Replying to: dwynne (May 10, 2007 12:44 pm) Thank you so much for outlining this. I was able to FINALLY arrive at a number much closer to what I have been quoted! This was an excellent write up (too bad it cant be made a sticky). Thanks again, Dennis! I don't feel so lost or overwhelmed now. Daryl |

I've heard from dealers that Honda more than likely wont offer the lease specials since they don't want them back due to their slow sales. Is that just a dealer's pitch to incourage me to do the current deal OR is there some truth to this statement? I've got a deal on the table that I would be comfortable with doing but I'd be willing to wait three weeks to see next months incentive if there is a chance for the lease special.

Replying to: accelerator (May 11, 2007 1:30 pm) If you can get the car for close to invoice less $2,000 including deal fees, that is a hot deal. Either buy at that price, 3rd party lease, or Honda lease - whichever is the best deal. Over in the price paid forum, a dealer in CA is offering a new 07 S for $28,888 or something like that. For those kind of prices, it is hard to go wrong on any deal. They may come back with cheap leases, but (like the current Accord deal) they are not likely to do incentive AND cheap lease on the same deal. When I checked, the cheap lease at invoice is better than the standard lease at $2k under invoice. But you don't KNOW for sure what they will do and spring is here  Dennis |

This is what they presented to me: 48 months/48k miles msrp $34,845 360.00 $2860 down (I have $830 in negative equity I'm rolling over into the deal) How is this deal? Bottom line, is this a good deal? I'm happy with the monthly payment. I took it home overnight to see how it fits in my lifestyle and it is a pretty extreme ride (but that is for another thread/forum).

Replying to: accelerator (May 16, 2007 7:25 am) I pay less than that for my lease on the 05 and I put nothing into the lease except first month's payment, IIRC. I would not not pay so much into a cap cost reduction to lower the payment. Pay the negative equity and maybe the first month's payment and that is about all. In the event of a total loss on the car you insurance will pay off Honda and give you nothing (for your $2,860 out of pocket). I still would not do a 48 month lease, but that is just me. Dennis

Replying to: dwynne (Oct 05, 2006 5:44 pm) Regarding the 48 month lease, my wife is really against this car so if I want it, I have to do 48 because once I have it, I wont be able to get another sports car of this calibur again.  My wife also said due to the increase in insurance that $360 is my cap for a car payment. And about what my wife says, that is another topic of discusssion.  The cap cost reduction is $2500 and $360 is the first payment.

Replying to: habitat1 (May 16, 2007 2:52 pm) To be honest, financing a $30k is out of my budget since my wife is starting her own home-based business and we aren't sure yet how it will do. Leasing is the only option for me. I may have to drop off the forums once I do the deal because Murphy's Law says that after you sign the deal, you'll find an even better deal next month.

I'm now the proud lesee of a 2007 Rio Yellow S2000 and I couldn't be more happier with my decision. I thought about waiting til next month to see what offers would be around but became impatient. I got an incredible deal on the financing terms. Could it have been better if I waited? Maybe. I got much lower than the .00285 money factor and given I rolled over almost $1000 of negative equity, I couldn't be happier with my monthly payment of $360.00 (not a penny more). I may not be posting for a while as I'll be out driving... Now what do I name her? I'm thinking "Little Miss Sunshine"

Replying to: accelerator (May 18, 2007 7:40 am) I went back to the dealer today to take a close look at his inventory once again, and am thinking about switching from silverstone to new formula red. The red car is in exhibition and unfortunately it has 26 miles (I would prefer less than 10) on it, but it looks like fresh from the truck. Any comments about that relatively high number of miles at the time of purchase? Again, best wishes with your new toy.
