Hey Guys/Gals,

Quick question for those who have leased their cars.. I know that MSRP and lease money apply and that result will differ.. Just looking for a ballpark figure on ANY option/price civic.. Basically, any civic that does not have nav..

Before I get to that.. I have been drinking some 3-Olives and Sprite. Borderline drunk.

I come from the Audi World, still have one and love it. I also was leasing a 2012 Fusion SEL until this happened.. It was her fault, I was going ~47 when someone tried to make a left across 2 lanes of traffic... Not my fault.










With that being said/shown, I have come to terms that I can't get into another Fusion for the price that I need to be at. I only have until Next wednesday before I get charged for a rental car.

Need to be sub $300 with $0 down, and 15,000 miles per year.

That leaves me with:
2013 Civic Si for $281 a month
2014 Honda Accord 6-Speed $303 a month (Base with back up cam)
2013 Passat 5-speed, base model.

Is that reasonable for a Civic Si Lease? What do you guys pay?

Thanks in advance. Every time I search for leases, people have put $1,000-$2,500 down or have a trade and I can't get a good number on what they would be at with 0-down.

PS: Please refrain from telling me to search, I am not new to forums, I have done that plenty.

This is going to be heavily dictated by your credit worthiness and what is being offered in your area.

For example, Honda is not offering any $0 at time of signing on any leased vehicles , they aren't going to magically make an exception for you which I'm sure you're aware of. Unless you find some local dealership offering better deals on their own you're looking at the $2,500 down to get those offers.

Why do you need an SI anyways? Get yourself the base model. Doesn't require premium fuel and gets better mileage.

I just leased a 2013 Si Sedan (non Nav). First payment down ($305), all additional rolled in (tax, title, lic, doc, etc). Its an awesome car with great standard features. Just depends on what you want. The Accord and Passat are obviously bigger vehicles.

Just leased my 2013 Civic Si.. Don't cry, please don't cry when you hear my rates...

Sticker price of 23,505.

I pay 256.88 per month. 15,000 miles per year. Tax Title, lic, doc all rolled in...

$0 down, I signed the papers and drove off without paying a dime.

seanj130

You should search before giving terrible advice, and or knowledge. You can always get $0 down, like a true $0 down when you roll everything into your lease price.. Glad to know that I drove the car off the lot without paying a dime... With dealer plates as it was past the time that their clerks work.

I know that you have 12k posts, but you really need to come off as less of an *******..

seanj130

My buddy just told me that the car is called Taffeta White..

Absolutely love the car... Could not have made a better choice.

bairdandrew77

I don't see one sentence where he was being an *******. He was just trying to help and happened to be wrong about something as far as I could see.
Anyways, nice car. I almost financed one myself.

seanj130

Thanks man! I absolutely love my first Honda.. Coming from the Audi World, this is definitely an exciting car!

This is what I was referring to..

" they aren't going to magically make an exception for you which I'm sure you're aware of."

seanj130

I am sure this has been talked about a million times. Does anyone feel less connected to the rd at higher speeds and gradual corners with the steering? With slow speeds and tight corners I feel well connected to the road.. Hmm..

I got my rally red 2013 Si with navigation for 350 and $750 down with a credit score of 640 Experian

GSRGuy17

How much down on that, OTO? I went and looked at one today, and they are selling the '13s about $4k off MSRP...

Summy

Got mine for $295 a month lease, tax title, lic, doc rolled in for 3 years, $0 down with credit score of 743

If you're close to Westminster go to Honda World Westminster and they have white, silver, black and blue.

Mine is with nav and I put $750 down

Does yours come with nav ?

GSRGuy17

Nope, nowhere close to there lol

seanj130

How many miles? If I wanted Nav, my rate would have gone to 279.42 a month for 15k miles

seanj130

Do you have 15k miles per year? Nav?

Blast from the past. Wasn't trying to be an *******, and as I noted, that's your dealership waiving the money down requirement and rolling it into payments, not Honda. You can see from the link I gave you that Honda (corporate) is not offering any $0 down deals on their own, though that may have changed recently. Glad you got (and enjoy) the car regardless.

DaveSi677

That's cause the car comes with shitty tires... upgrade the rubber and you will feel more connected trust me!

Why didnt you just buy it? Just for the payment

seanj130

Thanks for your question.

I lease because I get $350 a month from my company towards the monthly payment on a car. I have to prove that I have a payment on a car, or that I own a car no older than 3 years. If I do not have a payment, I do not get a stipend. This is just an image thing for the company.

I may end up buying this car. I like it a lot, I just was not sure how it would be as I have never owned a honda. I am an Audi guy who happened to LOVE the ford fusion.

If i choose to buy, I will continue making the same payment for an additional 3 years, ontop of the 3 year lease.

DaveSi677

I wouldn't buy after the lease as you will get hit pretty hard with the by back... Maybe pick up a newer one or try something else!

See a lot of these without all the dealer installed stuff on it. We hammer people with that **** at our dealerahip.

seanj130

This car will probably get washed when winter is over, so It may see 3 washes if it is lucky. maybe an oil change or two. I really do beat on the car. If I didn't want to beat on the car I would have bought a regular civic, right?

After having the car for a few months, all I can say is that it is a BLAST to drive. Truly an amazing car.
