How the Honda
Lease Works
When you lease a
new Honda
automobile, you contract to use it for the first - and best - period of
its life. Your monthly payment covers the depreciation of the vehicle,
plus a service fee. That means that you pay only for the portion of the
vehicle's worth that you are actually going to use. In a lease, your
mileage is generally limited to 12,000 or 15,000 miles per year,
although you can "buy" extra miles up front to save excess mileage
charges at the end of your lease.
Your monthly lease payment
is calculated based on several factors, including the term of the
lease, a service charge, the capitalized cost which is based, in part,
on the purchase price, and the vehicle's projected residual value at
the end of your lease. A capitalized cost reduction, similar to a down
payment, can help reduce your monthly payment. To save time, you can
even apply
for pre-approval online. Don't forget to check with your insurance
agent to make sure you have sufficient coverage.
Then What?
At the end of
your lease, Honda
offer a variety of choices. You can purchase the vehicle at a
predetermined price and keep it, or just return the vehicle and take
care of any end-of-term obligations. Best of all, you can return the
vehicle and lease again. Our Leadership Leasing Loyalty? program
makes it easy and affordable to get right into another Honda
at the end of your lease.
