Are you happy with your HONDA LEASE?

To answer warcleric's question, yes you get nothing at the end of the lease. You just return the car. On your lease statement, it should say rental because that is what a lease really is, a long term rental agreement.

Finality, I was looking at Audi's about 4 months ago in the 30k range. For a very rough idea of what the price differences were, if I financed the car for 4 years, the payments would be around $770 a month.

If I had leased for 4 years, the payments would be just a hair under $500. Almost a saving of $300.

This is assuming no money down.

Personally I wouldn't lease and wouldn't buy new. If you are planning on leasing another car after the lease on this honda comes up you might want to consider that Manufactures are loosing big money on leases and they are getting much more expensive. The Wall Street Journal had a story about the troubles the manufactures are having with leasing, article was in the last couple of weeks, they place a residual value that was way to high at the time of the lease and are eating the difference now.
