Property Tax by oliver15

I returned my leased Honda Odyssey in June 2007, and bought a new Odyssey.
Since I terminated the lease and did not have the leased vehicle on July 1, 2007, I do not owe property tax on the vehicle (WV tax code) this year.
 
Honda Finance sends a list of leased vehicles to the State. which then sends them tax bills for each vehicle. My vehicle was reported as still being leased onJuly 1, 2007, so Honda got a tax bill and paid it. Now they are trying to make me pay the bill. I have proven I did not have the vehicle, but they keep on trying.
 
Any advice?

Go to your local county clerk (or whoever handles property tax), and ask them to refund the tax to Honda Finance, as you were no longer leasing the car as of July 1st. Be prepared with documentation. If they agree, ask for copies of their documentation, so you can prove to Honda Finance that their charges have been refunded by the state.
 
It really is your responsibility to get it done. When you lease, there are multiple paragraphs where you agree to cover any charges to Honda Finance for your car, just as if you owned it.
 
Good luck!

Some Negotiating Advice Please by bcroghan

In February, my Toyota Tundra Lease Expires. It is a four door, V-8 with leather. I'll have 36,000 miles on it, around 3,000 less than allowance. Its condition is good to excellent.
 
I have really enjoyed this truck, and I would keep it for the right deal. The payoff price is thousands higher than the used prices listed in Edmonds, suggesting I turn it in and buy a used one. Sounds strange.
 
Does Toyota deal? Do they extend leases? Do they provide special financing for the purchase? The leasing rep says I have to talk to the dealer. I will, but I'd love to have some suggestions first. Thank you.

They wouldn't deal with me last January on my Tundra. The market wasn't nearly as bad then but the buy-out was still favorable to them. I've heard they're insured against their lease residuals so they don't negotiate. The dealer said they could try to buy it back from the auction for me, but no guarantees. I knew mine was a good truck, well cared for and exactly the way I would want a used one.....so I just paid the slight premium. I dunno about paying a several thousand dollar premium....though.

Wear and tear from accident? by j_kotrba
Nov 22, 2008 (8:40 pm)

Me and my wife have a leased 06 Subaru Legacy in which she was recently involved in an accident. The other party involved was at fault and I have been working with his insurance company for repairs.
 
The insurance company has specified that they will be using non OEM as well as "recycled" parts. We were planning on returning the vehicle at the end of the lease term in March 2010.
 
 I am concerned that we may have additional wear and tear charges billed to us when we do this (The lease agreement seems rather vague as to their wear and tear definitions). Has anyone else had to deal with a similar situation?

The lease co can come after you if the car is not returned to its pre-accident condition.
Now, this is a little vague in and of itself.
The source of the parts really isn't an issue, unless to fit/finish of the parts is obviuosly substandard. If the acutal repair work is sloppy, then you can be liable for charges.
Personally, I'd get your ins co involved, or maybe a lawyer and try to make sure that the proper parts and techniques are used to return the car to the proper condition.

Honda Lease Extension: by alejandrom
Nov 25, 2008 (1:34 pm)

I just called Honda back because my lease was due up in January and decided to extend it month to month for up to 24 months.
 
I work in the car business and I wasn't aware that you could extend the lease for up to 24 months.
 
1100 miles a month and the monthly payment is the same: $258.
 
I'm going to stick with this for awhile so I don't have to be bothered about buying a new car.

Actually, that kind of term IS unusual.

Perhaps that's due to the new economic realities?
