What are the lease payments?
When does the lease end?
Can you sell it now and buy a used Honda Odyssey?
My neighbor bought a used one for 8k and I have driven it.
I can understand why you like it plus you can fit so much into it.
He used as a side gig as a video production company.
It is so tough to answer (I know nothing about leasing).
Good luck
Payments are $412

I could sell it but would have to eat the difference and I'd rather just eat that and keep it.
We should have bought a used one to begin with, I'm an idiot.
I've used this one to haul all sorts of stuff. Seats are easy to take out and loads of room once they are. But that's a minivan in general, could have gotten a much cheaper one.
If you pre-pay your lease, then (God forbid) the van is totaled at some point before the end of the lease, do you get money back? What's the benefit to paying ahead?
That's a great question, but I think I can cover that (if lease doesn't) with my own gap insurance. Lease have built in gap coverage.
Paying it ahead means I'm left with the residual end of lease value which will be closer to what the car is worth now then if I wait for the full term. The other reason is I could get rid of that amount for the lease and then selling the car would be easier giving us another option (although we do want to keep it).
