Better to Buy vs Lease by rd1ofakind

I was looking to lease my second S2K, but the leases are terrible now. So I ended up buying one last Thursday, got an '07 Silverstone and paid $29,000+ tax, alarm included. I have heard of deals a bit cheaper too in different states, I'm in CO. They still had the 2k incentives, and were advertising the car at 5k under msrp, so I negotiated a bit more.
 
If at all possible, I recommend buying an '07 right now, thats where the best deal can be found.

Robert,
 
Nice Job! I'd love to bring mine up there to the hills just outside of Manitou Springs... there are some twisties that would just be a blast in the S! If you get a chance to head up that way, hit the VTech in the canyon once, just for me!

Congratulations on your new S2000, Robert. Get out there and enjoy it before it gets too cold . Thanks for taking the time to stop in and let us know how everything turned out.

Lease on S2000 is really horrible. Honda tries hard to sell it instead of giving it for lease, they don't want to buy back this car after lease. It is really great car. I got the lowest possible quote on this car: $28,000 including destination. Now waiting for dealer to give really good rate for financing this car. If anybody interested in NJ let me know. They still one more left in red. I am getting in yellow.

I have a nice, cheap lease on my 05 S. I keep waiting and hoping Honda will bring back a cheap lease sometime before my lease is up - if they do I will probably upgrade to a new S. As it is, I would probably just buy mine at lease end and not get a newer S due to the unfavorable current lease rates.
 
I am on my 2nd NFR S, I love the color - but I DID consider yellow but just could not pull the trigger on it .

I have a quote of $32,300 for the car 36mon. 12k miles and $2,900 total drive offs. $339 + tax of $26.27 = $365.27 a month. money factor is .00054 and residual is 56% $19,570. I am in San diego, Ca. tax is 7.75%. Any help would be much appriciated. Thank you, cicilbri

that seems pretty low! I called a local dealer just a week or so ago and he claimed that with minimum drive offs I'd be OVER $500/month to lease.
 
is this a new lease special?

Deal looks good by 23109vc

ok...
 
this new lease deal has the MF at .00054
the residual value on a 12k / year lease is based on a 56% residual. that's using the advertised MSRP of 34935 and a residual value of 19563.
 
now the website says the buyer must put down $2499 in cash. 1500 of it is cap cost reduction the rest goes to drive offs? i'm not 100% sure on that.
 
they say the actual cap cost is 31141.
 
i KNOW people have been buying S2000s AT invoice. and that is 31000 I think.
 
if you just ignore their numbers about how much you put down or what the cap cost is ... once you know the MF and the residual and invoice..you can calculate a potential payment.
 
using the honda website figures for MF and residual. and assuming i bought the car for 500 over invoice which is roughly 31500
I get a monthly payment with CA 7.75% sales tax of $400.
that's WITH tax.
 
now assume I just plunk down say $1500 to cover drive offs.
that brings the payment down to $355/month.
 
that's not bad for an s2000!

Folks have been paying at invoice or less with dealer incentives, for sure. However, when they have cheap lease deals the incentives usually do not apply.
 
That said, you should be able to get one at invoice or a little over. So if you run the numbers at that price you come out with a little higher payment with the $595 bank fee, first payment, security deposit (if applicable), and TTL due at signing. This deal calls for a net cap cost of $31,141.79 and invoice is $31,689 or $547.21 more. So the payment would be higher unless you put in that much as a cap cost reduction, paid the $595 bank see, and first month's payment and TTL at signing.
 
One problem you have is that many dealers still have a bunch of 07 S2000s and this lease does not apply to those. They may not have many 08s to choose from or might not be willing to deal as low to move them when they have 07s to move. If you want to go 3rd party lease or finance, the 07s should be a couple grand under invoice, maybe a little better.
