Did they rip me off for my Honda Civic 2015 lease?

I leaded a Honda Civic LX 2015 in Orange County and I paid 2000 down payment + 260 monthly for 36 months!
They said it is a bit expensive because I'm a first time buyer. My credit score is 685. Did they rip me off?

What difference does it make? You already signed the paperwork. Next time do some research before you sign on the dotted line.

Suggestion: Never pay more for something than you are comfortable paying. You can always walk away.

I don't see a problem with that considering your credit score. You think maybe you should've been concerned with being "ripped off" before you signed the deal?

Yes, just by getting a lease, you were ripped off - leasing a vehicle doesn't make sense unless you are a small business or a high paid executive and can WRITE OFF the expense of the payments on your taxes. Most other leases are a rip off and waste of money. Of course, buyer's remorse doesn't enter the picture, and there's no backing out of the deal without a serious penalty both financially and to your credit score.

Your credit is a bit low. Anyway, lease is not the best thing to do either.

What is a good monthly lease payment for new 2015 Honda CRV exl AWD-- 36 month lease/12k miles? thanks for the reply… My credit score is excellent. I referred to monthly payment since its my first time leasing and I not familiar with terms like money factor and residual. I simply look at the down payment and the monthly payment that I have to make per month.

  • My car insurance is trying to rip me off? So I got into an accident before thanksgiving. A man did a 360 on the highway after losing control of his car. He then hit me, and now my 2009 Honda Civic is totaled. He's clearly at fault. Problem is my insurance is trying to pay only $11000 (this includes sales tax) to my 12K car loan. Leaving me with nothing. What can I do now?
