What is the money factor for Honda Accord LX 1.5T with FICO score 741 and TU score 760

Hello,

I would like to lease a Honda Accord LX 1.5T (lease term 36 months and 12000 miles/year). The dealer sent me a link to submit a credit report pulling request. I do not want a hard pull before I really decide to sign a deal. To avoid being hard pulled, I just got my credit scores from each bureau myself. I would like to get a money factor for my case and get a quote from the dealer based on the money factor. I am not sure if my logic is problematic.

Can anyone help?

    I got one APR offer (1.9% = 0.00079MF) from Honda.com. I am not sure if I qualify for this.

    Anything over 660 gets you the best rate, assuming you are otherwise qualified.
    If you pay all of your bills on time, you won't have to worry about credit checks materially affecting your credit score. Your credit score can vary daily, just based on your credit card balance.

    Live within your means and pay your bills on time. It's simple.

    But, your money factor may vary, due to your region. What is your location?

    Offered APRs are not equivalent to money factors.

    Hello kyfdx,

    Thanks for your advice. My location is 61801.

    I am still confused of "Offered APRs are not equivalent to money factors." As far as I know, APR / 2400 = Money factor?

    Manufacturers rarely offer the same rate for purchase vs. lease.

    .00056 MF and 56% residual
    $750 Honda-to-dealer incentive

    One more question... Who and how can I ask for the incentive, Honda or dealer?
