    While checking out basic advertised leases for Honda and Acura I came across these:

    2008 Accord LX
    MSRP $21795.00
    12,000 miles
    $259.00 month - 36 months
    $2479.00 due at signing

    2008 Acura TSX
    MSRP $28905.00
    10,000 miles
    $299.00 month - 36 months
    $1499.00 due at signing

    2008 Acura TL
    MSRP $34440.00
    10,000 miles
    $359.00 month - 36 months
    $1999.00 due at signing

    The bland style of the TSX doesn't bother me and I'm ok with the 10,000 miles per year. I leased an Accord with 12,000 and never came close to 36,000.

    It's been about 7 years since I last leased a car, but the Acura deals look a lot better than Honda. Am I missing something? :confuse:

    Ya, isn't that weird how you are able to get a better deal on a BMW, Lexus, Audi, than a deal on the Honda?? Its like wow, I can get a $30k car, and still be in the same range as an LX accord? I would go for the most loaded car for the money!!

    The Honda advertised lease deals, ARE NOT anything special. They are horrible deals, they are simply pointing out, if you put this much down you'll have a payment of...
    Plus the price of the car is strictly dealership MSRP. Take away the down payment, and you'll see what your really leasing on an LX Accord. Its not anything special.

    But yet, I can put money down on a BMW, Acura, Audi and be in the same payment range... Thats crazy. In this case, I would pick the Acura, but remember, you have to negotiate a deal yourself, and not take the deal advertised, after all, they want you to take that deal=$$$$.

    I was offered $309 a month on the TSX with first payment due only. From Ed Martiin
  • kilnkiln Member Posts: 41
    Wow, if I can get $300-309 a month with no money down I'll have to say bye-bye to my quest for an '08 Accord. Unless of course they offer the Accord EX-L V-6 (sedan) for the same price. :) Thanks for the information.
  • vital411vital411 Member Posts: 67
    I've had this same factor in the back of my mind - My buddy got an 08 TSX back in Sept and he loves it. I like the new accord - but i'm not going to over pay for it. I have on order a 08 EXL 4Cyl Navi MT - supposed to be in in 2 weeks (has been delayed 4 times already) if it's not in by the end of Dec i'll be getting a TSX as i'm currently borrowing a car as my last least was up on Nov 12.

    Anyway, the 2 better factors on the Accord are 1) the better gas mileage (and the fact that is needs 87 vs 91 octaine). and 2) the fact it's a bigger car ( i think the Tsx is just a bit to small but will drive it if push comes to shove).

    We'll see what's what... anyone have hard MF numbers for Dec? Are they still the ridiculous .00270?
  • bvdj84bvdj84 Member Posts: 1,724
    Ya, It really does pay off to look at other car leases. You are sometimes able to get more car for the money, The TSX has a MUCH BETTER deal than the Accord. $421 a month for an accord lease? That is a little high. That starts to go into another category.

    I like the fact that the accord is nice is size and new, but the tsx would be smaller and perhaps sportier. I am not even sure yet. I want the EX-L navi, but I really don't want to pay anything more than $330 for it. Lowest amount possible down, if any. I could just get the EX-L, but the navi looks fun!
  • vegasrphvegasrph Member Posts: 47
    Hi. I just want to make sure everyone know that Acura (Honda's luxury line) is running a very, very attreactive lease on the Acura TL. Right now, dealers are giving lease prices based on INVOICE of the car....plus the interest rate is 1.9% on lease!!
    Just for example, a 2008 Acura TL with Navigation on a 36 month/10k miles a year would run about $400/mo (plus tax) with $1,000 out of pocket due at signing.

    And the TL w/o Navi is running about $360/mo (plus tax) with $1,000 due at sign.

    Acura has 3 different models, but all models come with a V6 (258HP) and are fully loaded (compares to Honda EX-L V6).
    Right now.........until 1/2/08 (special ends)........you MIGHT be able to do BETTER on an Acura, than you could on a Honda. Wow. It's worth a look and an email to your local Acura dealer.
    I am in the process of getting my lease deal finalized, and it was a "no brainer" to take the Acura over the Honda on a lease!!
  • bvdj84bvdj84 Member Posts: 1,724
    Please let us know what deal you get on which model you got.

