I get your point about possibly giving up equity in the car (no matter who it belongs to), but you should probably check current pricing before making that assumption.
 
It's possible that your car isn't worth the residual, even with the low miles.

thanks for the tip kyfdx,
 
I did a quick KBB lookup and got a trade in price of about 14,000 and a private party price of about 16,000 (assuming good condition, 4 out of 5 stars)
 
so I guess I'm not really forced into buying it, but I have no complaints about the car and I did buy the extended warranty (although I coudl transfer that if I decided to sell it)
 
decisions decisions....problem is I wouldn't lease a new accord (my brother has an 08 exactly like mine, I don't like how big they have gotten, although the car is nicer)

I know what you mean... the Accord sort of out-grew us, rather than the other way around, as well..
 
The good thing? If you want smaller, you can move down in class. Get a car that is virtually as big as your old Accord, and save money.. (I like the Mazda3).

What matters is what the residual value at the end of your lease term. That is what you have to pay Honda if you want to buy the car at the end, there is no negotiation to that price.
 
Be very leery of KBB values at this time. With new car sales so slow, dealers are dropping prices like never before, which in turn drops used car values. This summer I looked at trading in my wife's 06 IS250 for an 08. KBB showed a trade in value of about 22K. No dealer would give me more then 20K.
 
People on these forums are buying brand new Accords for 19k or less so that is going to depress the market of used Accords.

well, the problem is I won't be able to find a new accord with the features I want (I had to order mine, my brother just got an 08 and he had to order his as well)
 
I paid about 24,500 for my accord, a new one just like it would be about 28,000 or so. don't think thats going ot be an option

Well, I have decided the TSX is a better lease option for me, the Accord is a bit steep for its price, when I can get nice base model TSX with more options, for literally not much gap between the Accord. $370 for a 4cyl Accord no navi? For a little more, I can get a TSX.

I have a similar delima, but based on the past 6 years of owning Acura's and using both Honda and Acura dealerships, (several in my area) Acura customer service and overall treatment from start to finish is better. Loaner vehicles are never a problem and your TSX has 12k miles and 1yr longer on the warranty.

Money Factor and Residual Value Question by cruiser8_8
Nov 06, 2008 (1:52 pm)

Could someone tell me what's the current money factor and residual value for a 2009 EX-L with Navi (4-cylinder). I am looking for the lease buy rate for 12k/yr and 15k/yr on a 36 months lease. The dealer is quoting me a 57% residual on a 36 months and another quoted me 57% on the same 36 months (I am suspicious now). Which is the correct current residual value...?
 
Thanks in advance...

Could someone (Maybe a Host) tell me what's the current money factor and residual value for a 2009 EX-L with Navi (4-cylinder). I am also looking for the lease buy rate for 12k/yr and 15k/yr on a 36 months lease. The dealer is quoting me a 57% residual on a 36 months (12 k/yr) and another quoted me 59% (12k/yr) on the same 36 months (I am suspicious now). Which is the correct current residual value... and M.F. curent in place?
  
Thanks in advance...
