Figured this would be the right place to put this. So I have a neighbor friend who leased two Honda's 4 years ago next month. They actually went from a Mercedes GLC to this, after only 2 year of ownership. I called that being a bad idea from the get go.
Anyway, we were talking and they haven't really thought about what to do next, even though their lease is up September 19th. They have a 2019 Civic EX CVT and a 2019 Accord Touring 1.5T. Just had a peak to see how much these two vehicles are nowadays. My good gracious they have gone up. So a 2024 Civic EX is a full $7,300 more MSRP, that's not factoring in the higher destination/delivery and interest rates. The 2023 Accord Touring is a full $10,300 more MSRP! Needless to say I'm telling them the best thing financially is to buy out both from the lease and run them into the ground.