    Thanks.
  • vital411vital411 Member Posts: 67
    I've looked, the problem is I want a Manual Trans, and only way to get that on a TL now is to get the Type-S. I also want Nav - so that brings it up to just about 500 a month, and you need 91 Octaine gas and they dont' get as good MPG as the honda and they are more to insure. SO it ends up being quite a bit more expensive (at least of for me but i'm looking at the I4 not the V6)

    If my car EXL I4 NAVI MT gets delayed any more i'll be getting an acura, either the TL or the TSX depending on the final deal.
  • bvdj84bvdj84 Member Posts: 1,724
    Ya, The TSX looks like a good option. I would get the navi with it. It looks like alot of fun. My current lease is getting close to its mileage soon, I have 28,000 on it, I can have 36k on it, The only thing is that my lease is up Jan 09, but I'll trade in early so that way I am not hit with overage charges. I really want an EX-L with navi, but it really want to wait til spring, but have been doing extensive research on what the market is right now. I got a quote for $426 for the model I want, 36mth, 12k, 0 down. Thats high!!! with a sale price of $28. I should be at around 26k sale price, and lower payment than that. I could get the EX-L without navi and get a better deal. I am not sure, it'll be fun to get a new car, but to go through picking one out, getting a deal....whew! what a job.

    Hi All -

    Does anyone have the residuals and money factor for the 2008 Accord EX?

    Thanks,
    Jason
  • mstyladymstylady Member Posts: 19
    Can anyone explain, in simplified terms and by way of explicit examples, what residuals and money factors mean and how they affect pricing, payments, etc? Are these concerns only when leasing or are they, or rather, are the ultimate figures important when financing as well? Probably, a stupid question, but I have no clue and would like to understand.

    Many thanks!
  • nicrob94nicrob94 Member Posts: 1
    EX V-6 residual is 64% and money factor is .0027
  • marys236marys236 Member Posts: 90
    bvd, I am in a similar situation with my 36 mo. Accord lease, I'm going to hit my 36,000 mileage way before my lease is up, are you having any problem trading it in so soon? Are they giving you enough trade-in value to cover the pay-off on your lease? I'd love to trade mine for an Acura TL, especially with the deals right now.
  • bvdj84bvdj84 Member Posts: 1,724
    Marys236,

    I had no problem trading back in August when the deals were so good on the upper models, I was simply going to move to an EX-L V6, and literally pay the same a month. They covered my payoff completely, now that my payoff is even lower, I should have no problem trading, as my value hasn't gone down that much. I also take extreme car of my car, detailing/maintenence.

    You should have no problem trading, as long as you stay with Honda/Acura line, as they know that honda's are a good value. Other brands might not give you as much. Even then, I don't see it being a problem.

    I'll start test driving in Spring...I would like to test drive an Acura. With the stiff prices on the Accord, it makes other models look much better financially. Really I want to score a deal for an EX-L with navi for around $26k. With the prices of the accord, it almost makes the BMW 3 series look better, Acura, VW,

    Looking for a car is so annoying and fun all at the same time.
  • wildmanwilsonwildmanwilson Member Posts: 4
    Well, I just bought an Accord EX-L 4 cyclinder today for my wife. Has everything but the navigation. Took some wheeling and deeling but got it out the door and on the road for 26,100. I did a lot of dealing on the telephone and called dealers in 3 states. They wanted to deal face to face but I played the game on my terms. If they didn't want to give me a price then I would deal with one that would. I ended up with two local dealers. One gave me 26250 and didnt want to come down. I called the other and told him if he gave me 26000 then the deal was his. I ended up giving in a 100 dollars and closed the deal. Then the fun part...I called the other dealer back to tell him he lost out by stringing me along. I think I could have even got a little lower but I think I did pretty good and was tired of the whole thing.
  • bvdj84bvdj84 Member Posts: 1,724
    Well Congrats!! What colors did you get? The price you got was pretty much fair, although some areas are going lower. But, dealers are literally treating this car like its some rare car. A dealer would rather lose a customer, but in my opinion, getting the car off the lot, and keep them moving at a decent price and rate, would keep the dealership successful. Some dealers have used that approach, and have become very well off. If I were a manager, we would go over the facts of selling, and let my sales associates know, that we don't want to turn away any customers, but as the same time won't take a hit for the car either, both parties must be able get something from the deal. Also, I would hammer customer service tactics into their heads, treat the customer with respect, and don't ever push them. I would hire good applicants for that. Some dealers hire some kid off the street, and they have no idea of what they are talking about, and don't know a clue of customer service. Anyway, some dealers see $$$ and thats all.

    Well I am glad you got your car, and I bet your drained from it all, have fun, I am actually thinking of getting the EX-L without navi, and saving a little money on my payment.
  • nringnring Member Posts: 97
    nicrob94 or anyone..do you know the residual and MF for an 08 accord ex-l v6 with navi for a 12K/mi year 36 month lease?

