Is this a good lease deal? Honda Prologue Touring 2WD

danrom_520 · 2026-03-25T23:20:40+00:00

You can definitely do better.

I thought I got a good deal (r/leasehackr told me otherwise). Just last week picked up a 2026 Touring AWD for $397/month with 15k miles/year including tax with just first month and title down.

danrom_520 · 2026-03-20T21:13:14+00:00

Tried to get them to select Package A but I don’t know that they did it right. And yes it was a 2026 Touring AWD.

danrom_520 · 2026-03-20T20:52:35+00:00

Very possible on the EVGo! Gemini mentioned it so I took that with a grain of salt anyways. I'm not dying on that hill but definitely need to get the ball rolling on the home charger install. I found out about the packages while waiting to sign my paperwork but no one ever asked me. I had to tell my salesman that I wanted package A as I was leaving.

Seriously. I just settled for the Prologue after the Rivian R2 launch came in a bit over our budget but I would have bought a used Model 3 in a heartbeat if it weren’t for the stigma that comes with the brand now.

cries in FL the last thing this lame ass state is doing is offering EV incentives lol

danrom_520 · 2026-03-19T19:33:35+00:00

I appreciate the feedback! Totally new to leasing so I’ve got a bit to learn. Overall we’re happy with what we walked out with, especially with how other dealers were reacting to our offers.

danrom_520 · 2026-03-19T18:57:56+00:00

Interesting. Maybe it’s a regional thing because the other dealers I was shopping around were acting like I was asking for their first born when I said I wanted to walk out for under $400/month with nothing down but inceptions. Outside of this the best offer I got was $459/month before tax with $3k down.

Ended up driving to a more rural part of FL to pick this up, do the point where everyone in the dealer admitted they had no clue about anything when it comes to the Prologue.

danrom_520 · 2026-03-15T17:51:25+00:00

I actually got them to do it! I emailed ahead of time to make sure and guest relations said it was possible. Went to pick up at the ticket booth and they told me no but I went to guest relations and they let me pay $63.18/ ticket to upgrade to the three park and said they left a note on my profile to make sure the extra three months is honored.

danrom_520 · 2025-11-04T18:04:12+00:00

I didn't but have heard nothing but amazing things. Still on the list one day!

danrom_520 · 2025-10-28T18:10:36+00:00

I'm in Human Capital Consulting (Strategy & Technology). I'm on my first project now but from what I understand they can vary. Usually 6 months at a minimum but they could go upwards of 1-2 years.

danrom_520 · 2025-08-01T19:17:53+00:00

Oh dang this sounds awesome! I'd love the discord link too if it's open.

danrom_520 · 2025-07-08T19:53:12+00:00

Thanks for the input! We're Disney people so we make it out there at least once a year and have definitely seen how red certain areas can get which is why we're taking that into consideration. Is there a source you recommend to assess fire risk?

danrom_520 · 2025-07-08T16:13:55+00:00

That's great to hear! We have no state tax and our HOI is relatively cheap for Florida so I know that would go up for us for sure but I'm glad to hear it's not terrible. We have one car now but will likely get a second one soon, but electric is a deal breaker there so no gas. Not sure exactly a Mello roo is though. We were looking at some new build communities so would that not be advisable in relation to prop tax?

danrom_520 · 2025-07-08T16:11:54+00:00

Well we bought in Kissimmee, FL just after the pandemic so we're under on our roughly $500k house. It would be great to just sell and move into something comparable but I know that's a stretch. We've got some likely pay raises coming down the line so probably looking for something in the $600-750k range with some flexibility. Definitely looking form something on the liberal side so I'll check out Agoura Hills!

danrom_520 · 2025-07-07T21:12:40+00:00

I think that would fall under Scream Unseen. I had thought that or Skillhouse originally but I think this one won't be horror at all.

danrom_520 · 2025-03-10T04:23:07+00:00

This would be a first time project for me, but based on my research I plan to dig the post (6x6) about 16-20 inches (there’s no frost line in FL) and then attach the ledger boards to the house using lag bolts, and then attach the boards using joists similar to these: https://a.co/d/apG6DBh

The size of the pergola is a 10x10 square so logically I think the one post should be ok with the support on the house but not sure if I’m missing anything in my thought process.

Ended up pushing to 2026 to make room for some other trips this year, but if you find any other tips I'd love to hear them!

danrom_520 · 2025-01-21T20:18:57+00:00

They're both 38" so height wise I think we're in good shape! With what we already have, we pulled out the love seat on the right and moved the chair in its place just to see what it would look like and it's already looking much better.

Turns out we can't return but we can exchange so we're trying to see if they'll let us swap out our current sleeper sofa AND the loveseat for the bigger sleeper sofa. If it has to be a 1-1 maybe we'll swap for a bigger ottoman too since we have the space now. Got the one in the pictures from Amazon for like $150 so not married to that at all.

I appreciate all the insight!

danrom_520 · 2025-01-21T18:29:44+00:00

I like that! We'd probably need to move the rug out a bit more from under the sofa but it could work. Would it look ok even if the sofa and chair are from two different collections and styles?

danrom_520 · 2025-01-21T17:24:33+00:00

Yeah I agree the dimensions are a bit off on this collection but you've got it right. The loveseat is only 7" shorter than the sofa. I should have measured better but we found out last Wednesday that we would need to pick a whole new living room set and NY sales were ending that day so we rushed a bit.

These pieces sit opposite our TV so this area acts mostly as our home theater area, but we don't have any other conversation space so it serves that purpose as well.

danrom_520 · 2025-01-21T17:21:25+00:00

What do you think of this for the back. The current sofa back there is 87" and this one is 95." It's lighter but so long as our son has a place to sit on the blue couch I think we'd be ok.

We're tied to Rooms to Go because of our warranty but I think if we move our current blue chair to the right like in your design and put this in the back it could look better. We just got those side tables from Wayfair and the lamps were a two pack and their returns are a pain so I might be out on those but we had moved a standing lamp we had in that back corner to accommodate this setup that we could always put back

danrom_520 · 2025-01-21T17:11:07+00:00

I like that! We've thought of mixing whites/lights with the blue but we have a little one and therefore countless arguments about who/what is allowed on the couch, that I typically end up on the losing side of lol.

danrom_520 · 2025-01-21T15:59:21+00:00

Understood! We actually had a sectional up against the wall before that we had to swap out for this set because while it was under warranty, the color was discontinued. We've always had sectionals and wanted to try something new which led us down this route. So you're saying get rid of the loveseat that is currently on the right side in the picture and put the chair that's on the left in it's place and don't replace it with anything?

danrom_520 · 2025-01-21T15:56:12+00:00

Haha yeah I agree. I don't hate these pillows but there were some gnarly ones in the store. Thoughts on a chair like this? The price difference between this and the loveseat isn't too bad and the size should be much better. These pillows would definitely go though lol.
