Honda Graduate Program
Earning your degree is a huge milestone. So is buying a new Honda.
If you’re a recent or soon-to-be college graduate, you’re stepping into an exciting new chapter and that may include a new vehicle. To reward your hard work, Honda offers a $500 Graduate Bonus toward any new and untitled 2024 or newer Honda automobile when you finance or lease with Honda Financial Services® (HFS). See offer details for customer and vehicle eligibility toward cap cost/down payment assistance at Hardin Honda in Anaheim, serving Orange County.
To explore eligible models, start with our New Honda inventory, and review lending options through our finance department.

This program is designed to make it easier for graduates to move into reliable transportation while establishing a positive payment history. If you’re comparing a lease vs. loan, you can estimate monthly costs using our finance calculator, and if you have a current vehicle, you can check an estimated trade value on our Value Your Trade page.
