I was considering a lease prior to my purchase. Your numbers look very competitive to lease quotes out here in northern california for the same vehicle. I shopped around to at least 10 dealerships.

When you say " they look very competitive"...do you mean they look like a better deal than you have been seeing in your dealerships or do you mean they are on par with what you are seeing around ?
 
The reason I ask is because, i usually haggle alot to aggressively get to where I want to be with monthly payments when I lease but this time around I didnt have the energy to go thru the weeks of haggling, debating, shopping it around so I just basically told the rep, this is what I can pay and if you cant do it, then its not in my budget to get a 2nd car....so im wondering if that actually worked out for me better than the weeks of haggling in the past

your total payment of 15732 is within +/-$200 of quotes I was receiving, which is basically the depreciation estimation. Based on my research, this was a good lease price.
 
I am not sure if you did or not, but it is helpful to go to consumer reports and pay $15 for all the dealer costs (invoice, holdback, incentives, etc..) for the vehicle you are interested in buying. This gives you a baseline to negotiate with the saleperson. It also gives you piece of mind that you did not overpay.

I took my 1st trip to a dealership yesterday, just to see one. I have to admit, it is a beautiful machine. (referring to the EXL 4wd with res). It looks huge but then I've never owned a truck so some may disagree with that statement. I didn't test drive because I knew I wasn't buying and didn't want to cost a salesman another potential sale. But I had to laugh watching him say with a straight face how none of this credit stuff going on is affecting sales, especially pilots. I asked about potential cash back or some recycling program for Dec. but he knew of none.

2009 Honda Pilot EXL AWD by bossoxfan

Leasing a 2009 Pilot EXL AWD for $350/month (including 5% tax) for 36 months with a total of $2,750 at signing (including TTL, 1st, destination and $1405 down). 51% Residual ($18,250) on $35,850 MSRP.
 
My math is probably fuzzy, but I figure I'm paying $333X36+$1,405+$18,250=$31,643 for the car (if I decide to buy it) (and that includes 36 months of financing on the lease term).
 
I leveraged Boch and Herb Chambers.

Not sure about the numbers you are paying but if you are considering 2.9% per year your payment will equate $12509.16 + 1405 + 18250 = $ 32164.16 which is a little more than what you have. This is due to the interest. I am using 2.9% to give you an idea how much you will accumulate at the end of the 36 months if you were to deposit these payments in an account to collect that interest. I would say they are discounting the price of the car to about 32K. (BTW 32K is about 1k below the base MSRP).

Ex-L 09 Lease - Bank, Doc and other fees to negotiate by dannyhashovav
Nov 17, 2008 (12:23 pm)

Dear all,
as i started my quest (not Nissan Quest ) for a good lease on EXL, I was quoted a "seemingly good deal" with some various fees ( bank,documentation etc) that were outright ridiculously high which triggered me to ask you these questions:
 
1. does $600 Bank fees and $299 Doc fees make any sense to you?
2. can one hustle and negotiate these fees down?
3: what are the standard fees that we can expect to pay without being fooled?
 
In this economy banks would love getting a high tier customer to leas him a car (Example: huge lines of home equity loans to qualifying customers from Citi and other lenders has no closing fees whatsoever). So unless its a dealers thing, i cant seem to accept that a Honda would require such huge fees to finance a loan of 17K.
Any input?
