Just the opposite during the "President's Day" low financing where you could go to a dealership in a low rate state and buy using 2.9% money even if you reside in a state not included in the cheap money.

Replying to: cjkbme2w (Mar 09, 2008 11:48 pm) The deal I got was the Honda incentive ending 03MAR08 - published at $259 plus tax per month plus 1,999 due at signing. The $1400 down includes everything - acquisition fee, dealer's fee and registration. It really depends on the dealer - if they want to sell another car or not. Got quotes from 4 and I picked the nicest guy. They can give you a great deal especially towards month end where another sale may make a difference to their layered incentives. The lease special has a 1K incentive to the dealer - I think. The deal was made in Fort Lauderdale FL where I live. If you need more info, let me know. Carabel |

Good move: negotiate a low selling price - at least $1k under invoice for the Pilot, destination, and any dealer fees. Try to do all you negotiation online with the "Internet sales rep". Then plug the numbers into a lease calc and see how the payment comes out. Dennis

My 2005 Accord Coupe EX-V6 w/Navi lease (24k miles on vehicle and have 36k miles allowed) ends in July 2008 and I'm looking at different SUV's as a replacment (Acura MDX/RSX, Chevy Tahoe/Trailblazer, Infiniti FX35). I kind of like the new 2009 Honda Pilot (although contrary to many people's opinion) and have heard that the release date could be April 2008 all the way until Fall 2008. Since the Pilot is going to be redesigned and Honda will be pushing it heavily, I'm wondering if I'll be able to negotiate on MSRP or if I will be stuck with the sticker price. I've heard the top of the line price will be around $38k (EX/AWD/Navi) and I'm wondering that due to the timing of my lease ending and the launch date of the new Pilot if I'd be better off working with a different manufacturer or if I would have some negotiating room since I'm coming off a lease with Honda. Not interested in the 2008 Pilot at all. Leasing is optimal for me as mileage is usually very low per my driving requirements. Also, I was wondering if its good to work with other manufacturers 2 months out from my lease end as they know I'll need a new car and I'm dropping my leased car off at a Honda dealer. Is there any negotiation room with this and will they often times buy the lease out in regards to acquiring a customer? Being so close to my lease end, is it better to ride out the rest of my lease or is it better to swap it in a deal for another lease? Thanks!

Replying to: dcomber (Mar 10, 2008 10:56 am) If your buy out price is too high, then you might be better off to just sell it yourself now or wait and turn it in - but I would think a low mile V-6 might be worth more than buyout. If you trade you car in rather than turn it in, then there is no end of lease inspection and no (possible) pay outs for stuff like excessive wear or tires or dings. Dennis |

Replying to: dcomber (Mar 10, 2008 10:56 am) If the re-do on the Civic (06) and Accord (08) are an indicator there will not be cheap lease deals and dealer incentives and possibly too many dealers willing to deal low when the new design arrives. As the "gotta be the first" folks get theirs and sales slow things will get better - and probably a good bit faster than they did for the new Accord and Civic. If you live where you can get a cheap lease on the 08 now, coupled with the incentive money and motivated dealers you could save a ton of money of what a new 09 Pilot would cost you in a lease. If you live where there is no cheap lease money, so could still do OK now with a 3rd party lease and taking the $3,500 non-AHFC lease incentive compared to what you probably do when the new model comes out.
