Perhaps that's due to the new economic realities? It might be.... Why would Honda want the car back now? Why not keep making money on it?

Replying to: alejandrom (Nov 26, 2008 12:17 am) In times past, I wondered about the financial wisdom of that, but as noted above, the drop in used car prices makes it a no-brainer for them now.

Replying to: kyfdx (Nov 26, 2008 4:29 am) All you are doing is postponing the inevitiable. if the car isn't worth the residual today, it won't be worth the residual 2 yrs from now.

Replying to: volvomax (Nov 26, 2008 4:03 pm) I wonder if they adjust the residual/buy-out if you extend? I don't see these being beneficial to the consumer, but certainly the fiance company depending on how they do the math IF there is a residual adjustment. If you're extending a lease, it's most likely post-36 months and the depreciation will be less than the first 36 months. But you're still paying the same payment on the higher depreciation.

Replying to: sebring95 (Nov 27, 2008 6:43 am) So, if the original lease had a $300 payment with $240 of depreciation each month, the extension will have the same $240/mo. of depreciation. On a two-year extension, the vehicle's residual would then be $5760 lower than the original residual. It's a good deal for the bank in this environment. They continue to earn the same finance charge each month in the meantime, on a lower CAP. Considering the way some lease payments have skyrocketed on some makes,recently, it may be a decent deal for the lessee, assuming they negotiated a good lease payment, originally. regards, kyfdx visiting host |

Greetings all, Just wondering which one of the "third" parties to swap or transfer the lease you would recommend? I am basing my choice on prior success, fees, ease, etc. Thanks for any input.....
