Hi Steven. Honda Finance's lease return process is very reasonable. It waives up to $1,500 in excess wear and tear charges on the vehicles that it takes back. I'm not saying that it's impossible to get hit with a charge, but your vehicle would have to be pretty messed up before you would have to pay any sort of excess wear and tear penalty at lease-end.

Hi jsdilops. Honda Finance's June buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 Pilot EX-L 2WD without Navigation with 15,000 miles per year are .00142 and 55%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier.
The residual value for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year is 2% higher.

Credit score is 712 Experian (which I think is what Honda uses). Higher with the other two. Can I expect to get Tier 1 financing? I can't find this info published anywhere and am beginning to wonder how objective it really is.
Could you please provide Honda Finance's July's buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 Pilot EX-L 4WD with 15,000 miles per year?
My lease is up on my 2009 Pilot's and i'm planning to trade it in for a new one. I have two months left on lease but i am at 36,000 miles already. The residual value on the original contract was $18,291.15. I checked with Honda finance and they said current residual value is $20,619.12. Difference of $2,327.97.
Okay thanks Kyfdx! I called them and they gave me the payoff and the taxes are not included in the payoff in California. I still have 6 months left on lease.
By chance do you know the residual and money factor for 2011 EX-L for July?
Hi car_man I went to look to lease a honda pilot ex-l $0 down sign and drive with taxes rolled into payments. 15k miles / 36 months, the gave me a payment of $475 and told me the money factor is .00101 that seems awfully low for the money factor, are they playing games with me? Also is 475 a good price in general.
Hi, not car man but see my posts in Prices Paid...just got 2011 EX-L $0 down for $372/month, $759 due at signing. First place I went to (while getting my 05 Pilot serviced, wandered into sales) wanted $448/month + 2K down. You may want to shop around - they want to move 2011s right now.
Check out weymouthhonda.com. They have an awesome lease calculator with all the current money factors and residuals for every model. The sale price you see used for the calculations is what their internet price is. This price can used as the baseline for negotiations for folks in other parts of the country.

I just received some paperwork from Honda Finance and it does mention in there that they waive the first $1,500, there is an asterisk in there but for the most part it is true, Thanks again.
I thought I would post on here my lease I just got from Smart Honda in Des Moines, IA. They were great to work with and I believe I got a fair deal.
2011 Pilot EX-L Alabaster Silver with Black Leather MSRP- 36860 Negotiated Price 32313 state tax 6% Lic $374 Doc Fee 185 Title $25 Aquisition $595 I leased for 36 months, 12K miles a year. Money Factor .00107, residual 56% I paid for the lic, doc and title up front and first payment. Total monthly payment is $400 on the dot. I think I did well. I got roughly$4500 off and by my calcs with the invoive being 32488 without the $810 Honda destination fee was about a $1000 under invoice. I shopped 9 other regional dealers and none of them even came close. The best offer for the price of the vehicle from other dealers was $33300 even after some hard pressing.
The 2009's should start coming off 3 year leases soon. Should I wait as the current used value is over 27k but the residual for a 2009 EX-L should be about 20k. 56% of 35K. Any insight would be helpful?
Here you go dad23. Honda Finance's August buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2011 Pilot EX 4WD with 12,000 miles per year are .00107 and 57%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super PReferred" credit tier.

