In short, the best way to get a good deal on a lease is to negotiate as low a selling price as possible on the vehicle that you want and then have the dealer calculate your monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.
Anyhow, check out those articles and let us know if you have any other questions.

I just thought of something on the option of extending the lease. Does that also extend the mileage allowance? I had a 36m/15K lease. If I extend 6 months or 12 months, do I get another 15K miles or a prorated amount?
Reading mags and online, seems the best replacement for the old Pilot (need the 3rd row) is the new Pilot (room, mileage, amenities, reliability). But with the current lease rate, a new EXL (assuming the selling price is $ 30000) lease with no down is nearing $500/month.
I don't think the new Pilot is worth the $200/month extra over the old Pilot. So looking to possibly extend the lease (with American Honda Financial) for 6-12 months, and wait for the next screaming Pilot deal (economy doesn't look like it will recover anytime soon).
Just wondering for those who extended with American Honda Financial. Questions:
1. Are there any additional fees for CA?
2. Does it affect the damage allowance when I eventually return it?
3. Is it month-to-month or every 3 or 6 month extension?
4. Can I return the car at any Honda dealerships nationwide?
5. Does extending reduce the appraisal value (thus making the car harder to return without penalties)?
This was my first lease, thus I have no experience with returns or extensions. So appreciate any feedbacks from folks who leased (especially from Honda) before.
Oh yeah, if anyone seen new Pilot EXL with no down for $ 300-350, let me know.
It is getting close for your search re EXL (FWD or AWD?) between 300-350/mo.
This week I saw one special lease no money down with $338/mo (b4 tax), 39 mo., for 09 EX FWD (only ONE available) ... keep on checking

no money down, $398/mo. for 09 EXL - check its monthly promotion

I typically don't like leather seats but the 06 leather was a rare exception, that is why I would prefer EXL over EX.
Just wish Honda would put hybrid in these for 30 mpg city. Then I would buy one (not lease) today. My other car is a Prius, so it's hard to deal with 17 mpg city (thank you cheap gas, for the time being).
EX (2WD) 12K miles - Money Factor? Residual? Term?
EX-L (2WD) 12K miles - Money Factor? Residual? Term?
Thanks in advance!!
Although, in the past, I have seen some companies do a 39mo/36K lease.. but, it's an unusual occurrence...

I extended lease option on my 2006 Pilot EX-L by 24months with the option of canceling it any month (month-to-month lease). I have the same monthly payment AND I could opt out at anytime. I would get 1050 extra miles per month for next 24 months. There are no penalties.
09 LX AWD Pilot lease $335/ month for 39 mo. 39K total mileage. No $ down.
If there's anybody who leased Honda Pilot on Socal recently, please post the information. My lease will be expired very soon and would like to lease Honda Pilot, again.
Thank a lot in advance.
Completed deal today. Huntington Honda, Huntington, NY - very pleasurable to deal with. Took time to deal with me and virtually guaranteed to beat any other dealer, which they did.
Thanks to all who have posted and provided me with the information I needed to make an informed decision and ask the right questions.
Thanks

I am looking for a deal on the same Pilot or maybe a Highlander Limited.
We got it from Huntington Honda. I put down 2K but had my 2005 Nissan Xterra lease paid off 4 months to go
We are ready to lease a Pilot, but we would like to take our chances on waiting until late February since we still have one more payment to go on our current lease and don't want to have two ~$600 payments in one month if we can help it.
Oh wait... I found it. Car_man posted the above in message #2197 on Jan 16.
Is that still accurate as far as you know, Car man?
Pick the car you want and then look for incentives link
Car_man???
39 month lease @ 399.00 per month
No money down
Tax, Bank Fee and DMV up front
PLUS they are taking my current Honda lease back 2 months early
I did not ask for the breakdown of Sale price, MF and residual.
From what I have been reading this deal doesn't seem bad at all.
Please let me know what you think ....Thanks
Thanks for the info. Was that including DMV fees and taxes? Is that 410 including tax? Can you provide me w/ the dealer and salesman? Better than any deal I've haggled so far.
Thanks,
Keefe
The big gamble of course is the potential loss of the $1,500 in dealer cash.
My question is though, even if the dealer cash gets extended, doing I also run the risk that the residuals can begin to fall on the 2009 Models?
The current quotes I am getting on the 2009 Pilot EXL (AWD) for 36/15m are 48% with the .1151 money factor. (I was also shown that the 39 month lease uses a 47% residual).
Car_man, do you have any insight or trend in residuals and money factors? I know the D3 lease market is non-existent. But man, I feel I am in murphy's law territory - that I will be damned either way!!!
Thanks.
Kcy I am in the Chicago area, so not sure if the dealer info would help you.
The real kicker is that in IL - we have to pay sales tax on the $1,500.
selling $30250 + bank fee
39 month resdiual 49%
money factor .00151
adding reg and doc + tax , you can be around $412 a month.
Do you think you can ever do better going forward.
$30,900 for the car - lease payment was $544 (36m/15K). I rolled the tax and acquisition fee into the lease, only paid for first month and tags, title. They gave me free the all season floor mats.
I am sure there is more wiggle room in the price, but they were the most upfront. After the 1st email and 1 phone call he emailed me a detailed sheet. It had the correct money factor, residual and miles. He even went over the 39 month options if I was interested.
We agreed over the phone, I faxed them the completed credit app, and when I got there they were ready for me. Reviewed the numbers, showed me the car (already prepped) and walked me right into F&I. I was there at most 35 minutes.
I dealt mostly with the sales manager and another salesman. I think the salesman was new and the SM was helping him walk through the deal. If you want their names, shoot me an email.
Invoice (according to edmund's) less $1,500 plus 599 (dealer fee)
36 Mo / 15K
Residual 43%
factor .00151
Acquisition fee ($595) rolled into the lease.
Is the residual value accurate?
Residual for 39 Mo. is 42%
