Replying to: jetfan (May 11, 2008 10:55 am) However, if we look at the deal on Honda's page for those states for a 4WD VP: they show a net cap cost of $23,181.56 on the lease with a $1,645.00 cap cost reduction. Add those two together to get the selling price = $24,826.56 . Invoice include destination is shown as $26,975. So if your dealer is correct and they only get $1k in dealer money on a "cheap" lease then they are pricing the car at $25,826.56 or $1,148.44 under invoice. No way, I say. At least on this model they must still be getting the $2,500 dealer incentive. If you add $2,500 to the selling price you get $27,326.56 which is $351.56 in dealer profit (plus 100% of hold back). So at least on the VP in those states the dealer MUST be (by logic) getting the same $2,500 incentive they get for sales. No way to tell about the other Pilot models since there is no publish lease deal on them - other than to ask a few dealers and see what they say. Compared to the 1% or 0.3% leases earlier this year, the current deals are not all that great anyway. Better than 3rd party leases, but not all that great. In fact, if the dealer is correct and he only gets $1k on the lease then you may be better off to take the $3,500 off and do a 3rd party lease. You would have to run the numbers to see how it works out to be sure. Dennis

Replying to: tudiu (Mar 19, 2008 5:17 pm) Sale Price, Residual Value, Money Factor. Find out what those are and you will be able to cut a decent deal. Lease payments are determined by those 3 numbers. Never negotiate monthly payments and down payments like you do when you when you purchase. If you don't understand leasing before you negotiate, you will probably get taken advantage of. Negotiate the lowest price possible on the vehicle. Compare the Residual value you are quoted with the ones you see here in the forum (they typically can't change this number since its set by the bank, but its good to double check). Next, ask for the money factor being used to calculate your finance charge, if they don't want to disclose it, move on to another dealer that will. Use this forum to compare the rates to see if they padded it or not. Some states have different money factors. Find out what their fees are and ask them to explain them. Make sure they aren't double dipping. If you ask the right questions, you should be in good shape. |

Replying to: Car_man (May 09, 2008 2:33 am) Sales/use tax  7% supplemental Title fee No security deposit Registration fees Doc fees Tired tax fees equal about 2K. Quote is $395 a month with $1500 to drive off lot. Sound right? Any wiggle room on the selling price? Thanks.

Replying to: jetfan (May 13, 2008 10:00 pm) check it out at bochhonda.com > promotion > weekly or monthly, then check inventory for availability. I think you are at NJ so it is not too far to save a few thousands. You can chat live with sales and the conversation is in computer record. Plus you can request the sales email you confirmation of all the figure (out-of-door) before you start travel. |
