There’s really no reason to wonder. What’s the best quote you’ve got and what’s the best in the Marketplace ?

i dont know the key variables or how to calc.
Do you have a youtube video to watch? I go with the price in mind and if it doesnt fit I let them know.
There is an entire Leasing 101 section here…

They haven’t updated for April, but it’s not like their quantity of Pacificas on their lot is decreasing heh.

Agree, with many broker deals, there may be some $ you might be able to save going it alone, but it can take some work. But broker deals are all over the place here. Some brokers were leaving $2000+ of “meat on the bone” with the recent ionic deals. That’s a lot, and to most here, it’s worth putting time into getting some of that back.
I don’t think new Hondas are that reliable. They can go 300000 miles but not without repairing struts/joints, sliding door mechanisms, secondary catalytics, alternators, and ignition coils. We’re on our 3rd Oddy now, and had these issues with the first two, in less than 100k miles 
. Still like them, but this time we’re not trying to hold for 10 years. The TCO is a wash so we’re dumping once out of warranty. Even after taxes, I expect we’ll have spent less than if we leased, since HMF residuals are so low.
How do you think they get paid? That meat on the bone is their profit
It’s not just you. Honda fell below the industry average on the JD Power 2023 Vehicle Dependability study and 2023 Initial Quality study (Acura also did not fare well).

But people still think Honda generally makes reliable cars, so… :shrug::

Well some are eating a lot more meat than others. Ionic 5 perfect example
You think 2k is a large bird dog? Bless your heart…
It’s 2000 plus the meat.
How does this sound? I still think its high
pacifica limited hybrid
$1000 down, 39 months, 7.5miles/yr
$647/month
$44,235 final price msrp $57,235
Oh man, they stopped the 0.00086 money factor after 3/31. What the heck. They’re currently at 0.00388 to 0.00404. That’s insane. That’s higher than Mercedes G63 money factor.
I think the Pacifica has fallen off your shopping list this month. Too bad for CDJR dealerships.
If you don’t need a car this moment, it’s not worth it to get a Pacifica for now unless they can put way way way more money on the hood. I’d never risk leasing then buying out a Pacifica. You don’t want that smoke for long-term residual exposure.
Just got this from the norcal dealer
$2500down, $650/mon, $59425msrp ,50158 sale, 36month, 7.5miles/yr
Jim’s 4Runner would be 100x better than this Pacifica.

Brokers like @Jeff_BeachCitiesAuto occasionally get Siennas at sticker or small discount. Finance one.
Otherwise the most likely way for your Pacifica lease to play out is you take this lease, spend a total of $25k over the next 3 years, back to square one. Lease another one, total spend in excess of $50,000 over six years and you have absolutely $0.00 equity to show for it. Vs $15-20,000 in the Sienna.

Pacifica is the completely wrong choice if you are open to most 3 rows in general
If you want cheap, 3 rows and mid tier I have 4Runners that are LOW in Norcal for you
