Hmmmmm, sorry for the confusion dolsey01. Honda Finance's current residual value for a 39 month lease of a base 2009 Acura TSX with 12,000 miles per year is 63%.

In my experience when trading leased cars, I have never had to purchase my "leased" cars from the bank. I just trade them in.
 
They looked at my pay off amount, then looked at my trade in value, and the difference would be what I would have to absorb. Fortunately I have had Honda's so the value kept quite well. I was never told to go purchase my leased car. That actually might put you out more money then if you just traded it. There by incurring interest and fees. Not to mention the more time spent doing all of this. I know that this would cause some conflicts with me. I certainly don't have that time. I do understand this would be another option, but feel this one would be more expensive on top of an already potentially expensive move on trading.
 
I usually wait about 2yrs into the lease, and it seems to be a good time with values to do a trade. It really is all about timing, this is coming from experience I have had with my leases. I current lease a car, I have had it 1yr this spring. Plan to trade mid summer or Spring, or atleast see where I stand. Of course, if it is too expensive to do it, then I will wait.
 
Don't mean to override anyone's advice, because it is certainly true. This is just my take and experience.

I concur, I would also like to add that if you keep your car in excellent condition and have put far less miles than you are contracted on your lease, then there is a chance you will even get some equity out of your lease. I have traded in my leased vehicles twice with no more than $1000 in negative equity (one was over mileage and the other had been in an accident). You can easily offset that by leasing another car that is currently offering cash rebates or just negotiate a low sale price. For those who are under your allowed mileage, you may want to consider taking the car in for a trade-in appraisal, you just might get some money out of your ride.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on trading in lease vehicles guys. The values of used vehicles have absolutely imploded over the past year. I personally would be shocked if anyone was able to get out of a lease significantly before its expiration date and actually make a profit at this point, but your mileage may vary.

Hi dtorz21. I don't believe that Acura is currently offering any cash incentives to recent college graduates on its products, but you should check with a dealer to make sure that this is indeed the case. Its graduate program likely just consists of extending Honda Finance's best lease and finance rates to recent graduates who do not have much of a credit history. Please let us know if you find out anything different.

I traded my car back when the market was in a better state. Doing so now, well, that would be a tricky situation. Even your higher valued cars are going to not score as well for a trade. I plan to keep my current lease about 1-2yrs in. Then, I will see where I stand. I would never make a move that would put me a worse state, that would not be smart, and definitely not worth it. Even to get a new TSX. Well, maybe..lol

Hey Car_man,
 
Do you know the numbers for FEb yet?
Also, realistically, what the lowest I can go on tech TSX?
Thanx

One month early- Does It pay? by spedprof
Feb 04, 2009 (11:42 am)

Folks,
 
My TSX lease is up March 31 and I'm likely to get a new one. Is there any advantage to turning the old one in early? I've heard that some dealers offer to "pay" your last month but my tendency is to not believe they will give me anything for free. Any forecast on what next month will bring in terms of offers?
 
Thanks.
