REF: 4979 I'd give them another chance. tell them you need to understand how they came up with 337 when you came up with a lower number. The lease calculator is fairly easy to use - check it out: http://www.leaseguide.com/calc.htm
Thanks Pegasus17. I can understand why a third party leasing company would do that, but not Honda's own. There's enough profit in NAV that they could easily support the price of that option by bumping up the residual value. BMW Finance does that all the time to boost sales. It seems very shortsighted to me.
Thanks again, pegasus. We will see. I thought a lease payment was calculated on a depreciation fee + Finance fee. Based on the information I was given wouldn't that be: $286?
Thanks...I think my calculation may be closer to your's if I add in the taxes and acquisition fee. I planned on paying that up front. I will consider rolling it all in.
There are accounting rules concerning residual values. If Honda's experience indicated that a car with NAV had the same residual percentage as one without, they would be required to use the same percentage. Ask your accountant.
I have a few questions: why is the sales price still so high? why is the taxable base so low? is there a trade? title tags and misc is too high at 506; what state are you in? looks like your 1500 down is covering ccr 687, 1st 307, misc 506
I didn't negotiate a lower selling price and wanted to see what they came with first. I stated up front that I would not be putting any money down and I wanted to know Net Cap Cost, Residual, Money Factor and monthly payment. The math doesn't jive. I am located in Minnesota. I don't have a trade. I am in a current lease (my fourth one). This would be my 5th Honda lease. I am going to continue shopping. I know I can do better than this.
Recently leased the 2013 sport Accord sedan for $282/month (tax included; 36 months, 12k/yr miles) with only $680 down which included, first payment, DMV and other minor fees. This was in Tarrytown, NY. I had contacted several other dealers and as always, they tell you something over the phone or email and beg you to come in only to come up with something different once you visit them. This dealer in Terrytown was right on their promise and made it basically the same way the told me over the phone.
During this whole process, I only wished any dealer in New York had the same clear cut online calculator as Weymouth Honda. Thanks to this great forum, I used the calculator all the time to see how close of a good deal I was getting. Well, this one I got is only a couple of dollars over what's Weymouth Honda is offering on the Sport sedan right now.
Thank you all for you help and hope this info may help others looking.
Thanks JC. This does help. Always nice to know what others are paying. I was quoted too high recently and this helps validate it. I hope you are enjoying the new wheels.
That is higher than my quote on an EX Accord lease MSRP $26,195. I should be able to get a payment under $300 for what I want. I think your's is way too high. There is a previous post of somebody who leased a Accord Sport for $282/month.
If you visit the weymouth honda site and check their lease calculator, they are leasing the EX-L for $300 plus tax, with $239 doc fees, $125 Mass registration and first month payment of $300. The Honda Finance fee is in the $300. You may not do that well in NY but you can shoot for it.
In Northern NJ, What can I expect to pay for a 36 month lease 12,000 per year on a 2013 Accord LX. I am getting numbers all over the place, and higher than I expect. This will be my personal 5th lease, but about 10 in the family.
Would consider a 2013 Civic LX as well, both automatic.
REF: 5002 Good luck with that offer. The weymouth price (for comparison) is 235 pre-tax. That includes their 239 doc fee and 125 reg fees. I suggest you do NOT put down more than 500 o-t-d per car.
*Internet Lease payments are based on $0 down, 36 months and 10k miles per year. Price is subject to Tier One credit and include $500 college graduate and $500 Military rebate. Does not include: Sales Tax, dealer doc fee, dealer prep, MV Fees, Bank Fee, or any installed accessories. Must take in stock unit. *
Are Weymoth Honda Lease calculator numbers reasonably applicable in other states? They state that the residual numbers are supplied by Honda varying from model to model, but the money factor can vary right? Going tonight to my dealer and want to be prepared! :confuse:
money factor on weymouth site is based on excellent credit residual % is set by honda sales price set by weymouth; they include 239 doc fee and 125 reg fees you have to customize it for your state and situation
