Does anyone have any feedback on a lease for a new Honda Pilot EXL-RES-AWD.
Below are the most recent terms from the dealer. They still seam high so I'm curious whether anyone has any insight.
 
$37,465.00 - MSRP
   $32,812.00 - Selling Price
         $900.00 - Down Payment
    $17,983.20 - Residual 48%
            15,000 - miles per year
  
$482.17 + 7.75% tax = $519.54 per month for 36 months

299 Pilot Lease by pilotbound1

I have a 2006 Pilot EX coming up for return in Feb 09. I called a LI dealer who advertised a 2009 EX Pilot $299 a month for 36 months, $0 down Tax, Title, First month payment , Bank fee $295,Destination fee $695. I called and this is the vechicle I am interested in . I see from some posting that the destination fee seem to be a duplication and maybe the dealer uses this for margin dollars?. The dealer says that he has cars for this, should I waste my time and go there , and since I have 3 months left on my lease will they buy that remaining lease to lease the new one . How despirate are dealers today ? or do I wait till January / Febuary? I am expecting that this deal woul have about a total of $2,500 down
Thank you for the input.

Scottband, I live near Princeton and got an '09 Touring 4WD w. RES in late August. I ended up using this site and several others to get internet quotes and that helped the dealers get way more competitive that they were being in-person. I ended up buying from Academy Honda in Old Bridge about a 30 minute drive) because they were much more copetitive. Though ironically after the purchase the Princeton dealership emailed me with a competitive counter quote but they were way too late and they should have just been competitive up-front when I was in for a test drive or when I first got their online quote...
 
Good luck.

Car_man, what is the current Honda money factor and residual value for a 36 month, 12K/year lease with for a 2009 Pilot Touring 2WD withOUT RES?
 
I am helping my friend close a deal and this is what they are looking for. BTW, I got mine (4WD Touring w/ RES) in late August and the residual was 52% at the time. Below 50% early in the model year seems low. Are all the SUV brands residuals going down like this are are their any still offering a strong residual right now?
 
Thanks.

How did you compute 54 in Step 5?

I don't know if this has been discussed recently. But my philosophy has always been to put zero down on a lease. Other than of course, your standard fees, etc.
 
In essence, two things are occurring with a down payment. First, you are making a large prepayment that is not necessary. Why put $2,500 down today, when you can spread that $2500 out over 36 months?
 
Second. Extreme example - but this best illustrates my concern. You take your shiny new leased vehicle, drive off the lot and two weeks later you total the car. The good news is - the lease company is taken car of, since GAP is usually built into either the lease or the insurance, the car dealer is happy, since now they not only have one sale, but possibly two. And you, well - guess what your $2,500 down payment is gone - no insurance recoupment, nothing, zilch.
 
something to consider....anyway, I am back at reading the board, my 05 Pilot is coming off lease and I was disappointed to read consumer reports discussion on it in the November issue. So looking forward for you all to educate me on the 09 Pilot pricing...

Its the Cap Cost ($31,000) plus the Residual ($18,258) times the money factor (0.0011).

Hi, I have been reading through these forums and they are very helpful.
 
I was hoping that someone can take a look at a quote I got for a 2009 Honda Pilot EX-L w/RES.
MSRP $37,465 Risidual 48%
Invoice $33,980 Money Factor .00110 or 2.64%
Promotion -$1,250 15,000 Miles
Hold Back -$600 36 month lease
sale price $32,130
 
With a down payment of $1,026, my monthly payments will be $499.54 per month
 
Do you think this is a competitive quote? Can I get a better deal? What can I negotiate if anything?
 
Thanks for the time to read this. Any help or comments are apprecaited and welcomed.
 
PS - not sure if this makes a difference but I live in Northern NJ....

Car man:
 
Would you be so kind as to provide the current residual % and money factor for a 36 month lease on a 2009 Pilot EX-L AWD, with 15K miles (is it still a 2% change for 12K on the residual?) I am located in the chicago market.
 
I am coming off a lease of a 2005 Pilot - is there any Honda Loyalty promotion? Do you think there will be any significant changes to January numbers versus December?
 
Thanks in advance...
