By the way, the price offered above DOES NOT apparently include an Acquistion fee of $595...

paulo,
 
The deal sounds pretty good compared to what I have seen. It would be very good, if you could get the same payment on the 4WD version (with no down payment, but including tax). Let us know how the final deal works out and the dealership name.
 
When you said that the price does not include an acquisition fee, do you mean that the lender (lessor) waived it?

No...did not waive it, It is included in the $458 payment. Cuz my calcualtions on the above mentioned selling price was $435 payment and not $458, so when I called to inquire, he explained to me the Acquisition fee...(the dealer is Fischer Honda, in Ypislanti, MI)
 
Now I just received a call from Howard Cooper Honda in Ann Arbor, MI, who historically have been very high and arrogant, and the offer just got even better:
 
2WD selling Price: $29395
Same MF and Residuals quoted by Fischer for a total payment of only $433.54 (OTD, incl, tax) with same out of pocket ($672)
 
Now for 4WD I can have the same payment ($433.54) but my total out of pocket goes up only by $150 or so to $827.. I am definitely leaning towards that now
 
I am now waiting for Fischer to see if he can match/beat that deal (they offer free oil change, while Howard Cooper does not)...
 
UPDATE:
 
Fischer matched the deal with a measly $77 discount on out of pocket, so what it looks like I will be getting:
 
4WD EX-L (12/36)
$433.54/month includes tax and all
$750 total due at signing
Free Oil changes...
 
I think I should be pretty happy with the above
 
Any other insights will be appreciated...

Hi sjtash. The best way for consumers who do not qualify for manufacturers' supplier or employee purchase programs to get a good deal on a lease is to shop around for the lowest possible selling price on the car or truck that they want and then have the dealer calculate their payment using its buy rate lease money factor.
 
Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor for the 2009 Pilot is .00147, which is equivalent to an interest rate of around 3.5%.

Hey sjtash. Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor for the 2009 Pilot is .00147 for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier and pay a security deposit at lease signing. This factor is equivalent to an interest rate of around 3.5%. If you are going to lease an '09 Pilot, make sure that the dealer uses this money factor to calculate your payment.

Carman,
 
The quote I received above with a $433 payment has a 0.0011 MF or I think that translates to 2.64%. This is what the two competing dealers quoted me here in Michigan. Much better than 0.00147...

You're absolutely correct, paulo6. I just found out today that Honda made an unscheduled enhancement to its lease program for the Accord, Civic, Odyssey, and Pilot a few days ago. Honda Finance's current buy rate for the '09 Pilot is indeed now .00110 for consumers who qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier.
 
In addition to this new, improved money factor Honda added $1,250 dealer cash on leases of the '09 Pilot. Make sure to take this into account during your negotiations.

Car_man,
 
Great news about the reduced MF and dealer cash for leases. I am still undecided between leasing and purchasing. I realize this is the lease board, but the purchase board did not have any updates.
 
Did Honda start offering any dealer cash for the 2009 Pilot with these newly improved incentives? Any change in the interest rate for purcahae?
 
Thanks

Can you tell me when the dealer cash and the lowered MF rate go until?
 
Also, can someone help me out. My current lease expires 11/25/08 and I will be leasing a new 2009 Honda Pilot EX-L with RES. Should I go ahead and do it now as you've stated that there is some dealer cash available and a lowered MF rate or should I wait and see if Honda has a Thanksgiving sale?
 
I see a lot of emails talking about money factor, price, residual, etc. Since I know exactly what car I want, does any of these items matter? Why don't I simply ask each Honda dealer what their lowest monthly payment is and their out the door price? Even if I go to 5 different Honda dealers, isn't the only thing that matters the out the door price and the monthly lease fee? Forgive my ignorance but why should I find out what all of these different items are? And please let me know the best process to get the lowest price? When I email several dealers, what should my question look like? I live in New Jersey and can lease a vehicle from Pennsylvania or New Jersey. Thanks

Honda Pilot EX 2009 Lease by slt3

I have a 2006 EX Pilot with the lease ending 2/4. We went in just to look and they are offering us the 2009 EX 4WD Pilot for $428 a month with 15K, 36 months, and $1496 at signing. Is this a reasonable deal? We have 3 payments left on our current lease- where do they "hide" that money? They say they eat the cost, but isn't it figured in somewhere? They said they are figuring the 2009 cost at $28,000 and the MSRP on the sticker is $32,665. We are in MA.
 
Should we wait till closer to our lease end?
 
What do you think we would be able to get a 2009 EX-L lease with 15K for 36 months at?
 
Thank you.