Some of the best lease rates I've seen have been with third party lessors with higher bank fees and disposition fees than Honda Finance, plus they get you with the excess wear and tear. Even if this lease is with Honda, I'm sure they would get you with the dealer prep fees and probably every car available under this lease has some ridiculously priced dealer installed accessories.
I have a 2010 Accord and had my inspection today. I have some whopper of dents, and the inspector told me that I will be charged $600, twice (one on rear bumper, one on front bumper) and $200 for some scratches around the car. He claims not to have ink in his printer so he couldn't give me an inspection report but did say he would email me it (but he hasn't yet).
I am looking to return my Accord Lease and finance a CRV EX-L, through AHFC (AHFC also holds my lease). So, my questions are as follows:
1. What should I do with respect to the damage I have now? Repair it? Try to Negotiate with Honda? Assuming I go through with my CRV purchase and finance it through AHFC, will AHFC forgive my damage?
2. If AHFC refuses to waive my damage, what should I do? Get another inspection and fight the claims (it seems that if the inspector says $600 damages twice, and my own independent inspector says $500, then I could get it waived under the AHFC damage waiver policy).
Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
My 2010 lease is up as well and I have damage that I need to repair, however, some dealerships will and can take of these repairs and inspection...work it out in your negotiations. I had previous dealerships do this for me and was offered it again today in addition to them covering my remaining lease payments.
However, I have to say I test drove both the CRV and Accord today and I am not sure I am sold on either of them. Thinking of Ford Fusion or Escape but have yet to test drive those.
Can I ask why you decided to go from an Accord to a CRV? The CRV didn't seem to have as tight of steering as the Accord does, but personally I don't like all the technology in the new Accord and really do not care for the keyless ignition. I am going to test drive them again and see what I think because I have had Hondas for the past 15 years and it's hard to think of switching.
I got this offer in Phoenix, AZ area, for Accord LX CVT, 12K mile, 36 months. Please let me know what you think: MSRP: 23,270 Selling price: 21,474, including destination fee RV: 14,427.40 MF: 0.00125 Acquisition fee: 595.00 Documentation fee: 390 + tax, title and registration
Thanks. I just need a larger car, and with the damage and all to the accord I figure I can get it forgiven if I take out another honda (this will be my third honda purchase or finance and I actually want to do a fourth one trading in my fit for a civic). I an weary about buying American and don't want to lease.
I tried to talk with the dealerships about just accepting my car but since my lease is up in 4 days they aren't willing to do anything concerning my damage. Also I think my residual is too high on my accord and i have no equity in terms of miles (right on pace)
REF: 5018 Sales price is too high. Should be closer to 21k; it's 20.6 here in OH Doc fee is completely negotiable in AZ; don't pay more than $100 if you can help it (tough sell, i know) Other numbers are correct. Use this OH deal as proof that your AZ deal is too high. However, please realize that prices vary by region and supply/demand. LX models are plentiful - most want a power seat...
I looked into an Escape but decided I didn't have time to take it to the dealer for it's monthly recall. Consumer Reports just reviewed the Fusion. Suggest you read.
What are the odds of them forgiving? Especially if I am willing to finance/buy a new CRV EXL (and possible up to four additional cars (no joke, really 4 additional cars)

I'd give them another chance. tell them you need to understand how they came up with 337 when you came up with a lower number. The lease calculator is fairly easy to use - check it out:

I'm sure there are some others...
Some are surprisingly low... so, even if they charge on the full price, it's not a lot..

Does anyone have good info on money factor and residual for a 2013 Accord Sport CVT in North Carolina on 36 month lease with 12k vs 15k?
Thanks
I want to get two Accord LX Base models.
200$/month per car.
$1500 total out of pocket, not a dime more for anything else, per car.
12k miles a year, .15 cents a mile over.
Reasonable? Or should I push for 180$ a month?
What can I expect to pay for a 36 month lease 12,000 per year on a 2013 Accord LX.
I am getting numbers all over the place, and higher than I expect.
