You're very welcome, ghetto2315. I haven't seen the new Nissan info for June yet. I'll make some calls and see what I can find out for you today. Post a quick reminder for me in the Z Lease Questions discussion and I'll let you know what I find out.

Hi Ashley. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
 
In short, the best way to get a good deal on a leased vehicle is to negotiate as low a selling price as possible and then have the dealer calculate your monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor. On a 2009 Civic Sedan EX, I personally would shoot for a selling price of a couple hundred dollars over dealer invoice minus the $1,000 dealer cash that is currently available on it. You cann look up the dealer invoice price over in the New Vehicle Pricing section of this site. This car's buy rate lease money factor is .00225 for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.
 
I see that you are considering rolling $1,300 in negative equity from your current car into your new lease. May I ask why you are doing this? You would be better off waiting until you were less upside down, or not at all, on your current vehicle to get something new.

Hi newyork4me. A Civic GX? Now that's an interesting one. I have to ask why you're interested in one? How does filling it with nat gas work? I believe that there's some sort of station that one can buy or lease from Honda that gets hooked up to the gas line at your home or business. Is that right?
 
As one might suspect, Honda is not currently providing any support on the Civic GX. As a result, if you were to lease one through Honda Finance right now, you would have to use its standard lease program. According to the latest information that I have seen, Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Civic GX with 15,000 miles per year are .00290 and a terrible though not surprising 39%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier. The residual value for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year would be 2% higher.

Thanks very much for the info! I'm actually looking at the GX because there are some pretty good incentives for buying a CNG vehicle (both at federal and state level). ($4,000 federal tax credit, and a couple states are offering 80% of the cost difference [up to $4,000 again] between the CNG and a gas engine version of hte car as rebates. They use the LX as the comparative vehicle, so it is essentially an automatic $4,000 rebate again. Total, they are $8k off.)
 
Yep, you can fill it up with a Phill (the home pump that connect to the nat. gas line) or you can do it at a select few CNG stations. There is one 3 miles from where I live, so it isn't that inconvenient, and I'm pretty sure I'd be the only person I know with a CNG car, so that makes it kinda fun. As a primary car, I doubt it would be too practical unless you live in CA (i live in the midwest), but as a city car it's not too bad.

Car_man, there is no 370Z section for Lease Questions... only for the 350. Back on topic with the Civic Lease Questions. Did the Residuals and MF stay the same or change for June?

Have the lease deal for the Hybrid(w Leather and Navi) changed for June and is the cash back still available? I assume that when I calculate the payment I apply the residual relative to MSRP - correct?

You're very welcome. Thanks for the explanation. You definitely would be the only person that I have heard of who has purchased a nat gas powered vehicle. It's definitely cool and a great conversation starter. Just don't take it on any long road trips .

Hey ghetto2315. Ask and you shall receive. We just added a new discussion for the 370. Here's a link:
 
"Nissan 370Z Lease Questions"
 
Honda's lease program for the 2009 Civic is exactly the same in June as it was in May.

Hi danny14. Honda's lease program for the 2009 Civic Hybrid is exactly the same in June as it was in May. Honda Finance's "Super Preferred" tier buy rate lease money factor for this car is .00156 and Honda is providing $2,000 dealer cash on it.
 
Yes, the residual value percentage is applied to the full MSRP of the vehicle that you are interested in, including the destination charge and the MSRPs of any options that can be residualized.

Hi Car_man
 
Could you post the current (through end of June) MF and residual numbers for the gas powered Civic LX, EX an EX-L (if different), and the numbers for the new Honda Insight? There is no lease/purchase forum for the Insight yet. I want to run the numbers and compare all 3 options.
 
Thank you!
