I like the 2005 Pilot we've leased for the past 35 months, and am thinking
about extending, or re-leasing it in late January.

I know it's one of the end-of-lease options, but I haven't asked Honda about
it yet.

Anyone know how they calculate the new payments if I decide to keep it for
another 24 months..?

(Please don't suggest that I buy it. I don't want to do that.)

Rather re-re-re-lease it beyond the point that the lessor has
depreciated the asset to nada.

Yer still an idiot.

Just buy the thing, and when you're finished, sell it.

You plainly have no idea how to handle your finances.

Buying out the lease makes sense if the buyout equals or betters the trade
value of the car. If you must lease, you may get a better deal on a new one
given the deals I have seen on the Honda site.

I can never understand why anyone would lease a car unless it provides a
suitable business deduction on taxes. Personal leasing has to be an all
time act of stupidity.

But, ya gotta 'member dat most o' da masses r comprised of sheeple,
creatures that are easily led to the abyss...

If it'll answer the question of you and the nym-monkey , I'm self-
employed. I've leased since 1982, and it works for me.

Now... Does anyone have a reasonable answer to my question, or is everyone
just going to beat their chests about how ownership makes them proud..?

The answer to your question is to ing ask Honda, dimwit. How can
anyone else tell you "what your payments will be", except them?
Regardless of what the payment is, it's the worst possible solution you
could take.

> just going to beat their chests about how ownership makes them proud..?

It's not pride, it's more amazement at your stupidity.

get off your high horse. if you're self employed, you can write off
100% of your vehicle lease costs - you can't write off 100% of your
purchase costs. simple economics.

Section 179 and depreciation?

Or perhaps the asset doesn't meet the "business use" test?

I had already explained that, but you've missed it.

What part of "being self-employed and leasing since 1982 working for me" do
you fail to understand..?

"But, I can get MORE car with the SAME money!" you hear them cry.

Owning a depreciating asset because it's necessary in today's world
doesn't make me proud. It kind of pisses me off.

Leasing pisses me off more, though.

"It works for me" is the answer given by someone who has no clue, has
never looked into it, and who sticks his head in the sand with his
fingers over his ears shouting "la-la-la-la" when any information about
it starts to come his way.
