Default Question for S2K Leasees

Hey guys,

Coming to the end of my S2K MY04 lease and it looks like I am going to be a bit over 36K miles when I turn it in (Jan '07).

Feel like I'll get the best deal re-upping through Honda Financing (leased the s2k thru them). Any word on loyalty deals (considering 07 s2k, TL-typeS & RDX). Anyone know of any FINANCIAL benefit to limiting myself to a Honda financed product for my next ride...info on any specific programs would be greatly appreaciated....no money down, eary turn-in etc.

Thanks.

self bump. No luck? Thought that I was hearing some talk about a no money down 300.00/month deal on s2ks, if so that might be too had to pass up even though I am about ready four a 4-seater...

Check Honda website for any on-going deals.

I am thinking that there may be some unpublished-type deals for good customers (got a call from the dealer the other day referencing the end of my lease and saying he has "good news") haven't been able to reach him yet but I anm assuming its may be some kind of incentive not widely known yet...let you know when I find out...on the other hand its probably just "sales as usual:

You could roll it over into a loan and buy the car outright.

If the dealer is going to offer you a deal to buy, subtract the total lease payments and down-payment from that years MSRP. If pretty close, you might have a pretty good deal since technically you never paid any finance charges.

well, not really.

every lease has a depreciation and an interest component. The leasing company doesn't break it out for you but about 1/4 to 1/3 is interest.

Word dat. Turning in my S at lease-end will not be an option.

if you are okay with sticking with a Honda/Acura product then you can just trade the car in now and avoid the lease-end crap. As long as you do a new lease or finance on a new car they are usually willing to kill your current lease early. (As long as the lease payoff is at or below the lease payoff amount.)

Or you can re-finance the car through AHFC now if you want to keep the car.
