Anyone know what residual % and interest rate Honda is using on the 2006 Odyssey EX-L for 36 month leases?
 
Thanks

Greetings mi_sat. Honda is scheduled to publish its new September lease program some time today. I should be able to find out what the Odyssey's new program is like within the next day or two. Post a reminder in this discussion for me in a couple of days and I will be more than happy to fill you in on what Honda's new lease program for this van is like. Talk to you soon.

Car_man,
 
Thank you for your reply. I will be interested in your information so that I may calculate an estimated lease monthly payment.
 
I'm not sure how to articulate this question: Does Honda residualize dealer installed options the same way it residualizes the vehicle? I
ve heard that Toyota has a different residual for its options than the vehicle itself.
 
Looking forward to your input!

You're very welcome mi_sat. Unlike Toyota Financial Services, American Honda Finance Corp. allows the full residualization of any factory installed options, though Honda doesn't offer much in optional equipment anyhow. Most of its vehicles come fairly well equipped with standard equipment. I am not sure about its residualization policy for dealer installed options. As far as this van's current lease program goes, if you were to lease a 2006 Odyssey EX-L non-Touring and without the navigation or entertainment systems through AHFC right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00255 and 55%, respectively.

Thanks again for your valuable information.
 
My opinion: Honda's finance rate is absurd. 6.1% on a 36 month lease? Yikes. I can get a 60 month car loan at 5.2%. Maybe buying isn't such a bad idea. Payment difference is only about $110/month.

Car Man - does 12K miles effect the interest rate that much ? 6% for a 36 mo is a bit steep. What about a 39 mo ?
 
Thanks

Mileage won't affect interest rates, only residuals. The interest rate is dependent upon the cost of funds for Honda Credit plus its markupt. Cost is dependent upon the term structure of interest rates (what various rates are for various bond maturities; a/k/a/ "yield curve").
 
Given what one can get a car loan from a credit union, I think 6% is too high. But that's just me. Some banks are charging a lot more than that.

You're very welcome mi_sat. Most manufacturers' standard finance and lease rates are not very attractive. Honda doesn't need to provide low interest rates on the Odyssey because it sells well enough on its own. Financing this van through an independent bank is not a bad idea.

Dpav, leases' mileage allowances have no impact upon their money factors. Honda finance's standard money factors are exactly the same for 36 and 39 month leases right now, .00255. Its standard factor drops slightly, to .00235, for 42 and 48 month terms.
