Hello,

I live in South Florida and I am trying to secure a 36 months lease (10 or 12K miles per year).
Trying to see if this is a good deal or not… I’ve reached out to over four dealerships and this was the lowest quote received thus far. Kindly let me know your thoughts. Thank you in advance for your help.

2018 Honda Accord Sport

**MSRP: $26,675
**Selling Price: $**23,200
**Monthly Payment: $**296.00+tax (7%)
**Cash Due at Signing: $**First month and DMV transfer tag fee
**MSD: $0.00
Annual Mileage: 10,000
MF: .00092
Residual: 59%
Acquisition fee: $595
Destination fee: $900
Doc fee: $899
Title fee: $239

I feel like this is a bit expensive as I was offered a 2019 Mercedes Benz CLA 250 for $388.00 month (taxes included) with $1000 down.
MSRP: $36945
Sale price: $31440

My budget is $300.00 / month all in… $500 payment to drive off max. I am open to suggestions. Thanks.

In NJ, Was able to get an EX for $299 including tax. My doc fee is around $400 though.

$299 per month with nothing down and no money to drive off??? How many miles per year? That’s insane. I can’t get them down further.

Not a fan of the Camry :frowning:

If price is main focus, maybe worth taking a second look

I guess it depends on the market… here in Arizona the best offer I received on a Sport 1.5t is $310 including taxes. 36 month 12k miles with $0 down $0 DAS which is pretty much in line with your offer… Sport 2.0T was coming in at $375 same terms

Honda doesn’t do 10k. At 12k miles you can get in a Sport 2.0 for 350-60 with nothing down. A lot of people don’t realize but the 2.0 is actually a completely different trim than the sport 1.5. Sport 2.0 comes with all EX features. No competition with the CLA either, the Sport 2.0 is a better car in every way except for the brand badge.

I don’t blame you at all. If you want the Accord then yes by all means pay the premium for the difference. Even though Toyota has done a decent job with the current refresh, the Accord still manages to keep itself one level above the Camry. I guess thats a rivalry that will always be there and Honda will keep it above.

The CLA is more of a civic comparision than the Accord but I guess your point is that Honda has done an exceptional job in re-energizing the model. Its currently beating its own cousin the TLX.

Yes. Size wise it’s closer to a civic comparison. Price wise it would be compared to the Accord 2.0 as seen above.

Picked up mine yesterday and thoroughly impressed with its refinement.

Would you mind sharing your deal sheet? What did you get, etc…? Thanks.

I prefer to get a CLA 250 vs. Accord 2.0 much better handling I feel like but that’s my own opinion. Drove a CLA 250 in 2015-2016.

Posted my deal in Deals section. Not a lot of information as I’m new to this.
