Honda Accord Sport 2.0 12k/36months: Please Evaluate before I sign

Spoke to my insurance (Geico) they do not cover tire/wheels.

I’ve never lost a tire before this winter due to potholes, I lost 2 tires in potholes here in Middletown NJ, one on my Expedition and the other on my daughter’s Elantra.

It’s the liquid brine they are spraying on the roads before storms. The brine eats the roads and the underside of the cars. My 2005 Expedition has been eaten away by brine and chunks of rust are falling off all over it.

yeah… I guess I’m leaning towards declining their plan and see how my experience goes. Majority of my driving area is decent roads, some bad areas where I guess I will be more cautious. Can not prepare for all potholes of course.

do you have the sport 2.0T trim? I never had slim profile tires…so that’s a first for me.

Looks pretty good. Here they are offering $435/mo on similar Accord’s in my area.

Happen to be in NJ? Because thats what I’ve been getting

Maryland 202020

Is there a way to add that to the FAQ forum or “Leasing 101?” Seems like an important topic.

Yes it will be added!

Feel free to mention what’s right/wrong.

I didn’t understand the cap cost here of -473.82

Honda Loyalty: 750

Honda does things a little different. The $750 may be a straight dealer contribution (versus a consumer rebate/incentive) and reflected in your selling price. The $473.82 is a cash down payment from you, apparently. Unless you can find a manufacturer rebate or contribution somewhere else in the contract.

They also had you pay the entire monthly payment sales tax up front which is unnecessary and makes no sense. I’m not sure what would happen if you moved and your new state wanted it’s sales tax.

But it’s a good deal :slight_smile: enjoy your new ride!!!

I’m looking for pricing in PA for my cousin. First number from the dealer was $407. When I put it in my spreadsheet and the calculator I get $384. I asked if I was missing any fees and they just told me they aren’t sure how I’m doing the math. They resent the same worthless info sheet that just had the payment.

The calculator is NOT 100% accurate. But that far off I’d assume they must have something either baked in or incorrect. Sales guys do not know how to calculate leases, they just quote whatever their desking software spits out.

So the friend I was helping got 10k miles

I think it’s unfair that we have to pay for this problem. You think they would keep up with the road repairs but they don’t. They don’t take the time to even fill the cracks , year after year the roads fall apart and here we are paying heavy tax dollars and nothing is getting done, the amount of money to repair bridges and roads is in the trillions of dollars and all they do is ignore the fact that infrastructure is falling apart here in the US…
