Default Need help quick ! Is this a good price ?

I am about to purchase a S2000 hopefully by Friday my question for you guys is whats the best lease deal you got or have heard of. I was quoted $375/month for 48 months with 15k miles/yr with 1500 down. This would be through american honda financing so it includes no turn in fee, gap insurance and up to
$1500 waived in damage at turn in. What do you guys think? should I still be holding out?

Damn and i still cant decide between spa yellow or a silver. How does the yellow look in the winter or a lil bit dirty

Good deal, depending on your tax rates, but that deal here in texas would be right at Invoice on the car.

thats good if you are planning on turning it in...the residual is probably high though if you are planning on buying it out at the end. I pay 405 with tax in CT - but that was with 0 down on a 48/12 through American Honda Finance.

are you really sure that you want to rent that car for 24K miles past the warranty???? tha's a long time to be hanging out in the breeze.

i did a 3/36 lease with less cap cost reduction for maybe $10 more. what's your acquisition cost???? when i went over the resids with the f&i crook, the 36's were within a couple of % of the 48s. this was about three months ago.... the 4/48's monthly payments may have a couple of dollars more than the 3/36, but i can't say for sure.

my experience, to date, has been okay with honda finance, they send the bills in a timely manner, but they just can't seem to acknowledge that I have added them to my insurance policy...

In an american car I would never put myself out like that in a lease but I believe I should be able to have trust in Honda, especially becuase i will be the first owner and know how th car will be treated, some misc. person hasnt had it before me. Also I need the extra 3k miles a year because I am goin to make this my everyday car. How much are you guys paying in 36 month leases.

Has anyone with high mileage had problems with their s2000
