Rodo has the 2019 CRV EXL advertised in NJ for $360/mo with $360 DAS for 36/15. So very close to your current deal. However, they also have a 2020 Passport EXL for the same term for $373 with $373 DAS. That is a much better value, unless you really have your heart set on a CRV.
Of course, we have no idea if you can actually get that Rodo deal right now. Could still be a total garbage system.
Sorry residual was 59%, but the other numbers are correct. Probably not a perfect deal but I was satisfied and the color was important to me. Dealer was Keenan Honda in Doylestown Pa.
This is a fair statement in terms of resale value in general for Hondas, but that would be the total cost after the sale in two or three years, not taking into account the larger monthly payments required during the ownership period. And if by some chance OP got into an accident or something like that the value of the car would be significantly reduced as well. Leasing may end up costing more in total over that period after a successful sale at a good price, but it also eliminates the unknown from the equation too, and you’re only really paying for what you are using out of pocket during that period of time.
Hey, thank you for reminding me of rodo! I knew about it and used it before to get a car but I just completely forgot about it as an option!
Well anyway, I just picked up two CRVs with rodo. Got an EX for $332/month with first month DAS and an EX-L for $346/month with first month DAS. Both $15k miles per year. Just FYI, the EX-L was supposed to be $360/month but I have someone in the family that is a recent graduate and we were able to get the student discount.
Hi!
Just picked up a 2019 CR-V EX-L for my mom in NJ. Got it for $308 a month with $1,900 DAS, 0 down. Signed a 36/15 lease as well.
I’m a bit late to the discussion here, but what dealership in the Chicago area did you go through?
Auto Nation, Des Plaines. John Ruberry salesman.
