You call the dealer and tell them you want a sign and drive leasu want to pay for is the first month and tag simple as that. For example I saw a local website that was even showing a cap cost rate and a sign and drive rate. Dealers love people who dont know a thing about leasing. They usually take those people over the hurdles.
 
Good Luck

Yes! In order for a dealer or company to make a deal look good and practical is to post a low payment. Always putting the amount due in fine print below. The amount due is typically around $2k.
 
Posting the true payment of the car wouldn't be as attractive. You most definitely do a sign and drive on any car. That is a true lease. They simple roll most fees into the lease, leaving the first payment due or sign and drive. When it is sign and drive, it is simply rolled into the lease. If any dealer asks you to put $2k or $3k down, then they are crazy. The lessee is taking big risk if its totaled and it is NOT going to benefit you in anyway, even if you wanted to buy the car at the end.
 
Putting anything down is unreasonable, it defeats the whole purpose. If you are truly focused on a low payment, perhaps you really cannot afford the car. If you have that kind of money in the bank to dump $2k,$3k in a lease, then you can definitely make the higher payment. Why throw you hard earned money? If you are so focused on the low payment, then perhaps you SHOULD keep the money in the bank, go with a lower cost car. That just seems frivolous and taking a big risk. Do not focus on the payment too much, it is the overall cost of the car. If the car comes out to a sign and drive with a good sale price. And you question the car payment being too high. Then you need to pick another car.
 
$1,000=$20-30 roughly off your payment. Its not too much.
Keep your money in the bank. Now of course you have money to throw away, then you really should opt to get a loan out, not lease. Then your money down does help. If your like me, I trade my cars every 1.5-2yrs. I know, alot, but I do. So could you imagine putting $2k down every time?
 
No offense to anyone here. Just stating my view point of a lease
But then again, were all guilty of biting off more than we can typically chew right?
I don't need a brand new car, but I have one.
 
 Lets all be thankful and appreciative for what we have, and not throw it away.

Thank you for explaining it Rob. Since you are so knowledgeable.....what's your opinion on extending my current lease until the 10's get more of an incentive???
And would you choose with or without TECH???

Honda is a very good leasing company, They will let you go month to month etc. Especially if you are leasing again with them.I never had a single penny charged by them on any lease I had. As far as the tech packages when I first got my 03 TL lease the tech package was hot stuff. NAV was not common. Seems to me that there is a big premium for the tech package. A good bluetooth nav can be bought for a few hundred. Less convenient though. My cell phone does turn by turn nav (palm pre) Iphone does turn by turn (3GS model) I always try to buy end of year models as you usually have a little more wiggle room. Good Luck/

2009 vs 2010 Lease by tbenson81

Hi
 
 I am looking to lease a TSX in the next day or so. I can get a great deal on a 2009 and just wanted to check with the experts here if there are any advantages or improvements at all for the 2010 model. I have done extensive research and cant find a single difference between the 2009 and 2010. Are there any at all ? Exterior seems identical to me and I cant find any other differences. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Same car no difference. Get the best deal you can. In this econimy nobody is knocking down doors for any new cars let alone 2010s. Sometimes when there is a major body redesign or something dealers will try and get the highest price on cars rolling in. That is usually a great time to buy the old body style on a car if you like it. I even remember a few years ago the new accord body style, dealers were charging about $100.00 more per month because they could.

Acura dealers will typically take advantage of any moment, such as a new year, body style, or anything really to boost the prices. Although, when they are not moving as fast, they'll have to do something. Honda and Acura have been known to do this.
 
Now is not the time for a company to mess around with numbers. It won't last long, but will take a while for the newness to wear off.
 
We as customers must be careful to not fall in that trap too. $100 more a month to have it in your drive way? Worth it? Perhaps? but the TSX is nothing new. Don't fall for it. Its not like were being cheap, but we want what is right and fair. Walk out if they can't atleast be fair.
