Hi aschmitty. Honda Finance's current buy rate lease and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Civic Sedan LX with 12,000 miles per year are .00250 and 62%, respectively. I haven't seen the residual values for leases of Honda division vehicles through Honda Finance with only 10,000 miles per year. It might now lease Honda models with that few miles. If it does, its 10k residuals are likely 1% higher than its 12k resids.
 
When negotiating the capitalized cost for your lease, make sure to take advantage of the total of $1,000 dealer cash that is currently available on it.

The Civic is a heck of a car for $214 per month including tax with nothing down. You did a good thing by helping your mother out. Thanks for sharing the details. It sounds like the dealer was fairly easy to work with. If you'd like, you can hop on over to the Dealer Ratings & Reviews section of this site and tell others about your experience with them.
 
I hope that your mother enjoys her new ride.

From my post above, my MF on a Civic LX was .00225 and Honda right now is not offering any leases less than 12K.

2009 Civic LX Lease by utlonghornut

I am new to the leasing game and not really sure how I should handle it. I went to the dealership today and discussed leasing or purchasing a new Civic LX. They knocked down the price on the 2009 Civic LX 4D Sedan from $18,255 (MSRP) to $16,500, which seemed like a fair offer to me. We started talking about leasing and he made me the offer of $0 down, $249 per month. Seemed like a good deal to me but I guess it's a manufacturer's deal right now, so maybe I should go lower?
 
Just wanted some advise on how to go about this: should I call around other dealers and try to negotiate a lower price? Is this overpaying or would it still be considered a good deal? Also, I am sure this is pretty obvious, but this is my first new car purchase, so any general advice about how to approach this would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks!

Based on a selling price of 16,500 a "no money down" lease which is really the first months payment plus tags and any dealer fees, your pretax payment would be around $214.
 
They can certainly do better than Honda's advertised lease offer. Go back a few posts are read mine regarding my recent lease. My pre-tax payment was $200
 
Call or email around, get the lowest selling price and then have them calculate the lease payment based on that price. The MF is .00225 and residual for 12K is 62%.
 
Honda Finance's current promotions are good though 5/4.

I had this same tactic applied to me with an internet quote. Very good list price and OTD price with fees, but the lease numbers just don't add up according to my spreadsheet (which can accurately duplicate the numbers from the Honda specials using the .0025 MF and 62% residual of MSRP including delivery). When I asked for details from one, they told me I would have "come in and speak to the sales manger for those numbers," as if they were derived in a magical black box. Be persistent and get all the numbers and do the math yourself (it's not too complicated if you have all of the key variables set constant by the dealer). I have been using this spreadsheet: Link

Civic LX AT Lease by bostonben

Boston Area
 
The most detailed lease offer I have received for a Civic LX AT is $190.84 all in per month with only fees and first month's payment due at signing.
 
Details:
Selling Price: $16,023
Term: 36 months
Mileage: 12,000 miles per year
Money Factor: .00225
Residual: 62 %
Due at signing: $1243.09 (Acquisition $595; Tax on fee, $29.75; Title/Sticker/Plates/Doc Fee, $434; first month, $190.84)
 
The lowest selling price I have recieved is $15,534 and I think I can get that down to $15,300. Based on the that, the monthly payment would go down to $175 tax included. Not bad! Note, this confirms the .00225 (not .0025) MF.

Curious to know if Honda is supporting a 24 month lease on the Civic LX AT. If so, do you know the MF and residual? Thanks.

Hi Carman,
 
I am considering a 36 month 12K mile lease on a Civic EX-L or Hybrid. I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide the current MF and residual. From other posts it looks like it might be .00225 and 62%?
 
Also, can youo confirm if the above MF and residual can be combined with the current $2000 cash on the car?
 
Thanks in advanvce

Hello,
 
I'm new to the leasing game and after just visiting my local Honda dealer in central NJ I came away from the dealership with this offer:
 
My credit is 725
I wanted a no money down lease
 
their proposal
 
0 down 36 months 260 per month
 
Sticker price - 18,725
Selling price - 16,887
price adjustment (to cover 1st payment and fees) 667.00
adjusted selling price - 17,554
assignment fee - $595
up front tax 7% 652
Total cap cost - 18,802
money factor - .00225
 
I thought this price seemed a little high, if anyone could help me out, I would very much appreciate if I could show up at the bargaining table a little more prepared.
 
Thanks!