    Thanks,

    What type of pricing are you Seattleites getting? My online quotes have been brutal, averaging $1400 over invoice. WAAAAYYY too much. Looks like I may be going the Altima route through the Nissan VPP plan.
  • roadtoruinroadtoruin Member Posts: 2
    Does anyone know the December MF and residuals for the 08 Accord LX? Thanks
  • dl1224dl1224 Member Posts: 2
    Hello. Before I start, thanks for this excellent forum. I was at the dealer today near Boston, MA. Right when I was leaving the dealership, I was offered the following deal.
    2008 Honda Accord Sedan EX.
    $275/month including tax
    $1000 in out of pocket cost.

    Is this a good deal? I think I could definitely get the out of pocket cost to $500.
    How much lower can I get the monthly lease price?

    Thanks,
    DL
  • vital411vital411 Member Posts: 67
    If that 1,000 is the only out of pocket $ you need to put down (meaning it includes first Mo payment, Acq Fee, and any doc fees they are charging) then it looks like a good deal.
    I tried to work with a lease calculator to get that number so i could see what they are selling the car to you for. ( I assumed you are in MA being charged 5% tax).
    I see the MSRP is 23,860
    using a Money Factor of .0027 and a residual of 63% (I've seen these number on the forum recently)
    If I plug in a selling price of 20965 i get a lease payment of 275.10

    This is a below invoice price (by almost $400). So i'm wondering if that 1,000 down isn't including the above mentioned fees. If it is, i would go for it.

    -Andy
  • jaxs1jaxs1 Member Posts: 2,697
    There is no blanket residual. The residual depends on the mileage and length of the lease. When people ask for and provide residuals, the term and mileage needs to be included.
  • dl1224dl1224 Member Posts: 2
    Thanks vital411. The 1000 does include fees and 1st month. I think I should probably go for it.

  • vital411vital411 Member Posts: 67
    My Bad, i should have mentioned i was working with the more popular 36mo 15k/ year lease
  • tspintomtspintom Member Posts: 1
    The Grand Rapids, MI Press for Sunday Dec.23rd has an ad in the Automotive section by the Honda Dealer advertising "HAPPY HONDA DAYS". And also touting 2.9% financing on all new Hondas. Ad states, "All prices plus tax,title,plate and doc fee. 2.9% for 36 months through AHFC with approved credit. Excludes any prior purchase. Interesting!
  • foxhoundmefoxhoundme Member Posts: 29
    I've been doing some research for some time and came across this deal and need some seasoned help whether this is a good deal or not. Here's the following:

    Honda Accord EX-L V6 28554.00
    18" Wheels 2392.00
    Back up Sensors 649.00
    Wood Trim 242.00
    Wood Steering Wheel 202.00
    Interior Illumination 184.00
    Rear View Camera 652.00
    Auto Day/Night Mirror 374.00
    Tax Rate @ 3% 997.47
    Documentation Fee 398.00
    Tags 55.00
    Total Price: 34699.47

    I want to lease given the my situation instead of buying because I do not believe I will be in this vehicle after three years. If I lease I understand the MF is 0.0027 and the residual is 63%, what would my payments be and how much out of pocket should I go with? I want to lease for 36 months with 15K miles. Please advise.
  • jaxs1jaxs1 Member Posts: 2,697
    That is would be a horrific car to lease with all that junk installed and a doc fee of almost $400. Most of those add-ons wouldn't even count towards the residual.
  • vital411vital411 Member Posts: 67
    Let me just ask a few quick questions:
    First of all the EX-L and the V6 EX-L both come with the Auto day/night rear view mirror - so why are you adding this accessory?
    Second, why would you want backup sensors and a rear-view camera. Just get the camera and save 650.
    Third - Leasing a car with so many add-on accessories is really a bad idea and i'm the biggest pro-lease guy there is! The reason is all of these are added in on-top of the agreed price of the car and not calculated into the residual of the lease.

    W/o all these accessories you are paying 28554 for a car with an MSRP of 30260. With a MF of .0027 and a Residual of 63% a 3 yr 15k/yr lease would be 392.18/ month without tax.
    Now when you add all the accessories in (and i took out the Day/Night Mirror and the backup sensors) you would be paying 32266 for a car with an MSRP of 30260. WIth the same terms as above, this makes your payment 504.10/ month without tax.
    Your down payment would be First Mo Payment, Acq. Fee(usually 595), Doc Fee (which in this case seems high at 400 - should be 100 or less), and Tags. (I'm not sure what this tax is as most leases have taxes charged per month on the payment and not based on the total price of the car but some states don't allow this, if you post what state you are in I or someone else may be able to help).

