I didn't do my homework before going to the dealership, is my lease bad? by bk_metro

I brought my 2005 CRV- EX 4WD to the dealer to see what kind of deal I could get. It was in a major accident 2 years ago (hit by drunk driver while parked) that cost about $15,000 to fix. The car was only 2 years old at that point and really hasn't been right since. The dealer offered me $11,000 on the car (less the $8000 left on note) which I used for a down payment on a new lease for a 2009 CRV-EX-L 4WD. I've never leased before and wasn't entirely clear on what I was getting into.
 
The agreed upon value of the new car is $28,480.26 (includes $600 for alarm system). Including taxes and everything I'm paying $441 for 48 months. From what I've looked at online, it's not the worst deal, but definitely not the best. Any thoughts? The residual value is $14160 and the money factor is .0036. I live in NYC so the sales tax is 8.25%

money factor is .0036 is surely high
 
alram system 600 can be negotiated down to 350... I told the Finance guy I can get a Lojack for 500 he immediately offer me 350 if I take it now.

How did I do? Just leased a 09 crv-ex for $397 in Central Florida. 39 months, 15,000 miles per year with 0 out of pocket cost. 12,000 miles just was not enough for the commuting I do. They also paid off my last 3 payments on my old lease and paid the first payment on the new lease.

Hi dean27. Savvy consumers who live in an area that has a decent level of competition are almost always able to negotiate lower selling prices than the ones that manufacturers' official advertised lease payments are based upon. If I was in the market for a 2009 CR-V right now, I personally would shoot for a selling price of a couple hundred dollars over dealer invoice, which would essentially be right at or slightly under invoice once the $500 dealer cash that Honda is currently providing on this model is taken into account. A lease based on this price would have a lower lease payment than the one that is being touted in the ad that you mentioned.

Hi sassydog. Honda introduced a new $500 dealer cash incentive on the 2009 CR-V in January. Taking this cash into account, I would not be surprised if one was able to negotiate a capitalized cost that's at, or even slightly below dealer invoice for a lease right now.
 
Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Honda CR-V EX-L 4WD with 15,000 miles per year are .00280 and 57%, respectively.
 
Good luck in your quest for a new ride and let us know if you have any other questions.

Carman is that a good rate lease money factor?

Ouch!!!!
 
$441x48 =21168 + $3000 down ($11,000 for 05 CR-V - $8,000 owed) = $24,168 in payments over 4 years for a $28,480 agreed upon price.
 
Factor in the $14,160 residual and you have effectively paid $38,328 for the vehicle.
 
The worst part is that after 4 years and $24,168 in payments, you have no vehicle!!!
 
$441/month with $3,000 down on a 4 year lease is luxury vehicle territory.

Not particularly. .00280 isn't bad, particularly when it is combined with solid residual values, but it's equivalent to an interest rate of around 6.7%. Many manufacturers have money factors that are much lower than that.
