Where do you get Honda Finance rates? by eddieloveselwa

Car_man,
This is a great forum.. I have been lurking for the past month or so and i am ready to pull the trigger on an RDX lease.
 
The dealer i spoke to in the Boulder, CO area touted the advertised 3k down, $379 a mos for 10k miles deal.
 
When i presented some of the information from your posts regarding Honda Finance rate lease money factor and residual values, he gave me the typical, "You cant believe what you read on the internet" and "people are just trying to brag about deals better than they actually got" line.
 
I know this is dealer speak and believe the information you post on this site. i would love to be able to throw some facts in his face but obviously showing him a link to this forum wont cut it. How can i actually get the dealer to admit the current Honda Finance rates??
 
many thanks!!!!

Just got back from n NEw JErsey dealer
2007 without tech pkg. 36months 10k ,with 1000 down money factor of 0...1460% $479 included is the 3 months I have left on my Honda lease (Looks like the same figures you have in previous postings) residual 58% etc Is this the best I could hope for also as most dealers a bit for pressure to sign before the end of the month. I was hoping to bargin for a better deal Do you think I can? If I decide to pay the 960 upfront the monthy becomes 450 HElp so confused

What is 3 months left on Honda lease worth? Hard to determine with that included in your price. As reference, in January I got 2007 w/o tech 36mts, 12k/yr, no money down, same money factor and I believe 59% cap redu rate for $395.28 in NYC. Don't believe you have a great deal. In order to get the payment down to $450 you need to put another 1K down? I did pay $1900 for tax, title, reg, prep etc to walk out with car but I assume you will have to pay that in addition to your money down. Good luck!

Most people here are talking about purchase price and I would love your help on lease prices. It seems that everyone here says you can probably get the car at/below invoice. Does the following logic make sense then?
 
The invoice price on the RDX w/Tech is approximately the same as the MSRP used to calculate their current lease deal on the non-tech package ($369 per month/$2999 at signing). Can I then assume that I should be able to negotiate a lease deal for the Tech package at those same numbers they are offering for the non-tech package?
 
Any help is most appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks eddieloveselwa. I'm glad that you enjoy it so much. The money factors and residual values that I have mentioned in this discussion are definitely right. The dealer that you are working with knows that Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Acura RDX is .00108 for consumers who qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier. If the dealer is unwilling to admit this, just tell them that you are going to work with a dealer that is more truthful with you. Negotiate the lowest selling price that you can on the RDX that you want and then have the dealer calculate your monthly payment using the aforementioned money factor.

Hi rnmom. If you are confused about how leasing works, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment. The will explain exactly how leasing works for you.
 
Basically, you want to negotiate the lowest selling price that you can on the truck that you are interested in and then have the dealer that gives you the best price calculate your truck's monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor. You never mentioned the MSRP or selling price of the truck that you got a payment quote on. If you tell me what these numbers are I would be happy to give you my opinion on this deal.

Hi stephlite. If I was in the market for an Acura RDX right now, I personally would shoot for a selling price of around $500 over dealer invoice. Let's use this as a guideline and calculate a lease payment on this truck for you. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2007 Acura RDX Tech that has an MSRP of $37,165 and a selling price of $34,645 ($34,145 invoice + $500) through Honda Finance right now for 36 months with 10,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment should be around $455. This will give you an idea of what sort of payment to expect on this model.

Hi mjo1. Dealer invoice is a good selling price for this truck. Plus the dealer that you are working with used Honda Finance's current buy rate for it to calculate your monthly payment. This looks like a very good deal to me. If you like the truck, I personally don't see any reason not to pull the trigger on this deal.

Thanks Car Man. Very helpful. And so if I want to agree to their lease deal that includes the $2,000 cap cost reduction, then I'm looking at around $400 per month, plus tax. What are your thoughts on zero down vs some money down?
