The deals are in the form of low-interest loans (although no 0% loans this month), a few special low-payment lease deals, and some healthy factory-to-dealer cash incentives (that usually end up being given back to customers as price discounts).

Honda’s incentives are all for 2010 model cars, except where noted, and the deals expire on July 6, 2010. All lease deals are for 36 months, 36K miles.

Before we list the current Honda deals we remind you that the lease deals listed below are all genuinely good deals. Typically, they only offer these special deals on a selected few models and styles. But if you like any of those models and styles,you can get a great deal. We also want to remind you that if you don’t understand how leasing works and how to determine if leasing is right for you, you should visit LeaseGuide.com to learn.

What is interesting about these deals is that they are offering what they call a “0-0-0-0″ deal. This means zero down payment, zero due at signing (except for local registration and tag fees), zero security fee, and zero first month’s payment.

These are 36 month leases and 12K miles allowance per year (36K miles total).

These are genuinely good lease deals, as are all Honda deals, that include a nice price (cap cost) discount, a nice low money factor (interest), and a nice high lease-end residual. Combined, these factors make for a low monthly payment. If you don’t understand how car leasing works, we strongly suggest you read the Lease Guide at LeaseGuide.com.

Here are some of the current Honda “0-0-0-0″ lease deals:

2010 Honda Accord Coupe – $280 a month

2010 Honda Accord Sedan – $250 a month

2010 Honda Crosstour – $390 a month

2010 Honda CR-V – $300 a month

2010 Honda CR-V 4WD – $310 a month

2010 Honda Civic Coupe – $210 a month

2010 Honda Civic Sedan – $190 a month

2010 Honda Element – $320 a month

2010 Honda Fit – $250 a month

2010 Honda Insight – $240 a month

2010 Honda Odyssey – $300 a month

2010 Honda Pilot – $350 a month

2010 Honda Ridgeline – $460 a month

If you are willing to make a down payment (cap cost reduction) and make your first month’s payment on these deals, you can lower your monthly payment substantially.

If you don’t understand car leasing, we strongly suggest you learn how it works and how to determine if it is right for you. We recommend that you visit LeaseGuide.com for a free car leasing guide.

These are genuinely good deals in which the lease price is set low, the lease-end residual set high, and the money factor (finance charge) set low. Combined, these factors make for a low monthly payment.

What is the catch?

There’s nearly always some catch when good lease deals are involved. In the case of Honda, the catch is that they only offer these special lease incentives on a select few cars. It’s usually only one style within each model line.

For example, for March, one of the best deals is on the 2010 Honda Civic LX 2-door coupe with automatic transmission. The deal is $169 a month lease payment, for 36 months, and a 12K miles per year (36K miles total), no security deposit, and $1699 due at signing. 

If you prefer to pay no money at signing, you can get the same deal at $210 a month.

You can a similar lease deal on the 2010 Honda Civic LX 4-door sedan for either $179 a month ($1799 due at signing) or $220 a month ($0 due at signing).

If you don’t understand car leasing, we strongly advise you to learn how it works and how to determine if it’s right for you. The best place for this information and expert advice is LeaseGuide.com.

February 2010 is no exception.

In fact, Honda is offering more deals this month than usual. Typically, they only have special leases on one style within each of its model lines. It’s usually the low-end LX versions. However, for February (until 3/1/2010) they have also added some high-end EX models as well.

Honda leases are always genuinely good deals. They not only reduce vehicle lease price, but reduce money factor (finance charge), and raise lease-end residuals. Combined, these factors add up to a low monthly payment.

All the 2010 Honda leases listed below are for 36 months and 12K annual miles (36K miles total). All require cash due at signing. The cash covers the first month’s payment as well (in most cases) a capitalized cost reduction (down payment).

If you don’t understand how car leasing works, we strongly advise you to take the time to learn. Leasing works very well for many people, but not for everyone. We recommend LeaseGuide.com for a good, easy to understand guide to car leasing. 

