Hey yall, I’d love some input on whether this is a good lease deal or not. I’m interested in the 2023 Integra A-Spec Tech in Carbon/Red but haven’t gotten the best deals. Most dealers are charging 3-5k over MSRP and the quotes end up between $630-$700/m. The lowest I got was 7500/36, $0 down, 2k das for taxes and first payment, for just under $600/m. Is this anything or straight up bad? I appreciate any input!
$650/mo on a $36k car? It’d probably be cheaper to purchase it.

Ya the ones in the mid to high 6 range im not even bothering with.
He’s saying that your deal is already effectively $650/mo.
How much would it cost you to finance this? You only get 7500 mi w/ this lease, but you can drive it as much as you want, if you finance.

$600/mo with $2k das is $640/mo effectively, you’re just front loading some of the cost.

Gotcha! I know financing makes sense these days for many cars but I am interested in leasing so financing isn’t really an option for me. The mileage factor on financing is nice though!
Then you might be better off finding another car that leases better.

Aha, I see. I didn’t look at it that way so thanks for your insight, much appreciated!
Was it an MSRP deal? If not, what was the sale price?
I understand you are against financing this car, but if you take out a loan for 5 years (60 months) and put down $2k, your monthly payment will be about the same as the lease quotes you are getting (maybe $30 to $40 more per month). Guess what, you can always sell it after 3 years or whenever you feel like getting a new car.
Im flexible exterior wise but that red interior I really like. So I don’t know how “flexible” that really is!
Put it this way it’s a 36k car before taxes.
You are putting in 600/month. 600x36 =21000 toward a lease with super low miles.
That’s over 50% of the car. Now add the 2k DAS which is probably going to taxes and this is a horrible deal all around.
Unless you have money to throw away this is just nasty.

It wasn’t MSRP, it was $1.6-1.8k over. I’m not super against financing I just always looked at leasing as the #1 option for me!
I really appreciate you mapping it out and explaining the horrible deal, thank you so much!

In all honesty most of us on here have leased b/c it made sense while allowing us a lower cost structure in order to drive a new under warranty vehicle and swap out in 24-36 months.
Over the last 18-24 months leasing has started to no longer make financial sense with the exception of maybe 2 vehicles. Of course you can still lease, it just isn’t going to be financially compelling to do so. Esp when your set on a car that doesn’t have a compelling combination of mf, rv, incentives, & dealer contribution to make all the numbers work.

Why? Leasing is really only advantageous when
You are looking at a car that will probably be cheap to maintain and retain it value fairly well. There is literally no advantage to leasing it.
I’d contact @aronchi as a first step.

Some data points on markup, not a lot, but might be helpful. I would not lease this car.

Ok, I definitely understand that. I’m basically looking to lease at a really bad time it seems. I guess I find a different car or whatnot. Thanks for your input !
