#1033 of 1097 2008 RL demo by rablaw Jul 07, 2008 (7:02 am)
Dealer has a 2008 RL demo with approx 2,000 miles on it and is interested in leasing it. I was looking for a new 2008 which seems to be scarce.   What would a fair reduction in price be for the demo? I don't know what options are in it, as I have not yet seen the car.   Is it correct that demos are often good deals? Thanks.

Now that the 2009 RLs are hitting the showroom, it looks like they will be priced to move in a difficult environment. For 36 months, $1500 down (including first payment), 12,000 miles, it's looking like $599 all in with tax.

It seems Acura is anxious to get the 2009 out on the road so people can see it. Lots of favorable deals being struck on this brand new model year.   I have heard of lease payments in the $550 per month range with little or no money down.

Replying to: pds1 (Jul 17, 2008 6:11 pm) Acura in Carlsbad quoted the following for a new 2009 RL (this was NOT some loaded up with tech/CMBS/etc.. this was a BASE RL)   MSRP was like $50k   $5000 down $662/month including 7.75% tax. seemed WAY high.   i toldthem that the Acura website advertised 3600 down and $549/month + tax which wuld be about $599/month..   their "deal" was about $3600 MORE over the life of the lease. they said that was because the advertised deal was for 10k and THIS deal was for 12k.   10k --> 12k = $3600?? I walked out. Replies to this message: pds1 (Jul 28, 2008 5:49 pm)

Replying to: 23109vc (Jul 28, 2008 10:31 am) Looks like leasing is a thing of the past. They've dropped the residuals and raised the interest rates to a point where leasing is challanging to say the least.   After years of addicting the public to the painless, no money down, sign and drive programs - the car companies are suddenly worried about residual values and eating the cars that come back.   Question one....where will all those down-payments come from??
#1041 of 1097 Dilemna by jmfdone Aug 01, 2008 (5:56 pm)
Hi,   Sorry if this is not quite on topic but I am choosing between two cars and could use some advice. I am looking at certified used acuras. I have narrowed the selection down to two cars, quite different:   1) 2005 RL, loaded with NAV 39K miles. Outstanding condition (silver w. black interior) for $24880.   2) 2006 TSX also loaded w. NAV 30K miles. Again outstanding condition (black and black). price on this one $21 - 22K   Both have clean carfax reports.   The dealer is urging me to go w. the RL saying it is a much better value and that it is much more car. I feel like either deal is pretty good. Does anyone have any input as to whether it truly is a no brainer? The other thing is that the dealer is presenting me with these cars at these prices because of a major error they committed and he claims that these deals (particularly the RL) is a great deal. Finally, the TL is not in the running because he does not have any certified ones with NAV and I really want NAV.   Thanks Replies to this message: tonycd (Aug 07, 2008 8:41 pm) tayl0rd (Aug 08, 2008 9:52 am)

Replying to: jmfdone (Aug 01, 2008 5:56 pm) The dealership's "major error" may have been to not auction off the RL. To put it mildly, they're not selling well.   Seriously, I've owned neither car, but inspected both and driven the RL. "Better value" depends on your situation, because the two cars are in entirely different classes. The RL is a somewhat cramped but full-on luxury sedan, very substantial, a bit anesthetized but enormously capable. The TSX is a mainstream European (read: small) family sedan. It's a lighter, noisier and more tossable car, a European Accord but for a full load of options and an Acura logo.   If you value luxury and effortless cruising, it's the RL all the way. If "value" is measured by materials quality and feature content, the RL likewise wins in a walk.   If you're driving a lot of city miles, however, the TSX's gas mileage is a huge advantage over the RL, whose MPG nosedives down well into the teens around town. Also on the downside, the '05 was the first year for this generation of the RL and went through a lot of highly annoying quality problems, mostly with its finicky electronics. I personally would seek out an '06 or '07 instead, which seem to have been mostly debugged.   Best of luck, whatever your choice.