Here are the current Honda lease programs:

Honda Accord LX Sedan – $199/month, $2199 due at signing

Honda Accord EX 6-cyl Sedan – $269/month, $2199 due at signing

In addition to its now-traditional excellent special leases on certain models and styles (see Honda Lease Deals), three are also some good low-interest loans (unfortunately no 0% loans however) and a number of healthy factory-to-dealer cash deals. As you might know if you read this website often, factory-to-dealer cash is a “secret” rebate that dealers can use to discount prices. In most cases, the discounts can be combined with low-interest loans, whereas a direct factory-to-customer rebate would not. Furthermore, a price discount is better than a rebate in that sales tax is not due on discounts, but not so for rebates.

Currently, the 2010 Accord and 2010 Civic get special loan rates of 1.9% APR for 24/36 months and 2.9% for 48 months. The 2010 S2000 gets 3.9% APR for 24/36 months and 4.9% for 60 months.

Dealers get factory-to-dealer cash rebates for several 2009 models. As we mentioned, these rebates can, and usually do, end up as customer price discounts. The best deal is for the 2009 Ridgeline with a $3000 factory-to-dealer rebate. The 2009 Accord gets $1500. The Odyssey and Pilot get $1250. The Civic gets $750 and the CRV gets $500.

If you’ve been following, Honda always puts its special lease deals on the LX style within most of its model lines — Civic, CRV, Accord, Insight, Odyssey, and Pilot.

The good news is that the deals are always excellent leases. The bad news is that you have to want the exact model and style that is being offered in the deals.

The Honda leases are excellent deals because they have combined the three main lease factors — price, money factor (form of interest rate), and residual (lease-end value) — in way that makes for a very low monthly payment for the vehicle.  If you don’t understand car leasing and how it works, we suggest you see LeaseGuide.com.

The current Honda lease deals are all for 2010 models, LX style, 12,000 miles a year allowance, and 36 month lease term.  In each deal, an amount of money will be due at the time you lease. This amount covers a down payment, the first month’s payment, and a bank fee (lease acquisition fee). You may also have to include your state’s official tag and registration fees.

Here are some examples of the deals :

Honda Civic – $199 a month, $1999 due at lease inception

Honda Accord – $209 a month, $2799 due at lease inception

Honda CRV – $239 a month, $2499 due at lease inception

Honda Insight – $199, $2199 due at lease inception

Honda Odyssey – $299, $2999 due at lease inception

Honda Pilot – $349, $2999 due at lease inception

If you want to lease another model or style, or modify one of the above deals, make sure you understand leasing first. Our sister website, LeaseGuide.com can help.

In typical Honda fashion, there are no direct customer rebates. However there are hidden factory-to-dealer rebates on most models and styles — and low-interest loans. These rebates can, and usually are, passed along to buying and leasing customers in the form of price discounts. However the rebates cannot be combined with low-interest loan deals.

Following are some examples of current Honda deals. These are for 2009 models and the deals end on November 2, 2009.

Honda Accord – $1500 dealer rebate or 1.9% APR loan for 24/36 months, or 2.9% for 60 months. For the Accord LX sedan model, a special lease deal is available – $209 a month, 36 months, 12K mileage allowance, and $2799 due at signing. The $2799 includes first month’s payment, a down payment (cap cost reduction), and a bank fee, all of which are common for any car lease. The lease price includes the $1500 dealer rebate.

Honda CRV – $500 dealer rebate. No low-interest loans. A special lease rate is available for the CRV LX model – $239 a month, $2499 due at signing.

Honda Civic – $750 factory-to-dealer rebate. Low interest loans: 1.9% APR for 24/36 months and 2.9% for 60 months. A special lease deal is available for the LX sedan model – $199 a month, $1999 due at signing, and includes the $750 factory-to-dealer rebate.

First is the very popular Honda Civic LX 4-door sedan. This is a great car that is no longer the dull small car of Honda’s past. It’s grown up and has become one of the most respected cars of any brand, make, and model.  The current promotional lease deal is $199/month with $1399 due at signing, for 36 months, 12K miles per year. 

Next is the Honda Accord LX 4-door sedan. This vehicle, along with all Honda models, has a reputation for being one of the most reliable, safest, and stylish car you can buy. The current lease deal being offered at $199/month is the best lease deal available from anyone right now. It requires $2199 at lease inception, is for 36 month, and 12K miles annually.

