The lease on my 2007 Accord V6 SE 4dr goes up in January and I'm debating what to do. Residual is 16,894. Car has 18,500 miles, on a 12K per year lease, so I'm well under. What I don't understand is how to determine what the car is actually worth. Do I have any positive equity in the car that I could use as a trade in towards a new car/lease? Or should I just buy it out since I know the miles are relatively low and I know I've driven it easy... This is my first lease, so I'd appreciate any assistance people can give me. |

Replying to: ac21 (Nov 17, 2008 11:39 am) Here are the answers to your specific questions. Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Accord Sedan EX 4-cylinder without leather or navigation with 15,000 miles per year are .00184 and 60%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier and pay a security deposit at lease signing. The residual value for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year is 2% higher. The destination charge is considered to be part of vehicles' prices. All consumers have to pay this fee. I don't know why most price guides don't automatically include it in them. Bank on including it in the price that you will have to pay. Invoice including destination is still a very good price for an '09 Accord. Putting money down on a lease is actually a bad idea. It has no impact upon vehicles' money factors or residual values. In fact, I always advise consumers not to make any sort of capitalized cost reduction when leasing. Those who make one risk losing part or all of it if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though it means that your monthly payment will be a little higher, it is much safer to go with a zero down lease. Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum |

Replying to: dg915 (Nov 18, 2008 7:24 am) The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an '09 Accord EX-L 4-cylinder Sedan without navigation are .00184 and 59%. You need to have a credit score of 710 or higher to qualify for Honda Finance's top credit tier. If your score is lower than this, your money factor will be higher.