    Your only other option if you want all of these accessories is to pay them as part of your downpayment, since they total to $3672 you would end up with a downpayment of about 5,000 which is outrageous - especially for a lease which is really a rental. If the car is ever totalled you would lose all of that.

    My advise to you (and as i said before i'm a very Pro-Lease guy) is to buy the car, or forgo the accessories (or just pick one or 2 of them). Adding close to $4,000 in accessories doesn't work out well when you can't get anything for the at lease end where as if you bought the car when we went to sell or / trade-in you would get some value for them.

    Good Luck!
    - Andy

    The other alternative is to pay for the accessories as part of your downpayment
  • foxhoundmefoxhoundme Member Posts: 29
    Hello vital411

    Thank you for your response, I want to say I was looking for another voice to tell me if I was making a bad decision. When I spoke with the dealers none of them said, "wait a minute you would be better to try this alternate solution" - I guess they figured I knew what I wanted. I was not aware you could get the day/night mirrors on this model and the comment about the backup sensors make sense. I live in the state of North Carolina where the state tax is 3%. I found myself over the number of years buying a new car almost every three years and reconsidered my buying habit to look at leasing. I will go with adding only the camera, and the tires which should take the total to $31598.00. Those other accessories were nice but in reality did not make sense as you have stated for a lease. Now that I have a better picture of what to ask for; what will my lease payments be based on the new total? If I understood you earlier, my down payment should be the first month lease payment + acquisition + documentation fees and tags. Can documentation fees be negotiable? Thanks for the reality check.
  • vital411vital411 Member Posts: 67
    I just did some checking online and see that NC charges that 3% fee for any vehicle that is titled, including leased vehicles. This is instead of sales tax, so i'm assuming that this isn't going to be added to the payment like most states do as you'll pay the 3% up front.
    That being said, i worked up a new payment with the revised capital cost (price you'll pay for the vehicle) at 31598 brings the payment to 484.96
    therefore the difference in monthly payment to add these accessories (the wheels and the camera) is $92.78 / mo.

    I also just took the price of these accessories and divided them by 36 to see the price / mo without any interest - that comes to 84.55 - so you only save like $7 per month by financing the accessories vs. paying for them up front so i would advise to finance them as you don't want to pay any more money up front then you need to. (again since it's a car you don't own).

    Personally I'm in this same boat - i'll be leasing a EX-L 4cyl Navi MT (ordered it 4 months ago and it should be in this week) and wanted the camera, and the Spoiler but couldn't justify adding all these accessories to a leased car so i just went for the spoiler as i think it looks nice w/ it. Thing is my last car had the Rear Camera (2004 FX35) so i'll really miss it but it's a choice i'll make.

    Finally - if you want to run your own numbers you can go to google and search Lease Payment Calculator and find any number of these tools that will help you. I have my own excel spreadsheet that i made as I like seeing many options on one screen but for most people the web calculators are fine.

    Good Luck!
  • foxhoundmefoxhoundme Member Posts: 29
    Hello vital411,

    You have been a great help...I am now armed to go ask for the vehicle I want based on your suggestions. Thanks for your help and I hope your EX-L V4 Navi MT comes through in a mighty big way!

    Hi:

    Most of us have seen spl. lease advertisements in newspaper that look too good to be true. Often these advt say - 1 or 2 cars available at this special rate.

    My question - are these deals for real? What are the hidden costs to lookout for?

    A local dealer is offering Honda Accord LX (Automatic) for $199 ($3,000 down, 36 months, 12K miles) with a residual of $14,000 and MF of 0027.

    The exact same car is being offered by Honda for $259 ($2,500 down, 36 months, 12K miles) with a residual of $14,000.

    Am I missing something? Or is this really a good deal.

    Please let me know as I am seriously considering this deal and plan to finalize this tomorrow.

    Thanks!
  • CarMan@EdmundsCarMan@Edmunds Member Posts: 38,514
    Hi quattro5. Honda still is not providing any lease support on the Accord. Given the current tough environment for auto sales and the intense competition in this segment I suspect that it will have to eventually introduce lease support on it some time in 2008. It is difficult to say exactly when this will happen though.

    The Accord's lease program varies by term and mileage allowance. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Honda Accord LX-P Sedan or an EX 4-cylinder Sedan with 15,000 miles per year are .00260 and 63%, respectively.

    Greetings mstylady. These aren't silly questions at all. There's no way that you would know what these terms mean if you have never leased before. They are specific to leasing and have nothing to do with conventional loans. The best way to find out how leasing works is to check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment. After you have read them, let me know if you have any specific questions and I would be happy to answer them for you.

