Greetings space_pilot. I certainly do.
 
Honda Finance's November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2010 Fit with 15,000 miles per year are .00033 and 57%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.

#51 of 71 Is this a good lease deal? by ellie137

The dealer offered us the following lease package for the 2010 Honda Fit:
$1999 cap cost
$ 595 acquisition fee
$ 93 monthly fee
$ 329 documents fee
$ 125 registration
 
Then, $93/mo for 3 years, and the option to purchase at 60% MSRP.
 
Is this a good deal? We are in Massachusetts.

Hi folks,
 
I am thinking of leasing a Honda Fit and, as I'm a first-time leaser, I've done a lot of research but wanted to see if anyone could kindly weigh in on the deal.
Here are the numbers from a CT dealer:
 
MSRP: $17,160 (Honda Fit Sport Manual)
Selling price: $15, 739
Acq fee: $595
Money factor: .00033
Residual: 59%
 
No money down, but I will pay the following up front:
Dealer's conveyance fee: $399 (legal in CT)
Title & Reg: $155
 
So, for 36-mo lease at 12,000 miles
Base monthly= $181.22 + 10.87 tax
 
If any one has any thoughts, please share asap!! I would like to buy the car today if it's a good deal.

saravah- i don't know much about leasing, but after reading the post prior to yours with a monthly payment of $93 vs. your $181, I wonder if they are offering you a good deal.

Thanks, but not necessarily. The other deal required $2000 down so that would inevitably change the monthly payment. Furthermore, the former post didn't mention what model they were leasing--could have been the base Fit but I can't be sure so it makes comparisons difficult. In any case, I've decided to go for a different make/model but thanks for the input!!

Dear Car_man,
 
I wish to thank you in advance of any information you (or kyfdx) might provide to my questions on this leasing forum (as well as some other Honda car leasing forums I'll post a question on).
 
Car_man, because of your essential information 4-1/2 years ago here on Carspace/Edmunds, we were able to negotiate, in April 2006, a 3 year/15k lease on the then current year 2006 Honda Pilot EX-L that:
 
  • We got priced down to $28,139.48, and, thusly
  • Cost us only $358.14/month
  • Had a residual of only $16,197.50... so we bought the Pilot at the end of our lease!!!

    • We're currently looking to lease another Honda - somewhat more mileage oriented - and wish to know if you have any December figures for the 2010 or 2011 Fit?
     
    My wife and I are looking at the Fit Sport-5 spd/manual ($17,160 msrp) 12k/15k residuals and the money factor(s) for the Honda Financial leases.
     
    Once again, THANK YOU!
     
    Sincerely, builder

    Hi Car_man,
     
    Could you look up the money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2010 Fit Sport with 12,000 miles per year?
     
    Also, does the residual value depend on mileage? Is there a good tool or table to calculate residual value for different Fit years?
     
    Thanks,
    Edwin

    Hello Edwin. Honda Finance's March buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2010 Fit Sport with 12,000 miles per year are 0.00011 and 55%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.
     
    Yes, vehicles' residual values vary depending upon what mileage allowance you want.

    Car_man,
     
    Can you post June money factor and residual for 2011 Fit Sport 5 speed manual 3 years/36k? Any rebates or dealer cash on this car in NY?
     
    Thanks!
