can certainly imagine the trouble I was able to get into, that’s another post (maybe).

    On each sale I got to the point that I would pretend to take the deal to the desk. Just leave my office hang out in the back for a while then return with a number. It was great fun and I think the reason I have stayed in the car business as long as I have is that it was and still is fun.

    This morning while working out and listening to Seth Godin as I often do, all the pieces started to fall into place from my early days selling cars to now and the use of social media in the car business. I Tweeted this morning “Customers will no longer pay for salespeople who are merely a cog in a machine #thedeathofthedesk in automotive”

    People are shopping for a salesperson…an experience, social media starts that experience with the salesperson early and can greatly enhance the customer wanting to buy from that person and your store. You dealers that are blocking Facebook, Twitter and keeping your salespeople from blogging you are killing yourself and stopping many customers from connecting with the experience, DON'T.

    Secondly, we all know that the back and forth to the desk process…customers hate it. They want their salesperson to be empowered, so let them be.

    Bottom Line – the desk was put in place to control gross… here is a wakeup call dealers, the market controls gross now you don't. Abundance of information has removed that responsibility from you, you don't have to like that fact but you do have to live with it. For the record I am with you I don't like it either, some of my best retail memories are of working the desk.

    Pricing is a function of the market now, your job is now price positioning and differentiating your buying experience. Social media and how you interact with customer pre and post sale has a great deal to do with that experience. Make no mistake about it like it or not you are seeing the last days of the desk, and because I love it so much and want to remember it in its prime I am willing to put a bullet in its head now and put it out of its misery, you should too.

    That’s my opinion…what say you?

    What is the MF and residual for a Honda accord coupe ex-l 4 cyl
    without navigation 36 months for 12k miles a year. Thank you!
  • xalgxalg Member Posts: 1
    I am turning in a 2008 Accord EXL w/Nav early. The dealer agreed to cover most of my remaining payments, and roll in what's left. We negotiated a price but now the dealer claims that there is $800 damage to the car, and he wants that as a down payment or added to the lease. I have a $1500 damage waiver as part of the AHFC lease. He says the waiver is not applicable if he turns the car in.
    Does anyone know if he's being truthful?

    Car Man and everyone else,
    I have been cruising these sites for a few years and your info has helped me get some good deals on 2 cars so far! Thanks for doing what you do!

    I just wanted to get some thoughts on this deal:

    2010 Accord EX-L, 4cyl, no nav. Sticker on the car was about $27,600, got the price down to $23,629.00. The deal that I have pending is $320-$325 after tax, $400.00 up front, 36 month lease, 12,000 miles per year. I am in Orlando, Florida (6.5% tax). They are also throwing in 3 oil changes.

    Unfortunately, the do not have the color combo I wanted, but they are getting it for me this afternoon from another dealer. So I have some time to stew on the deal and see what you all think of it.

    Thanks for any info!
  • iluvnewcarsiluvnewcars Member Posts: 23
    You can compare my deal with yours & see for yourself.
    V6 ex l with navi.
    Everything rolled into monthly payments.
    398/month that includes NY tax.
    $398 due at delivery.

    I hope this helps.

    I'm not Car Man, but I just leased a 2010 Honda Accord LX and have a residual value of $13,539.00

    The car deal was: $178.00 + tax and 1300 down (including extra fees) for 35 months (b'c first month covered by dealer) on a 36 month, 12k lease.

    Hope this helps.

    Can I please get the MF and Residual for a 2010 Coupe LX-S.

    I will be leasing 1st or 2nd week of April--I need help--what is a fair price per month--does any one have personal experience
  • akrakr Member Posts: 33
    What do you think of this deal for a 24 month lease (need 24 months, not 36 months).
    2,300 down
    595 Lease fee
    $139 per month +tax

    The 24 month lease does not appear to be available with less cash down, or at least the MF increases significantly.
  • jodiendajodienda Member Posts: 12
    Just wondering where people are finding all the specifics on other models besides the LX and LX-P? The Honda financial site states that "Lease offers displayed are for well qualified buyers, excludes tax and license and apply to specific car configurations". I was told this by my dealer as well so I ended up leasing an LX-P for 258 per month with everything rolled into the payment (tax, license, etc).

    Had I known that dealers are offering the same money factors, etc on EX-L's, I would have gladly paid the extra 60 dollars a month or so to do that :(....

    Thanks...

    jodienda,

    I'm not sure if you're aware or whether this is even relevant to your situation but there is sufficient information provided in all of AHFC website's lease promo ads to compute the money factor and residual factor as follows...

    Res Factor = Residual Value / MSRP

    Money Factor = [Pmt - (Net CapCost - Res Val) / Term] / (Net CapCost + Res Val.)

    I didn't see any lease promo ads for the EX-L. I'm guessing that you probably provided your zip code to check regional offers and found none other than those offered nationally.
