Hello vish_dc. Generally speaking, savvy consumers who live in an area that has a decent level of competition are usually able to beat manufacturers' official advertised lease payments by shopping around. Shop around for the lowest possible selling price on the car that you're interested in and then have the dealer calculate your monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.
I'm actually a big fan of leasing...if the deal is right. Honda's current lease program on the 2012 Accord is fairly attractive so I personally would be inclined to lease right not.
As far as the selling price goes, I personally would shoot for $500 or so over dealer invoice...which would turn into right around invoice once the $500 dealer cash is taken into account.

I'm getting quoted invoice plus a freight/destination fee of $770. So that is $20,118 + $770 = $20,888. Is that a good deal or should I not be paying the destination fee.
Also, I am being quoted a $399 processing fee. Is this standard with most dealers?
Hi vish_dc. Everyone has to pay he destination charge on new vehicles. The $399 "processing fee" is another story. This is nothing more than a charge being levied by the dealer to pad deals.
Honda is currently providing $500 dealer cash on the 2012 Accord, so a deal at invoice is really equivalent to $500 over...$899 over once the "processing fee" is taken into account. Is this a good deal? It's not bad, but I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to beat it by a couple hundred dollars if you're in an area that has a decent level of competition.

I am now being offered an Accord LX-P for $255 per month (lease) under the same terms as the $250 per month advertised program. I asked what sale price they are using to calculate this lease payment and they said around $21,650 (including freight). Is there a way to confirm this? I tried using the calculator on the Honda website but it gives a lease payment of $383 per month for the price mentioned. I am assuming that the $250 per month advertised program uses a lower money factor which the payment estimator on their website is not using. If that is the case, I would appreciate it if you could provide the money factor for that lease program, or any other information that may help me calculate the sale price.
You're welcome vish_dc. Ultimately there will be a way to confirm what selling price they are using to calculate your car's payment because it will appear on your contract when you go to sign.
Payment estimators on websites are notoriously inaccurate for some strange reason. One would think that automakers would update them with the latest and greatest program info, bot for some reason they often don't.
Using an MSRP of $23,950 and a selling price of $21,650, I estimate that a 2012 Accord Sedan LX-P would have a 36-month, 12,000 mile per year, zero down, pre-tax monthly payment of around $221.
I used a money factor of .00050 and a residual value of 60% to calculate this payment.
Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
I got the lease numbers from the dealer for the 2012 Accord LX-P. The monthly payment seems to be a few dollars off but here are the numbers:
MSRP $23,950.00 Price $21,267.00 Tags $ 68.50 Tax $ 705.25 Proc Fee $ 385.00 Bank Fee $ 595.00 (standard for all Honda leases) Residual 60% Money factor .00050
Payment $259.00 Term 36 months (35 remaining) Mileage 12,000 per year
A couple of questions:
- On a lease, do you still have to pay the destination fee of $770? Trying to figure out whether they included destination in the "Price". - Is the Bank Fee in fact standard for all Honda leases? - Any other fees I should keep an eye out for? - Can you lower the lease payment if you pay a security deposit? I leased a BMW a few years ago and was able to lower the monthly by paying 1 or 2 months security deposit. - Does Honda charge a disposition fee if you don't purchase the car? - Your thoughts on this deal.

I am returning my 2009 Honda Accord EX-L, also on a lease, and aiming for a 2012 Accord E-XL.
Hi cobm428. The dealer invoice price of this car is $22,469. If you subtract the $500 dealer cash that is available on this car from that it drops to $21,969. The selling price that you were quoted is even lower than that, so you're getting a very good deal.
The money factor that you were quoted looks good, too.
If you like this car, I personally don't see any reason not to go for this deal.

Hi smar. That would be a decent pre-tax payment for a lease of this car with 15,000 miles per year. Since you're only going with 12,000, I'd shoot for a pre-tax payment of more like $280. Of course, if sales tax or any other fees are included in the payment that you mentioned then it may be a better deal than I originally thought.

