My Take: Couple of months ago, IFS was pushing their 24 month leases at rockbottom money factors. 60 days later and a financial meltdown later, you’re looking at more attractive 36month and 48month leases for the EX35. How things change! Its not a bad idea to lease for 48 months as long as the warranty runs that long. Premium cars typically include a 48-month warranty, while the rest usually offer a 36-month warranty. As for the EX35, most people will have a hard time finding a base 2WD or 4WD model on the lots. They were rare over the summer, so chances are they will be practically non-existant now. Too bad, because they seem to lease cheaper than the Journey. As far as pricing is concerned, $1500 under wasn’t unheard of back in July, certainly not impossible now. There is $500 dealer cash so factor that into your calculations. Just for reference, the 48mo lease should be about $6 or so less per month than the 36mo.
