Too bad the current CR-V isn’t the one pictured above because the lease rates look solid. Very high residual, reasonable money factor. Discounts are about 10% here in So Cal. Inventory levels seem fairly healthy too. I smell a good deal here. Another model to look at is the Pilot. My estimates on the 4WD LX look quite good for a 2012 model. I think these leases are priced to move. I would love to get a Pilot right now so I can haul house stuff to and from Lowe’s. Also, keep an eye on financing. 0.9% is a good deal, so buying could be better than leasing if you have the cash. Check out Edmund’s Incentives page for more details.

What would the residual on a 10k per year lease be on the 2012 accord coupe EX-L v6 thanks!
0.00050 | 58% 36mo, 10k miles. Residuals for 10k miles per year are 3% higher than 15k, so if you want to go 15k, the residual drops 3% to 55%.
Where are rates for 2012, civics, hybrid , Si and insight?
