2012-13 Honda Lease Rates – December 2012

Honda lease rates carry over from November. I am expecting more aggressive sale prices this month since it’s year end so be sure to hold out for the better discounts. The lease rates are sound for most models so you should be able to get a decent deal fairly easily. Honda is known for their aggressive lease programs, so I highly recommend them to 1st time lessees.

On a personal note, the wife and I have decided to pick up a Pilot EX 4WD this month. They are a bit tough to find in Southern CA because most people don’t need 4WD cars. However, we are thinking long-term and also planning to buy it out at lease end, so it makes a lot of sense. We were cross-shopping the 2013 Pathfinder and the Dodge Durango as well, but ultimately, you get the most bang for the buck with the Pilot. However, using the Lease-To-Own model, the Durango should be the better option. Unfortunately, I cannot afford the payments. Anyway, I don’t want to highjack the Honda post with my personal quest for the next ride so expect another post from me as I go through my research and negotiation.