So as I'm shopping for a new car and will hand off my current leased car. Do I have any additional attraction (negotiating position) to a Dealer because I'm delivering my pristine Pilot to his/her Dealership? OR: does it mean anything to them?
My wife's 09 ex-l lease is up on 3/2/12. I have been able to get a exl- res for a few bucks more per month, but we see the 2012 is refreshed in the front and rear. Dealership tells me the money factor and incentives won't be this good on a 2012 until next spring. What do you think my chances are of getting the same deal I have been offered in august for an 11 in September on a 12?
When do you think the 12's will be at current lease deals and can I extend the lease a few months to hit the discount time of year for the 2012 pilot? thanks.
Sounds Exactly like my quoted offer of yesterday: 2011 Silver/Black EX-L Selling price $32,200 MF .00107, Res 56% 12K Miles/36mos
He incorporated the Aquisition fee into the lease to get me ato $429/month. He dropped from $489/month just last week, so i think this is a good deal considering the $32200 selling price. Any opinions welcome
Honda Pilot EX-L W/NAV silver/grey leather - right under touring model. $0 down $1572.00 (title taxes fees etc)+428 first month. 12k 36 mo. $428 a month w/tax.
njcrv2011 - would you mind telling me if your $428 includes taxes? I am assuming by your nj handle you are in the Garden State so perhaps your $1572 included taxes? Are you able to say which dealer you worked with?
Yea taxes included on both the down and the monthly. Openroad honda in edison. They will definatly work with you on the price. I wanted the touring model but ended up with the EXL NAV. The only difference I could see that mine did not have was the signal in the mirrors, rear dvd, power lift gate, chrome trim on doors, shades in rear passenger.
Yes, zachman1, the money factor that you were quoted is indeed correct. I believe that .00061 is for regular leases and .00051 is for leases with nothing due at lease signing.

We've turned in a few leased Hondas, but I don't remember whether they checked the tires. Our Pilot needs new tires but we are 5 months from turn-in and hoping to make it to the end without replacing. Has anyone had any experience with the tires coming up on inspection?
Hi Love2Drive, Yes, there is a minimum tread requirement when turning in your Honda. You may want to compare your current payoff amount to current KBB trade-in values. If your payoff amount is lower, your dealer may offer you a bit of cash for your Pilot (and the dealer then pays off the car and gives you the difference). I turned in my Ridgeline lease for a Pilot lease, and the Ridgeline had a couple issues beyond normal wear and tear. I ended up walking away with some cash from the dealer, rather than going through the lease turn-in. The dealer wanted it to sell as a pre-owned on their lot, so I just signed a lease payoff agreement (i.e., they payoff the lease on my behalf); rather than going through the inspection. The nice thing about this approach is that you can do it at any time without early termination penalties.
Thanks. I was worried about the tire issue, now I know I wasn't completely paranoid.
I went to my dealer today and they offered me a lease payoff, and we are seriously considering it. We'd get a '12 Touring, with the same payment we had on our '09 Touring, and no end-of-lease penalties to deal with. No cash back, but they are offering a fair amount when I look at KBB values, so I am satisfied. And I wouldn't have to buy new tires!
Looked at a 2012 Touring today, here are the numbers:
36mos, 15K/yr MSRP 41,630 Selling Price 38,905 MF .00061 RV 52% Payment $610/m including sales tax Our payment will be $576 since they are giving us an extra $1,000 over our payoff on our old lease. Seems used Pilots are still in demand.
Haven't taken the deal yet, but probably will since we will be over 10K miles and have to replace tires if we wait until the end of the lease next May.
Just saw my old message... I did NOT end up with the Bali Blue, but they were able to find the Formal Black for me. I do not regret getting it -- it's a nice-looking vehicle in that color.
However, I do not think I will go with that color again. With 3 kids, all their sports & activities, including horse shows, it's not a practical choice. Obviously it shows a lot of dirt, but I wasn't prepared for how much each little scratch, nick, or ding stands out, too.
Although I'd love to get the Bali Blue this time, the dealer is telling me yet again how difficult it is to find in the Touring model. I'm thinking of going with the Polished Metal Metallic -- the color and metallic finish should hide more of the dirt & scratches. But it looks like it's just dark enough that when it IS clean (and freshly waxed and/or compounded), it will look amazing.
Seems like 2012 Tourings are hard to find right now, period. I am on to my 4th choice for color, Dark Amber Metallic. I'm trying to avoid black, white, & silver at all costs.
Waiting to hear if they can even find a 2012 Touring, seems they are scarce right now in our area. Might have to sacrifice on color, but at this point I am fine with that.
Here's the info that you're looking for love2driveinct.
