Why
Lease!
Leasing is as simple as traditional financing but has several advantages.
With traditional financing, you purchase a car or truck, make a
down payment and agree to pay for the vehicle over the life of the
finance contract - plus any interest on the loan. These loan agreements
usually range between four and five years. With leasing, you pay
only the portion of the vehicle's worth that you anticipate using-
over the term of the lease - plus any lease charges. By choosing
Honda Finance Lease, you can select convenient terms from 24 through
48-months.
At the end of your Honda Finance Lease, you have three options after
you fulfill all of your lease obligations:
Return the vehicle and lease a new one, or
Purchase the vehicle at a predetermined price and
keep it, or
Return the vehicle and walk away |
Lease A Vehicle
- Features & Benefits
Honda Finance Lease provides significant advantages
over many leases that are available from other automakers, car dealers,
financing companies, credit unions and banks. Helping you understand
what you're paying for is important to us. You are provided with
a detailed, step-by-step review of the vehicles final cost, down
payment, cash or rebate amounts, and the lease charges involved
so you know how your dealership arrived at your monthly lease payment.
Honda Finance is proud to be a member of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturing
Association with members that have adopted the Full Disclosure Lease. |

Your lease end options with Honda Finance Lease
Turning in your vehicle
What is involved with a lease end vehicle inspection
Lease end wear and tear standards
As the end of your lease approaches, Honda Finance
Lease provides you with three great options:
1) Return the vehicle and lease again - Our most
popular option. It allows you to return your current vehicle, after
fulfilling your lease obligations, and drive off in a new car or
truck. For many customers, this option is one of the deciding factors
for leasing - no worries with trade-in values or hassles with selling
a used vehicle.
2) Purchase the vehicle - Your Honda Finance Lease
Agreement includes a lease end Purchase Option. This allows you
the flexibility to purchase the vehicle at a price which is determined
at the beginning of your lease. The dealer will collect any applicable
local fees (registration, license, etc.) or taxes if you exercise
this option.
3) Return the vehicle - Another option is to return
your vehicle and walk away, after you fulfill your lease end obligations.

Turn In
Approximately 120 days before your lease is scheduled to end, Honda
Finance will send you a Pre-Termination Communication; a step-by-step
outline of what to expect at lease end. With a Honda Finance Lease
you are required to return your vehicle to your originating dealer*.
Call your dealer to make an appointment prior to vehicle drop off.
When you turn in your vehicle a dealership representative or independent
vehicle inspector authorized by Honda Credit will:
• Review the overall condition of the vehicle with
you.
• Complete the Vehicle Condition Report with you and ask for your
signature on each of these documents.
• Collect any charges due for excess wear and tear and excess kilometrage.
* If you have moved, and are now residing more than
200 kilometres from your originating dealer, you may return the
vehicle to a participating Honda dealer. Be sure to contact the
respective dealer for an appointment prior to vehicle return.

Lease
A Vehicle - Wear & Tear
As your Honda Finance Lease Agreement states, Honda Finance expects
vehicles to be returned in good condition allowing for normal wear
and tear. Your lease agreement includes information regarding vehicle
wear and tear, which relates to your financial and legal responsibilities
at lease end. One of our goals at Honda Finance is to make the lease
end process simple and easy for you. Included in the Pre-Termination
Communication is a Wear and Tear Template to assist you with identifying
excess wear and tear. We have also prepared detailed wear and tear
definitions, and a few examples to help determine if your Honda Finance
Lease vehicle contains any excess wear and tear. We encourage you
to have any damage to your vehicle repaired prior to lease end to
help you avoid any excess wear and tear charges.
|
NORMAL WEAR &
TEAR
Indications of everyday use are expected and will not result in
any additional charges. Under normal driving conditions, and with
routine preventative maintenance, you will most likely not be assessed
any excess wear and tear charges.
Proper preventative maintenance includes:
• Oil changes and filters*
• Inspections of belts and hoses*
• Tire rotations*
• Regular checks of tire pressure
• Wash and wax your vehicle regularly to protect its paint and finish
*(Perform scheduled maintenance as indicated in
your Owner's Manual)
|
EXCESS
WEAR & TEAR
Excess wear and tear is the result of damage to a vehicle that does
not fall within Honda Finance guidelines.
You are also responsible for replacing any items that have been
lost or damaged. Such items include outside mirrors, wheel covers,
and antennas. Many items that are considered excess may be covered
by your insurance policy. For example, if your vehicle is in an
accident, or if your windshield is cracked, you may want to file
an insurance claim. If the damage is covered under your insurance
policy, your expenses may be covered in full or limited to your
deductible.
If excess wear and tear has been identified at the end of your lease,
or if the kilometrage on your vehicle exceeds the kilometrage allowed
in your lease, you will be responsible for paying the assessed charges.
These charges will be collected at vehicle turn-in, and can be deducted
from your security deposit. Any charges over and above your security
deposit amount will be your responsibility. Of course, if there
are no additional charges, your full security deposit will be refunded
to you.
Wearcare
|
Sherwood Honda offers WearCare to protect against the unexpected.
With WearCare, you can help ensure that the unexpected doesn't put
a dent in your wallet. Under normal driving conditions, and with
routine preventative maintenance, you will most likely not incur
excess wear and tear charges. But what about the extra vehicle bumps
and bruises beyond normal wear and tear? Honda Finance now offers
WearCare to protect against the unexpected. Honda Finance optional
WearCare program can save you up to $3,500 in excess wear and tear
charges. These charges, subject to exclusions, could result from:
• Damaged Windshields
• Parking lot dents
• Minor scratches
• Burn holes
• Carpet stains
• Stone chips
• Tire wear
Or any other damage that exceeds Honda Finance standards for normal
wear and tear and is not covered by your insurance company.
See your sales consultant for additional information
about the WearCare Program. |
