my lease term is up in march i believe, but my question is would it be a good idea to start talking about the buyout with honda, right now or when the term gets closer to the end?? i wanna keep the car, but idk if i would have to come up with the remaining balance upfront or would i be able to have honda refinance me to keep making payments. thanks for the help azine

 

March? Definitely wait.... the value will drop, and you can negotiate with them even better... right now you will pay a higher residual value..and you don't want that.. so wait....

ElegantTypeS, should chime in soon... he is the frugal-expert, lol.

 

When I was approaching the end of my last lease, they would not budge on the buyout price. 10 days before my lease ended & after final inspection, they knocked off $1500. I bough it & sold it to my father.
