After 36 months you would owe $16,058.81 on a vehicle with a 36 month residual of $17,750. So you would be well over $1,500 in positive equity. WHY THROW AWAY $18,000 in lease payments??? |

I don't understand it as they can make more money with taking the trade-in, but that's what they told me before, no trade in order to take this special deal. |

Replying to: charriman (Apr 13, 2009 2:35 pm) Also, the guy a few posts up said "Ways to lower your payment" and listed LARGER DEALER DISCOUNT as a tip. Good luck. These Honda dealers think their vehicles are made out of solid gold. Not much negotiating room at all. Best way to lower your payment is to shop a different brand OR BUY like I've been saying all along. Honda and leasing should not even be allowed in the same sentence. |

| My 06 EX-L is due to return end of the month. Still runs/looks perfect, and economical too ($289/month nothing upfront). Was thinking about extending the lease but since no more warranty, I wanted to look around to see what else. Best 09 Pilot EX-L 2WD deal I seen so far is Boch in MA for $388 nothing down. Is that the case or has someone managed to find something cheaper? | |
