2019 Honda Accord EX-L 1.5 $360 lease - good deal?

Very good deal especially with 15k.
Many people are coming back with numbers in the mid 300s which is absolutely Ludacris for a 1.5 sport so you did very well with those numbers. What’s the pro pack?

As for the BMW deals, it’s alot of luck, people will say it’s skill and time and negotiation but if that was true everyone here would leaping on the bandwagon. As you can see you tried and had no luck . I would try my hand at it with local BMW dealers near me, but I’m not in the market now.

The super good deals - yeah that requires good luck and negotiation. There was a guy that posted yesterday who got a 430i gran coupe for like $198, with no drive offs. That’s an insane unicorn hack.

That being said, I’m confused that people in this thread are unable to believe you can get a luxury car for cheaper than a Honda Accord lease payment. Even the average broker deals available in the marketplace, which require no hacking, have plenty of great cars available in the $200s. Infinitis in particular.

I want to lease an Accord Sport 2.0T so I’ve done my research.

The current round of incentives ends on the 8th. I did some research into the last 2 years’ worth of Honda summer sales events and they improved those incentives over the ones the previous quarter. While inventory isn’t as crazy as it was this time in 2018, there still seems to be a lot of 2019 inventory out there.

Even if it doesn’t improve, it shouldn’t get any worse. It’s worth waiting a week, if you don’t absolutely have to have a car this week.

If the car I want still leases in the $385-ish range once those July incentives hit, I will contact a broker to see if they can do a lot better for me on something else, anything from a Tacoma to a BMW.

As someone else on this thread suggested, that price range is Sport 2.0T money. You’re paying a lot for a leather interior. If you can forego the leather and whatever other minor comforts that EX-L has over the 2.0T, you can get a car that’s a lot of fun to drive for about the same price.

The Honda 2.0 sport should come with leather, makes absolutely no sense why they didn’t include it in the 2.0. right before they did away with the last generation sport they offered a “special edition” which included leather and heated seats, to have them release a new generation, this time with two different levels and not offer leather in the higher 2.0 trim is disappointing. Hopefully they have some changes for the 2020 models on extra interior features on the 2.0 sport moving forward, I drive the touring 1.5 so it has features all included that now I’m used to and hope to get on my next car but highly doubtful since the 1.5 touring no longer exists, might have to opt for the 2.0 touring but no way no how am I paying more than $400 for a Honda. Might opt for the XSE Camry at that point since they seem to be leasing less than touring 2.0s!! Unless they get me in a 2.0 touring for $325-$340 than I’ll take it but for now no one is getting deals on Honda’s!!

Yeah…I also have zero luck in that area as well. Ive really only had good luck at one dealership in FL. Its been much better for me to go to the NE for cars.

I looked at a Camry SE with convenience package yesterday as well. They’re first offer to me on a 36 month 12k mile a year lease was $492/mo with $2000 down… I couldn’t believe it when I saw it. I told the sales person that if you can convince anyone to pay $500/mo for a Toyota you deserve an award. Anyway, within about 5 minutes I was able to talk them down to $337/mo with only first month payment and tag transfer out of pocket. However I’m still trying to bring them down to around $320/mo. If they come down to that price I’ll probably take it.

Yes…You can’t just walk into the dealer and ask for that. It takes the right car, right timing, right dealer. But, past he effort required, its not that difficult. You just have to be willing to hear no a lot before finally getting the yes🤪

I’m not joking with what I’m about to say but about 3 years ago I was looking to lease a 3 series and the monthly payment the dealer offered me was so absurd…It was $930/mo with $3000 down, on a F****** 3 series! I told him I could get a 7 series for that price. I still think about it till today, that was a real offer too.

Trust me, your number is good now at $337. We’re just saying Honda leases are currently super bad. I checked the numbers you initially posted and it doesn’t matches with the calculator. With $337/month it seems like they’re discounting you 18% off MSRP. Then, take that one.

For an idea of what a broker can do on a Honda with the incentives expiring July 8, see Mani’s post: FL JULY'19 - Honda Deals Civic $196+tax, Accord $254+ tax, CRV $288+tax and Pilot $410+tax ONLY 1st DAS

The $254 for the Accord is probably on a lower trim.

Everyone should realize the good 4 series deals are due to loyalty (110 per month) as well as OL (20-45 per month) without either it’s hard to get a sub 300 430 deal. Also the Accord is much bigger than the 4 series or 3 series so it caters to different people.

The Sport 2.0T is in the same price range as the EX-L. I’d use that for an approximate comparison.

36/10 for $355+tax for a comparably priced Accord from a broker that is respected here. $360 including tax for what looks like 36/12 or 36/15 (55% residual) seems like a good deal in comparison to what that broker is offering.

I think I may have just talked myself into saying that’s a great deal. But I still believe (don’t know, so take it for what it’s worth) that you might do $10-15/month better come July 9.

$492 and $2000 down for a Camry SE with convenience package :rofl::rofl: I would have been sure let’s do this and as soon as he was about to take my info I would have been like got yaaaa…and laughed right in his face. And isn’t it funny how quick you were able to knock down the price by thousands of dollars. I bet you half of those customers would have taken the $2000 and $492 a month deal. I believe you can easily get that even less than $320 with a little time. To be honest that car can be had for upper $200s.

check the calculator, based on his numbers they are selling it fro $25,400 which is around 18% off MSRP. TBH that’s a unicorn accord deal, we wanna see that agreement on paper, the most I got is 10% right now. that 55% residual is horrendous, they just dont wanna let someone lease this vehicle. Take it @quentin718 and post the picture of your deal. No one is getting that number you’re getting. Not even close.

Propack is the add on accessories, weather mats, wheel locks, mud guards, tints. I actually did better than what I would’ve been able to get with a broker. Not taking away from what they do…

@quentin718 where is the lease worksheet of that $337/month all in with $550 DAS. Seriously, for an accord at this time, that is a unicorn deal for an Accord!!! Show it to us. You cannot even get an EX for that price.

I’m referring to the Camry deal not the Accord. Are you replying to my post? Confused

I have asked for all weather mats with nearly every lease I have done and not once has it happened, wheel locks I have gotten twice which is usually a $100 option. Tints nope. Next time I’ll opt for that package to seal the deal.

I would hold off on the accord deal, why because the numbers on incentives can only get better in the next 30-90 days. If he can wait it out I would definitely recommend it. Only $300 incentives? Come on.
