Honda is going to start offering a leasing program for its certified pre-owned vehicles because new car prices are just way too high at this point. The program is beingvaimed at buyers who want to keep their monthly payments low and don’t have the upfront cash for a big down payment, according to a statement from Honda.

The Japanese automaker said the program is aimed primarily at young and first-time buyers. It’s also going to make well-equipped Hondas with higher starting prices more affordable because, you know, they’re used cars. The expanded CPO lease offer makes it “simple and easy to consider and purchase a high-quality Honda,” Dan Rodriguez, Honda’s senior manager of auto remarketing, said in a statement.

Honda says its CPO sales are up 16 percent through October when compared to 2022 — making it the number two top-selling CPO brand in the U.S. Undoubtedly, this new program will boost those numbers even higher.

If I am being honest, I was a little bit skeptical of this program when I first read about it, but I played around online and found out you can lease an FK Civic Type R. That is a mighty tempting thing when you consider how much a new CTR costs. Would I rather live in a world where new cars are affordable for most people? Sure, but I do, so I suppose this is the second-best choice.
