Moderate damage? I’ve always been curious how they handle these things.
Honda gives a $500 damage waiver if you turn in your car and don’t buy another Honda. $1000 waiver if you do buy another Honda. Not sure how they handle the mileage overage when buying a new Honda. If I had to guess they waive that too.
By moderate damage I mean scratched bumper covers and some curb rash on the wheels. I commute to work and park in NYC.
Interesting. This is my post on my 19 sport 2.0T. I’m not too sure if there’s any reason for me to turn it in after the 36 months. Love the car a lot. And that says a lot, coming from a loaded 2015 Chrysler 300. Lost a lot of features but love the way the car drives. Tickles me when you floor it 
What features did you lose from a Chrysler 300? The Sport comes pretty well equipped?
Cooled seats, heated steering wheel, panoramic roof, all wheel drive, navigation, power tilt and telescoping wheel, better audio system with sub, there’s so much.

Fair enough. Ill concede.
Are you still able to leverage that deal for a 2.0? I’m currently at the end of my lease 8/31/19 on a 2017 Accord Coupe v6 with 30,005 miles.
It is gorgeous and I believe the Accord Sport 2.0 has the best sexy-to-fasty ratio.

That’s a fair amount of features to give up. I’m pondering on what I’m going to do. The opposite happened to me going from a sport Honda to a 1.5 touring with more features than I can count. Now I’m thinking what my next lease will be. You definitely lost a lot, especially the AWD, navigation, audio system and panoramic roof. Those features alone are worth upwards of $5000+ the 2.0 I believe has navigation right and a tuned up audio system?
My 1.5 has too many options, only way to get the same options is to either buy the lease out or try to get a deal on a 2.0 touring which I won’t be able to considering that’s the flagship of accords that payment will easily be $400+. No thanks.
But for that money you can get a BMW, as Hondas don’t lease well as you probably already know.
Yup. Buy Honda, lease BMW. No brainer. I surely wouldn’t have an Accord if I didn’t drive 25-30k miles a year

The Honda Accord is a mid size sedan. So you are telling me I can lease a BMW 5 Series (BMW’s mid size sedan) for $410/mn 36mn/18kyr $0 out of pocket?
Show me.
BMW stands for Big Wiener Mobile so don’t be fooled. Always get a Honda.

This guy did, keep in mind the lease payment includes tax in payment (if you can do the MSDs):
2019 BMW 530i, loaner with ~4500miles on it, MSRP 60455, discount 12100, incentive 4000 (2250+1000 conquest+750 OL), 36 months/15k miles per year, first month DAS, 499 per month. Offered the last day of July, Houston, TX.
I believe the MF was marked for sure, but for this payment and 15k miles per year, who cares the additional ~$20 per month.
If he needs 18k, BMW Miles are $0.25 after 15k. Honda miles are $0.10.
Also, IMO, an Accord Sport is a more involving drive than a base 530i…

Is your $364.97 monthly payment with or without tax?
I’m looking for a similar offer here in So Cal. I wonder if anyone in So Cal was able to negotiate a similar deal. Demand in the LA area is huge on these Hondas.
That’s with everything included. $0 DAS.

Nice topic. I thought I would post this here.SEems like you got a good deal Rutlelog!!!
If you can help me with my deal I would appreciate it.
I just got a quote for a Honda Accord 1.5 Sport 2019. I am considering leasing vs. buying, but I drive over 17k miles per year, so I am leaning on buying.
The dealer quoted me $290 (OTD, $0 drive off) for a 15K mile lease, as well as $330 for an 18k mile lease (OTD, $0 drive off). The other option is to buy the car for $25300 (OTD, all taxes and fees included). My only hesitation is whether I should wait for the 2020 model to come out, but not sure if I will get the same deals. There is probably some more room to negotiate too.
