Hi CarMan.....I'm back...8 months after my initial Honda Element Leasing query. Only 9 posts on this board asking questions about leasing an Element? I guess everybody's buying, nobody's leasing. Well to my point, the '07 EX 2wd is on the table to lease for my wife. we'd like to move on it within 2 weeks. I'm looking at '07 EX / 2WD MSRP: 23,492.00 3 / 15,000 mile Lease Tier 1 credit What can you tell me about money factor and residuals on these. Thanks in advance..... The Omegaman

Replying to: theomegaman (Mar 30, 2007 4:35 pm) Honda is not currently providing any lease support on the 2007 Element. As a result, if you were to lease one through Honda Finance right now, you would have to use its standard lease program. Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Element EX 2WD with 15,000 miles per year are .00280 and 53%, respectively for consumers who pay a security deposit at lease signing and qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier. Even though Honda is not providing any lease support on the '07 Element this month, you're in luck because for April it introduced a new $500 dealer cash incentive on it. Make sure to take this cash into account when negotiating your truck's selling price. Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum |

We just(4/26/07) leased a 2007 2WD EX Element with only a cargo cover and cargo net as options. It comes pretty well equipped. We paid $464 down/tags/first month with a $264 monthly payment on a 36 month 12k mile/year lease. Residual is $12,267 We are participating in a program with Sandals Resorts who "wrapped" our Element for travel advertising. Travelagent |

Replying to: Car_man (Jun 12, 2007 1:55 am) After 3 years, Sandals will also contribute to paying the residual. In the meantime, it should increase sales for both of us. It is very attractive and I've fielded questions everywhere I've gone so far. You can see my Element here http://vacationatsandals.com/Element.htm

I just leased a 2008 EX AWD in the SF Bay Area. I paid $369 over invoice + $640 lease acquistion + doc fees, 36 mo lease  0.00300 money factor (7.20%) w/ residual calculated at 61% (wow!). I could have gotten invoice but was feeling nice (i.e. like a sucker). Also maybe could have gotten a bit lower for an 2007, but check that residual % - that's increased for the 2008's vs 2007's. PS - I *love* the car!

I am being told by a salesperson that he cannot offer dealer cash on a lease, however, I see that in this forum you are advising to go after that cash with a lease. Is the sales person trying to snowball me? I offered $21,600 but he will only give me this price on a purchase, otherwise it will be $1,000 more to lease (the dealer cash amount). He also said that the $499 "Customer Service fee" is not negotiable. I understand why they have the fee in place but do you think if they want the sale bad enough that they would discount or forgive this fee? One last item - I have offered $21,600 for the '08 SC. I found out this is about $341 more than Consumer Reports says is the "bottom dollar price" should I beat up the sales guy a little more over $349 or is $21,600 a good price? Thanks for your time.
