Hi. I'm still in the market for a EX-L but can easily wait for September unless we get a good deal. I had to work tomorrow regular office hours. What dealer and time you're looking for? I'm ready to buy but not in a rush.

I'd try Gillman since they have 100 EXL (bet they want to get rid off) and we can talk to GM directly. I'd target 26500+TTL for group of two, may be 26200 for three if you want to join. Does that sound reasonable?

anyone interested in forming a group?...25,600 to 25,800 + doc fee should easily get it done for a cash buyer...a group can probably get it a bit lower...business is way off at these places and i have to think they want to unload these cars prior to mid-Sept...

I've just checked their website and didn't find the 0% you saw on TV. But a interesting observation: their 08 EXL counts incresed from 45 a week ago to 100. What does that tell us?
 
BTW, how was your Sterling MaCall adventure?

EX-L R/N - Need some help by rogerhol

I just spent 3 hours at the Honda dealer trying to lease a EX-L R/N. I had reached out to about 4 other dealerships by phone and this one was the one that had the best starting offer which was 31K.
 
They tried to increase the price by about $800 for a number of accessories they had on the car (Wheel locks, edge guards, tray liner, all season floor mats, and something else that was useless). I asked them to also add the cross bars. Eventually they agreed to include all of this for 31K but I certainly didn't feel like this was a good deal but they were pretty firm on this was as low as they would go.
 
Then came the Lease discussion. The first offer was for payments of $590 before tax and before tax only fees upfront. After digging through the deatils and many iterations I finally got them down to $449/mo before tax with $2K upfront ($800 fees and $1200 cap cost reduction). Based on what I've read here I'm not comfortable this is a good deal. Here's the details as I understand them.
 
MSRP - 36,480
Cap Cost after upfront payment - 29,900
Residual Value - .50
Term - 36 months
MF - .00265
 
My reasoning for not being comforable with this: First, I qualified for 7.25% through Costco on a loan so I know I should be able to get a decent rate. 5 years ago I leased an Xterra and had a .00158 MF and my credit qualifications were much worse so I think I should be able to get a better money factor. Second, I've read repeatedly of people getting .52 to .55 residual value so I think I'm getting short changed there. Third, I also have been hearing of people getting prices of close to 29K so feel like I'm overpaying.
 
So two questions I'm hoping to get help with. How should I feel about this deal? Am I getting a decent deal or would I be over paying? Second, Can anyone provide some pieces I can use to try to argue this down further. Some tangible things I can refer to as reasons I should get a better deal rather that I just have heard of people getting a better deal.
 
I'm already thinking of asking them to remove all accessories and buying them after market. I can find them cheaper online anyway. But that will only reduce my payments a little and doesn't change the overall value of the deal.
 
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