Can you please tell me the current MF and residual for a 2012 Accord Sedan EX-L V6 with 15k miles/yr for 36 months?
I saw that you recently posted the October 2011 MF and residual (0.00050 & 56%) for an EX-L I4 with the same terms as above, but my logic tells me that a V6 would depreciate differently than an I4. I'm new to leasing, though, so what do I know!
You're right, docholladay, the residual value for the V6 is slightly different than it is for the 4-cylinder.

Hey car man. Quick question. I want to lease a 2012 accord exl-v6 with navigation. If I have a excellent credit score what should be the vicinity of my monthly payment with 0 down and 12k a year. Any help is appreciated.
This sounds like a very good price. Can you provide more info on your deal. Like what was the MSRP and selling price also Money factor and residual?Which dealership gave you this deal?
I wanted to get some feedback from the group. I got a quote yesterday on a 2012 Accord EX-LV6 fully loaded without Nav from a NJ dealer. Getting 15,000 miles on a 3 year lease.

Hi stone23. The dealer invoice price for the car that you are interested in is $27,620. Honda has $500 dealer cash on this car, so that would drop the invoice price to $27,120. That puts you at around $800 over invoice, which isn't bad. If you are in an area that has a decent level of competition, I wouldn't be surprised if you were able to beat this deal by a couple hundred dollars but this isn't a bad deal.

Is credit score very more important in leasing? My dealer gave me a good purchasing price for 2012 SE. But my scored dropped almost 50 points after checked by a few dealers. Now they gave me interest rate of 5-8%. I am thinking to do leasing instead. Would that solve my low score problem?

It wouldn't hurt to see if the dealer would be willing to give you for your off-lease Accord if it is in good condition and under mileage. I personally know someone who was returning a leased Accord and not even getting a new Honda who was able to get the dealer to give them some money for returning their vehicle at that dealership.

i just leased an accord lx sedan from ourisman honda in bethesda. i put 2,050 down and pay 294 per month for the next 35 months (lease is 36months, 12k miles/yr). residual is $13.5k
Those numbers includes all taxes, tags, title, lease processing. it also includes 700 of dealer add on such as door guard, splash guard and 200 for the warranty program (realign tires, roadside assistance)
Not to bust your bubble, but looks like you got taken on this deal.
I've been offered $220 a month (including tax) with only 1st month and DMV out of pocket (about $400-$450 total out of pocket). This was on a Base 2012 Accord LX Auto for 36 months, 12K per year. I turned it down and am still looking. I'm in NY with a 8.37% tax rate.
Looking to be around $200 a month (tax incl) with only 1st payment down (only $200 total out of pocket). Waiting till next month when the end of the year comes and dealers are pushing out cars. Some of the deals I see on here are outrageous....too much !!
Great info on this forum. I just got a quote yesterday on a 2012 Accord EX-LV6 fully loaded with Nav. Getting 12,000 miles on a 3 year lease. Was quoted $358/mo no money down. I'm bringing in my 2009 Honda Accord EX without Nav w 30K miles. Is this a good deal? Thanks
I assume that you just returning your 2009, not trading it. If so I would say the price is great if it is actually no money down, just 36 payments of $358 each.
I am in northern Ohio. Checked but they don't do out of state leases. I have a columbus and southern Michigan dealer who matched the same price if that helps anyone. Just pm me for the info.
We're interested in Honda Accords $260. per month (or Less) special lease offers. We're Pre-Qualified by Honda Financial Services for a Lease, but it doesn't give the Rate or any other info.
Could you please advise what to look out for when shopping with our local Nashville area Honda Dealers so we won't get taken advantage of??
I live in Orange County, California. A dealer emailed me the sale tax for accord EX 2012 about 10.5% - 11%. How come the california tax is so different. I think CA tax is 7.75% only. Does the 7.75% not apply for the new car purchase?

Honda Finance charges a $595 acquisition fee on every vehicle that it leases.