    Hi pm79. The "catch" in the deal that your local dealer is offering is the $3,000 capitalized cost reduction (aka down payment). I always advise consumers not to make down payments when leasing. Those who make them risk losing them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though it means that your monthly payment will be higher, you would be better off going with a zero down lease.

    The best way to get a good deal on a lease is to negotiate as low a selling price as possible on the car that you want. Shoot for a price of a couple hundred dollars over dealer invoice.

    I recently leased an '08 Accord EX (4cyl) with rear spoiler. I put down $2,500. and walked away with a payment of $302. before taxes, etc. $330 with all included. I think this was a good deal and I'm happy with it because the car is sweet. It rides beautifully and has a lot more power than the 05 Accord. I test drove a 6cyl and found the 4cyl's increased power was satisfactory for me. :)
  • pm79pm79 Member Posts: 13
    Car Man:

    Thanks for your reply. So does that mean we should look for least capitalization cost?

    In my case Honda is offering a similar lease deal with same amount of down payment and $259 monthly payment.

    Besides the capitalization cost, is there anything else I am missing in this deal. It looks too good to be true, but the only catch is super preferred credit, which fortunately I have pre-qualified with Honda.

    Let me know if I should go ahead with $199 per month deal.

    Thanks!

    Hello jb turner

    Sorry about the delay...no this is not a vehicle quote from Van York Honda.
  • vital411vital411 Member Posts: 67
    Well it's hard to say, because the money factor for the new month is usually kept secret until that month starts, but since the current money factor isn't great, there is only one way for it to go, and that is down (so if they money factor goes down the payment should go down).
    The dealer's price may go up however, as they are probably more motiviated to sell a car on Dec 31 vs. Jan 1.
    So it may be a half truth.
  • bvdj84bvdj84 Member Posts: 1,724
    last day of the month, they gotta move a car, so they can have 1 more sold on their list. I doubt much will change, or it could possibly get any worse, as it can only get better pricing from now on, as dealers can less likely claim the excuse, well its a new design, its too popular to keep on the lot, which I don't believe at all. If that were the truth, I would see them all over my town. Which I haven't. There are cars still on the lots that have been there since Sept arrival. If you go on the last day, you are more likely to get a deal, The first of the month, not so sure, because they have the whole month to meet quota. It is crazy though, you can get a fully loaded Acura TL, or TSX for a much better deal than the accord!

    I am hoping to get a EX-L 4cyl, Navi, with a final price in the 25k range. Hopefully, I can do it.

    I have an 06 SE Accord, with a 36mth lease, with 12k a year. My lease ends Jan09.
    According to the mileage that I should have at the end of each month, I should have 24k, on Jan 10 of 2008, but I have 29k miles. So I am about 5k over my projected mileage. Meaning, if I were to wait I would be atleast 5k over my 36 allowed miles. I also have been driving more lately, I see my mileage increasing past 5k over. Obviously, I am not going to keep it til Jan 09, because it would hurt my contract.

    When Should I trade? I am thinking this Spring, If I drive reasonably, I will have 33k in May. What looks better on my trade? Being a little under, so that way they can offer the warranty left? or wait right up til 36k. Let me know, its not too complicated, but just wanted a little bit of feedback. I am not worried about my trade in value, plus my payoff is low enough now.

    Hi - actually, I never thought to look at an Acura TL fully loaded or not because I was told that Acuras are a fortune to lease or buy. Much more expensive than an Accord. My dealer gave me this deal for an Accord LX: $3000 down on a 42 month lease with a $250 a month payment. His thought was that I was crazy not to take such agreat deal. Then I found at another dealer a Zero down payment for an Accord EX for 32 months! Not such a great deal on the first one eh?
    I'm finding all of this car business very distressing along with the pressure that's put on you to go for a deal. I'm wondering if I just shouldn't wait for a 2 yr old car to lease!

    Would you mind telling me the deal for the fully loaded Acura TL? I'm curious to know. Thanks.

    Well, Acura is having much better incentives on all there cars, and they are very attractive right now. I believe you can get a TL with minimal down for around $360, or a TSX for around $300 with $0 down. But, check the Acura Forums for more specific numbers and deals. You are more likely to get a better deal on an Acura right now, than an Accord.

    If you really want an Accord, do your research, look at realistic numbers, then start putting in online requests. If you try hard enough, you can get close to what you want.

    I have seen a load EX-L 4cyl, Navi, around 26k, when the price is MSRP 28k. I have even seen around 25k,

    Remember start with $0 down on all deal, then if you feel you want your payment lower, EVEN after all the negotiating, then put some down, but don't tell them that til you have to.