The last of the special Honda leases is for the very practical crossover Honda CRV LX small SUV. The deal is $239 a month for 36 months, 12K miles per year, and $2449 due at signing. This is an incredible deal on this vehicle.

Leasing is a little different than buying with a loan, and regardless of whether you lease a Honda or any other brand, you should understand how leasing works before you dive in to it. A good online resource for educating yourself about leasing is www.LeaseGuide.com.

Leases are especially attractive to people who need to finance a car at the lowest possible monthly payment. Leases are always less expensive than a similar loan. Why? Because you pay for only part of the car’s value — the part you “use up” — and you return the car (with it’s remaining unused value) back to the lease company. It sounds like renting, but it is not.

If you don’t understand how car leasing works, you are advised to do so before you lease. Leasing is a little more complicated than buying with a loan, which makes it easier to make mistakes if you don’t know what you are doing.

Now, on with the good lease deals for June. These deals end June 30, 2009. Deals may vary by dealer and region.

Although there are some great lease deals currently being offered on high-end cars such as BMW, Mercedes, and others, we are showing you the absolute lowest cost leases now available, which tend to be on low-medium-priced cars.

Honda has a number of good leases right now. The best lease is on the Honda Civic DX-VP 1.8 sedan – $ 149 a month, 36 months, 12K annual miles, and $2699 due at signing. You can get the Civic Hybrid sedan for $199 a month, $2299 due at signing. Or the Civic LX sedan for only $199 a month, $1999 due at signing.

Honda has lease deals on a few styles of the Accord model. The Honda Accord LX sedan comes with a nice $199 a month payment, 36 months, 12K annual miles, and $2699 due at signing.

Nissan is also offering a similar deal on the Nissan Sentra FE+ 2.0 SR – $149 a month, 39 months, 12K annual miles, and $$2499 due at signing. The similar Sentra FE+ 2.0 sedan is $159 a month, with $2449 due at signing.

Mazda offers some excellent leases on the sporty MAZDA3. You can get the MAZDA3 iSport sedan (4-speed automatic transmission)  for only $169 a month, 36 months, 12K miles a year, and $2764 due at signing. The same car with 5-speed automatic transmission goes for $189 a month, and $2784 due at signing. The slightly higher cost MAZDA3 iTouring sedan has a lease deal at $196 a month, $2791 due at signing.

Remember, before you lease you should learn how leasing works. See LeaseGuide.com where you will find tips, expert advice, easy-to-understand explanations, and even a lease payment calculator.

They’ve lost so much money in the last few years due to over-estimating lease-end residuals that they can’t afford to continue.

However, foreign carmakers haven’t been hurt as badly and are taking advantage of the situation. If you’ve seen Honda’s commercials on TV they are reminding viewers that they are still leasing and have great deals.

In fact, Honda has sweetened the pot by putting some outstanding lease deals on many of their models, including the Accord, CR-V, Civic, Odyssey, and Pilot. The deals range from a low $149 a month on a Civic DX-VP sedan, to $199 a month on an Accord LX sedan, to $239 on a CR-V, to $269 on the popular Odyssey minivan, and $299 on a Honda Pilot LX SUV.   

Most of these deals require upfront cash for down payment, first month’s payment, and fees. However Honda is also offering alternative deals on all the above models that have higher monthly payments but only require upfront cash equal to a single monthly payment. Wow.

When these deals are analyzed, we find that not only have prices been reduced, but customers are also getting very good lease-end residuals and low money factors (finance rates).

If you like the car model and it’s options, and you like the payment, you just can’t go wrong with a Honda.

There are actually two different lease deals on the same car, which we’ve never seen done by Honda before.
 
Deal #1: The first lease deal is $249 a month for 36 months, 12K miles per year, and a low, low, low $249 due at lease signing (plus official state tag and registration fees of course).  This is incredible.

Deal #2: The second deal for the same car is $189 a month for 36 months, 12K miles per year, and $1999 due at lease signing, of which $1215 is down payment and the rest is first month’s payment and an acquisition fee (that is rolled into the lease on the other deal above).

These very nice lease deals on the ever-popular Honda Civic will expire on May 5, 2009. We don’t know if the deals will get any better than this.
