I’m planning to buy out my lease with cash. Does it make sense to go via a dealership and ask for perks (they get the sale) or via the honda financial services directly?
They do not get the perks….when you signed the lease Honda Financial became the owner of the vehicle. What the dealer does get is the opportunity to charge you a fee, attempt to sell you products, etc….
Just buy it out via Honda Financial and avoid including a middle man that doesn’t need to be included.

Your vehicle is currently owned by HFS, the dealer gets zero benefit from you buying it out in cash and will turn you away
Now if you want to buy an extended warranty or use the dealers marked up financing then yes they would love to help out
