I'm sure this topic has been beaten to death but I am interested in leasing an S2000 at the end of the year and was wondering if it was possible for me to get into the car with no money down, 12K a yr, 39months, and have my payments be around $500-$550. Any and all opinions would be appreciated.

 

You should be able to do that very easy,should be 450.

 

Should be ALOT less than that. This car has an INCREDIBLY high value retention and thus the lease rates are very friendly for this car. Check the American Honda website and do a calculation on their lease calculator. You should be able to get very close to what it says on their site.

 

that should be no problem if you have a good enough credit score and the dealer gives you the lowest lease rate/factor. i was offered 3K down, 15K/yr, 36 mo's on approx $34.5K price for $490/mo.

 

I just leased a 2001. When I was looking at lease terms, a 36mo/36K lease with 0 down would be 500/mo with a residual of 20,500. If you are willing to pay that, than I would look into buying one and financing it for 72 mo. The payments would be about the same and you would own the car.

 

Thanks a lot I guys, I appreciate the feedback and hopefully by the end of the year will be enjoying my S2000 along with the rest of you.

 

when I looked at lease vs buy almost exactly a year ago (rates likely even better now), was offered 39 mos, for 1500 down and $460 / mo.
