Honda

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.

Land Rover

This is a great way to be able to drive a Land Rover luxury vehicle but, unless you understand how car leasing works, we advise taking the time to learn before you decide to go with one of these deals.

Leasing works well for many people, but not for others. See LeaseGuide.com for car leasing advice and information.

Here are the current special lease incentives from Land Rover. All are for 2010 models, 36 month lease term, and 10K miles per year (30K miles total).

Land Rover Range Rover – $1535 a month, $5995 due at signing

Land Rover Range Rover Sport – $1099 a month, $3995 due at signing
