What do I need to take advantage of the Honda Graduate Program?2

  • Proof of employment (or firm commitment from employer) - This is easy! Just ask your HR office for the form and you are good to go!
  • Have graduated in past two years or will graduate in the next six months
  • Provide Honda dealer with credit and document requirements - Use our prequalification form to get this part out of the way early.
  • No adverse credit history - And don't worry! Regardless of how high they may be, if you have been paying your student loans, they shouldn't have harmed your credit.

Are there additional benefits to participating in the Honda Grad Program?3

  • You have the option to defer your first payment for up to 90 days
  • While it may seem the opposite, having a loan that you are repaying on time will actually help you build your credit.
  • Find your dream car at a price you can afford - Between our flexible payment plans and lease offers, we can help get you into the perfect Honda of your dreams.

You have put in the time. You've passed all the tests. Celebrate the next stage of your life with a car that will get you everywhere you need to go. In style.
