Curious if I got a good price or not by AHFCGuy

So I recently leased a 2009 EX-L 4 Cyl Coupe in Sanford, FL for 3 years, 15k miles a year for $375.00 a month with $500 down and positive equity from a trade.
 
In looking at my paperwork and reading the posts, I'm trying to determine if my deal was as great or as back breaking of a deal as my salesman and sales manager made me feel I was getting.
 
I had a 2006 4 door, EX that I owed 10958.82 and the gave me 11,900 for it (which i think I should have got mroe for) and I ended up having $941.18 towards this lease, plus I put 500 cash down to lower the payment on this lease.
 
The adjusted capitalized cost of the car was 25,378.69 with a residual of 15,404.25. My lease was for 3 years, 15k a year for a base payment of 352.11 plus 22.89 in taxes for a total of $375/mo. I paid $500 cash plus the $941. from my trade that they applied into the deal. Orignally quotes they were giving me were 467/Mo for 3 years 12 mi year and I felt that getting them down to 375/mo for 36 mo with 15k miles year was a great deal considering where they started at with $467/mo.
 
I was in the Super prefferred tier and Im not sure what my money factor was. The paperwork aslo shows that 2177.95 was due at signing, but like I said, i did not pay this amount only the 500 cash down. Where it itemizes how this was to be paid they have listed my 941.18 from my trade and then 1236.77 in cash, which I DId not pay.
 
Please explain or help me feel good about my deal!
 
Thanks!

2006 accord lease ending and I don't know what to do by reechz

My story:
My lease for my Accord LXSE 2006 comes due in January 2009.
My residual is $13,325. The car has 26M miles on it
Is it true that Honda will not negotiate the price down (even in this market?) I was hoping that they would rather not have a used car to sell and work with me on a deal.
 
And if they won't work down the price...
If I want to buy the car, would Honda offer me a decent apr to finance? Or should I not even bother trying?
If I buy the car outright, would I get more than the $13,325 as a trade in for another car?
Would a Honda dealer make a deal applying the value of the car for a new one without me buying the car?
 
thanks for any advice you can offer.

Hello!
 
Negotiating the price of the car at lease end is not an option, it is already set in the contract.
 
The loan APR will be determined in your new loan, going through American Honda Finance will increase your chance of getting a better rate, since you would be a returning customer.
 
If you buy the car, then trade it later, you could get more than the trade amount offered now, but not likely. That seems like a fair price for a trade. But, just to let you know, that you may trade your car in now anywhere you want. Meaning, you do not have to buy the car and then trade it. You can trade it for any car. They simply look at your pay off amount versus your trade in, as long as you owe less than your trade amount, you can successfully trade at equal or with some trade equity.
 
Yes, if you want a new Honda, they will use your car as a trade, and use any equity for that on your new lease. Take a look at your pay off and see how close you are to your trade in value amount, that will give you an idea of what numbers you would be look at when trading. You should be decent since your trade is a Honda. I see no problems. Just do not expect tons of equity to roll into a new deal, its a Honda, that will help, but be glad, because if you had any other car like a GM product, you would be far off. I see you breaking even on the deal.
 
Good Luck! I Hope your staying with Honda!

Similar situation. Drove the TSX not the Accord, and found the TSX suspension somewhat stiff. Not sure on the Accord I am waiting till the end of Dec to get the best numbers on both. Should be a good time with the winter weather and fact that Honda/Acura sales were down 28%+ in November.

Accord EX-L with NAV by jerseyboy92

Hey, I am intrested in a 24 month lease on an EX-L with navigation and bluetooth, zero down. I went to the dealer today to get some numbers and they offered me 430 a month for 30 months, zero down. This is also my first time with a lease, and my first car. I am leaning more towards a 24 month lease because when i go to college, you aren't allowed a car on campous for at lease 2 years. So could i get a better deal? Any help would be fantastic!

I just received two phone calls and one email from my local Honda dealers in Saint Louis MO and they all told me there is an additional $750 "lease incentive cash" available from Honda...lowering my payment about $20 a month...not sure if this is nation wide or not...just wanted to give everyone a heads up! Good luck, and post your findings here!!!

I received an e-mail from a Ma dealer saying the same thing. They had already offered me 400 below invoice on a v6 ex L and said that this offer would bring the original quote down to $1,150 below invoice.
 
They worded it so that it seemed like the 750 bonus cash was only available this weekend. Did the dealers you spoke with mention how long the offer was good for?

I have it in writing that the $750 additional lease incentive is good through 1/3/09...Sounds like they were trying to get you in a car that day. But then again, we are in two different markets. Good luck with your deal and keep us all posted. I am especially interested, since we are both looking at the same car!
