Hi Car_man,
 
I want to be thorough in my negotiating the lease terms plus I am not rushing as I still have one month to go with my Murano, though the Honda dealership had offered to take it away. So theoretically, if Honda does not change lease program on Pilot, in Jan 2nd the residual value of Pilot 09 will drop a bit, and if MF stays the same at .0011 the lease payments could go down? Correct? Can you approximate the amount of residual decline in the begining of 09 on Pilot? I just want to see if waiting makes sense number wise. Can you also suggest a good and simple lease calculator so I can plug the numbers myself? What about the documentation fees of $450? Doesn't it seem high to you? Can I negotiate it?
 
Thanks much for your time and reply.
I think Edmunds is one of the best places to get enlightened and skilled at purchasing a car.
Thanks.

Actually I think i made a mistake: If residual goes down the monthly payment will increase. Sorry. if you have a chance please respond to my other questions.
 
thanks again

Dont mind me again. I looked it up: Title and registration would run about the same amount they've quoted me.
thanks

09 EX-L Lease Quote - Can I do better? by milzo
Nov 17, 2008 (6:35 pm)

Very thankful I found this forum. With all of your input/ feedback I hope not to leave any money on the table. That said here is where I am at.
 
2009 Pilot EX-L (no res), Cleveland Ohio, 7.75% sales tax.
MSRP = $35800
Invoice = $32500
Sell = $32500 - $1250 (rebate) - $250 (extra discount) = $31,000
Down pmt = $550 (includes all fees)
Pmt = $481 per mo including tax for a 36 mo lease.
 
The salesman is a friend of the family and stated this is the lowest he can possibly go. After reading other posts I am thinking its still $30-$40 a month high.
 
Thoughts?

Invoice price of 2009 Honda Pilot EX-L 4WD with RES + the running boards wi by scottband

I'm going to lease a 2009 Honda Pilot EX-L 4WD with RES + the running boards with lights. When I ask for all of the details such as the cap cost, money factor, dealer cash, residual value, etc. how do I know what the invoice price is? Is there a way to find out the invoice price so I know I'm getting a good deal? I live in the Princeton, NJ area. Are leases going for invoice, above invoice? Thanks, Scott

Hi Milzo,
 
i think your family friend can do better here is a breakdown from my spreadsheet based on your numbers:
 
Step 1: Calculate the Capitalized Cost
Vehicle Selling Price: $31,000
Down-payment $0
Total: $31,000

Step 2: Calculate Vehicle's Residual Value
MSRP: $35,800
Residual: 51%
Total: $18,258

Step 3: Determine Vehicle's Total Depreciation
Residual - Cap Cost: $12,742

Step 4: Determine Vehicle's Monthly Depreciation
Lease Term in Months: 36
Total: $354


Step 5: Determine Interest Charges
Money Factor: 0.00110
Total: 54

Step 6: Calculate Monthly Payment
Total Pre-tax Monthly Payments $408
Sales Tax Rate: 7.75%
Taxes per month: $32
Monthly Payments+Tax: $440
 
Hope that helps

Thank you for this, I think by using your calculation I figured my Car Dealer includes my Liceses and Doc Fees into my lease, but also says it's due at signing.
 
Also, Are fees like (Doc, License, CVR) these figured into the whole Capital Cost of the car?? Or should they be added at the end???
 
Maybe I should just pay those up front, and be sure not to get double charged.
 
Anyone know what a CVR Filing fee is??
 
Thank you!

Thank you very much for taking the time to spell it out. I knew that was about where it should be but didn't know how to do the calculations. Thanks!

Can I do better than this? 2009 Honda Pilot EX-L 4WD w/RES by scottband

Here is what Mike Piazza Honda in PA just offered me and it's better than several other places. Is this a good deal or can I get better, and by how much?
 
3 yr/36,000 miles
$1,000 out the door
$488 per month lease
 
Base invoice = $33,979
Vehic price = $32,529
ACQ Fee = $595
Cash Reduc = $289
Net Cap Cost = $32,834
Resid % (book) = 48%
Resid % (net) = 50%
Resid $ (net) = $18,732
Frt-End Profit = -$1,750 (it appears to be a negative)
Reserve Profit = $200
Total Profit = -$1,550 (it appears to be a negative)
DMV Fees = $186.45
Initial Payment = $1,000
 
Can I do much better than this? An extra $5 here and there aren't going to make a huge difference and not worth the extra time. Thanks
