Where is the $1000 loyalty applied (Yes, it should reduce the adjusted CAP)
And, all of the incentives are Honda-to-dealer, so there is no point in asking about them, just adjust your target price to account for them.
We saw $1100 last month, but this month, the info seems to point to $500 of it as purchase/finance only.

Thanks
New to leasing, looking to get some numbers so I know what’s a good deal for my girlfriend. Below is the car she is looking at:
2019 Civic Hatchback EX
Zip 07039
36 months
10k miles/year
Also any current incentives? I showed the salesman another lease someone got and they said that was because it was a sedan which had an incentive and the hatchback didn’t. Could have been BS, don’t know. Just looking to gain some knowledge as well so any input would be greatly appreciated. I think I read the incentives are Honda to dealer so what’s the best way to leverage them if that’s the case?
Also can anyone help with what we should aim for for the car price? MSRP seems to be $24,670 on these. Wondering how low dealers will go or what we should aim for when leasing.
Lastly is there an online calculator to plug in all the numbers (MF, residual etc.) to get a breakdown? Thanks in advance for helping out a noob!

As stated I never leased. So after plugging in these numbers, should I be going into the dealership and expect to make this deal with the exact numbers you provided?
Secondly, since money factor seems to be the interest for leasing, I assume someones credit score will effect the money factor, yes? The rate you gave is for great credit and can go up for someone with bad credit? Any input on this or numbers would be amazing. My GF credit is bad in the 500's (not a single late payment though, just other old stuff), but she's been financing with Honda Financial for 17 months with not a single missed/late payment so I think that should help her.
Below is the quick spreadsheet I put together. If you can please review and let me know if what I did makes sense. Should I go into the dealership with my spreadsheet and try and get them to match it? Any other costs I should take into consideration either on the monthly side or up front. I would like to go in with as much knowledge as possible. Again first time leaser here and just started doing my research. I really appreciate the quick response you've had for everyone. Thanks again!
2019 Honda Civic Hatchback EX MSRP $23,750.00
True Market Value $22,719.00
Honda to Dealer incentive $1,300.00
Down Payment $1,000.00
Old Car Rollover $1,775.27
Cap Cost $22,194.27
Residual Value (62%) $14,725.00
Total Depreciation $7,469.27
Monthly Depreciation $207.48
Money Factor .00127 (3.048%)
Interest Charge $46.89
Pre-Tax Monthly Payment $254.37
NJ Tax 6.625% $16.85
Total Monthly Payment $271.22
You need to account for the acquisition fee ($595, not negotiable) and the dealer doc fee ($400-800, depending on the dealer).
NJ taxes the sum of the payments, and collects that money up front. You can choose to add that amount to the cap cost (and, we do). It will change the math slightly.
Your math is not quite correct - the residual is applied to the MSRP (bottom line number of the factory window sticker, including destination). I get $271/mo before tax.

Also she does have a trade in worth $9,000 (owes about $10,800 on it still). I believe the $9,000 trade in will have a tax saving benefit but i'm not 100% sure how that works. Just want to make sure the dealer doesn't beat around the bush so if you can share some knowledge on how that trade in will work into the cost/tax savings.
Crazy how fast you guys are responding and I really appreciate it! You guys are awesome for helping people out like this, thank you so much!
Not sure how the trade impacts taxes on a lease in NJ. You may want to research that on the NJ Department of Revenue website so you are prepared.

Contacted a 3rd dealer when I didn’t like what I was hearing from the other two. Without prompting or knowing their offers, gave me this one over the phone and then sent photo of the worksheet. While the payment is only 5 bucks less than my next best offer, it includes first mo, tax, tag and govt. fees. (my figuring from last lease puts this at about 670.00) Divided by 36 is about 19.00. Monthly payment would be 261.00 if paid
up front. This is pretty much the exact figure I got on several lease calculators prior to contacting this dealer. Seriously considering. Thoughts?

If this is the best quote you've received, you can either accept it or keep shopping. But, it looks pretty close to your target payment.

Now I have some math I gotta do, cause I got a friend in NY who has leased 2 cars from a local leasing company and he says the guy always beats the normal dealer prices. He referred me to him so I spoke to him and his prices seem good BUT it does not include the $1,800 she owes on the current car. So I gotta take that into consideration but below is the numbers he gave me.
$236/month
Down would be:
first month $236
Bank fee $595
Tax $617
Registration $550 (this is higher than usual but he said something about NY and NJ being a bit different and this covers all 3 years, not 100% about how this works yet)
He said if we roll in the bank fee and taxes then it's $271/month and then all that's due at signing is the first month and registration fee, so should be $821....but again the $1,800 from her old car is still not included in here.
The $1,800 from the car she has now definitely complicates things and the fees are different so hard to compare apples to apples.
Monday going to another dealer and I still need to properly do the math from the 2 above since their are a lot of variables. Sorry if this is confusing. Just posting some updates and looking for some additional insight. Will keep posted and would love some input as well. Thank you everyone!
The $1500 is used to pay the amounts in the right hand column (taxes and fees, plus first payment). It isn't enough to cover all that, so some of it is rolled over into the adjusted CAP cost (along with the $894).
New Jersey, right? Besides the useless $299 etching, there is also a pretty hefty dealer fee included in the $506.85 initial fees in the right hand column. They don't break out that number, so it's hard to tell the amount of the dealer fee.
They've incorporated the $1800 negative equity, by selling you the car for a higher price than they would, if you didn't have the negative.
Why not just keep driving the 2014 Civic?
