Don't forget that you will probably have to pay sales tax on the buyout amount if you sell the car privately.
 
If you sell it to a dealer, there is no tax.
At best, you will probably break even at a dealer, dunno if it's worth it.

scratch repair by law228

Hi. My lease is up in November. I have a scratch on my car that is about a foot long. Looks like someone keyed my car or something. Should I get that repaired before I turn it in or will the dealer consider it to be normal wear on my car?

What the dealer thinks is immaterial. The Lease company will certainly hit you for excess wear and tear.

Help getting out of Honda lease by cinweed2
Nov 10, 2009 (11:24 am)

I am in my 30 th month ($353 a month) of a 66 month lease for a Honda PilotEX 2007 2WD, residual value $10,176,Kelley blue blue value is 21,500, the lease is with Huntington,payoff $20,000.The Honda is in very good condition with only 12,500, I paid for $15,000 miles a year.
   This is my first time leasing,I want out.I know I am going upside down. Butcan I go to dealer and they pay off the Honda, BUY a used car and put the remainer that I owe on that loan.(Will banks due that?) And hopefully get a loan between $250/$300.
   The Honda is great, just to big, the payment to high. And I don`t like the feeling of driving something that is not mine.
    Doesn`t it make sense to get rid of it while it looks great and has low mileage?
Any advice will be appreciated. Thank You!

Best bet is to try and find someone to assume the lease. leasetrader.com or swapalease.com is the most popular sites to market the lease. If someone will assume, that will be a far better deal for you. Otherwise, you need to figure out what the real-world trade in value is before going that route. Most banks won't finance 100% or higher on a used car these days so it might be hard to do what you want to do and actually save money. Always expensive to get out of one vehicle and into another.

Honda Finance does not allow lease assumptions.
 
BUT... just reread the post and see if might be with a bank.(??)
In which case, the poster will need to check with that bank to see if they allow assumptions and/or if there are any fees/penalties involved.

Are you saying you've had it for 30 months and it only has 12,500 miles total??
 
First step for you is to head over to the Real-World Trade-In Values thread and find out what the vehicle is worth as a trade-in. That will let you know how far upside down you really are.

Yes, I have had it for 30 months,or 2 1/2 years, and have less than 13,000 miles on it. I dont drive that much, 14 miles to work and back, one short trip and Wal-Mart is less than a mile.
Thanks for the help, I will check out the real world trade in value.

Yikes. Well, as you now know, leasing is NOT for you. You are paying for miles you aren't using.

Acquisition Fee? by nolafilm
Nov 16, 2009 (3:36 pm)
Reply
I negotiated the price of a 2010 honda civic lx within a couple hundred dollars of Edmunds' TMV when shopping for a lease recently. when the paperwork came, i noticed a $595 acquisition fee tacked on. the dealer explained that this was a honda charge - not a dealer charge, and the payments calculated from the original negotiated price wouldn't change (because this acquisition fee had already been factored in, and wasn't something the dealer could change). So I have 2 questions here:
1. If I'm using Edmunds' TMV as a guideline when leasing a car, how should i deal with this fee?
 
2. is this a common, accepted dealer practice for leasing, and/or was I wronged?
