The lease numbers that matter are the ones on your quote, so the first step is knowing which ones to compare. We sell the Prelude new, so the price a lease is built on starts from the maker’s own figures below.
Keep reading below, then schedule a test drive in Egg Harbor Township. Bringing your own numbers to the lot settles this faster than any spec sheet.
Which numbers make a Honda Prelude lease a good deal in Egg Harbor Township?
A Prelude lease is a good deal when five numbers line up: the monthly payment, the due-at-signing amount, the lease term, the annual mileage allowance and the dealer fees. Compare those five on every quote, on the same terms, before you decide. At Boardwalk Honda, we sell new Honda models including the Prelude, so you can take the same five numbers to our showroom.
The key things to compare are monthly payment, due-at-signing amount, lease term, annual mileage allowance, and dealer fees.
What is the new Honda Prelude’s starting MSRP and warranty?
The 2026 Honda Prelude starts at $42,000, the maker’s published starting MSRP for its lowest-priced trim. That price is the starting point for any lease payment. Honda covers the Prelude with a 3-year or 36,000-mile basic warranty, a 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty and a 5-year corrosion warranty with no mileage limit.
The 2026 Prelude seats 4. Legroom is 42.3 inches in row 1 and 32.0 inches in row 2, and there are 15.1 cubic feet of cargo behind row 2. The EPA certifies the base hybrid at 46 city, 41 highway and 44 combined miles per gallon.
What New Jersey taxes and fees apply to a Honda Prelude lease?
New Jersey taxes a motor vehicle lease with the same Sales Tax, which the lessee pays and the dealership collects and remits. For a lease of six months or less, or open ended, Sales Tax is due on each payment. For a lease of more than six months, Sales Tax is due on the entire lease amount at the beginning of the lease (New Jersey Division of Taxation, New Jersey Tax Guide: Motor Vehicle Purchases/Leases, 2026).
The state rate is 6.625% on the purchase price of a new or used vehicle (New Jersey Division of Taxation, Motor Vehicle Casual Sales Frequently Asked Questions, 2026). Titling is $60 for a standard vehicle with no lien. A leased new passenger automobile is registered for the length of the lease, rounded up to the next full year, and may not be registered for more than 48 months (NJMVC, Reg Fee Calc). Add those charges to the due-at-signing amount on your quote, so you compare the true cost of each offer.
Can Boardwalk Honda order a Prelude in the trim and color you want?
Yes. Boardwalk Honda offers custom factory orders for new Hondas, so a Prelude can be built to the trim and color you want rather than picked from what is on the lot. Ask for the Prelude when you call or visit, and say which trim and color you want.
How do you get a trade-in offer from Boardwalk Honda before leasing a Prelude?
Our online trade tool gives you a trade-in offer before you visit. Bring the trade-in offer to the showroom so your lease quote includes it from the start.
A customer who traded a car in at our store described the process in an August 2026 Google review. Lisa J. wrote: “Bob was amazing explain everything . Gave a good on a trade in . And explain everything. Go see Bob”
How is leasing a Honda Prelude different from financing one?
A lease pays for the part of the car’s value you use, while a loan pays for the whole car. A typical lease runs two to four years, and a typical auto loan runs 3 to 7 years (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, What should I know about leasing versus buying a car, 2023).
Most leases restrict your mileage to 10,000 to 15,000 miles per year, and they may also include fees for excessive mileage and for wear and tear at the end of the agreement (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, What should I know about leasing versus buying a car, 2023). If you drive more than your allowance, the extra miles cost you money at the end of the lease. Early termination can be expensive, so pick a term you can keep. At Boardwalk Honda, we offer Honda leases, and a secure finance application can be filled out online if you want to compare a loan.

Frequently asked questions
Should you put money down on a Honda lease?
Ask for a quote with $0 due at signing so you can see the monthly payment without an upfront cost. Compare that quote with one that includes a down payment. Then decide whether the lower upfront cost is worth it for you.
What does the due-at-signing amount on a lease include?
The due-at-signing amount is what you pay to start the lease, and it is one of the five numbers to compare on every quote. Dealer fees are part of the same comparison, so ask the dealer to list every charge before you sign.

Boardwalk Honda offers Honda leases, and the lease deals we name are for the HR-V, Odyssey, Passport and Pilot. The Prelude is sold new at our store, so ask us for a Prelude lease quote on the same terms.
How do you compare lease quotes from different Honda dealers?
Compare monthly payment, due at signing, lease term, annual mileage and fees, and put each quote on the same terms. Start by negotiating with Boardwalk Honda, and bring any competing written quote you have.
How do you apply for Honda financing online before you visit?
