Hi rocsteve. If I was in the market for a 2012 Civic right now, I personally would shoot for a selling price of a couple hundred dollars over the dealer invoice price that is listed in the New Vehicle Pricing section of Edmunds.com minus the $1,000 dealer cash that Honda is currently providing on this model.

#1334 of 1446 '12 Civic EX Lease in Chicago by mike_s5

Nov 14, 2012 (11:27 am)

Hi all...
 
I am looking to lease a '12 Civic EX or EX-L in Chicago. I noticed on the Honda website they are offering 0.9% on a 36 mo. lease. What should my monthly payment be with no money down on a good deal? What is the money factor, etc? Is it better to call a bunch of dealerships or use the Honda website for a quote, and what questions/info do I need so I don't get ripped off?
 
Thanks!

Got the following
 
199.62 before tax including title, license, acquisition fee on 12 Civic EX with 12K miles and 60% residual
 
And a $50 cash back certificate from Edmunds just for doing research on the site.
 
Use USAA buying service to start if you can, or Truecar if no USAA. The dealers call you and you just need to negotiate down on the car price from the price they quote.
 
And don't let the dealers screw with the other variables.. (money factor, residual, etc...)
 
Best advice, model what you think is a fair monthly rate after tax in Excel and just be prepared to call BS on the lease rate even though all dealers will say it is not up to them to change the money factor or residual..
Because , as I found out, even with a set price from USAA or Truecar, they still want to deal.

#1337 of 1446 24 month lease? by koctailz

It seems like all the lease deals here are for 36 months. I am interested in a 24 month lease of a Civic, does Honda Finance only do 36 month leases or are there other options for lease duration?

ill reply to my own question. i inquired with a local dealer regarding 24 month lease on 12 Civic LX. He offered: $225/mo and $1999 due at lease signing. A laughable deal imo.

Hi. I am in the market for 2012 civic hybrid, but on a 24 month lease. do you know the current residuals and money factors? I reverse calculated the 36 month MF to be .0016 based on their current deal, but I've seen other people mention .00077. I also dont know the relationship between 36 and 24 month residuals. I would appreciate any help.

Hi koctailz. What you've found is not surprising. Most banks do offer 2 year leases of vehicles, however...short leases are usually much more expensive. The reason for this is that lease payments are composed of two main pieces, vehicles' depreciation and the interest that is being charged. New vehicles experience their most rapid depreciation over the first year of ownership. Longer leases are able to spread out this large depreciation hit out over a larger number of monthly payments than short leases are. If you really want to lease, you really should go with a 36-month term on this model.
