Has anyone gotten a RL tech lease offer that is better than the Acura advertised RL lease deal? Please share if yes. Thanks. (no real activity in the RL lease forum)

I've now been offered $100 over invoice on 2009 RL w/tech. Let's see what happens when I step into the dealership. I'll keep you folks updated. Thanks again to everyone that responded to my questions.

Don't hurry, one of the dealer came back with invoice price. It was the one that told me a few weeks ago, they sell for MSRP.
Also watch the dealer installed options and the doc fee. (I have seen doc fees of $100 - 398). That is where some dealer make a lot of profit. In addition, look at a dealer (in certain states) that is located outside the city limits. You may safe 2% in taxes.

2009 RL Lease Offer by gator5000e

I received the following offer on a 2009 RL with tech today as I was having my 2005 RL serviced:
 
RL
MSRP: $50,660
Customer Discount $4,259
Selling Price: $46,400
Tax $2,874
Tag/Reg $350
Dealer Fee: $599
Balance due: $50,233
  
Terms
MF: .00119
Residual: 49%
Residual $: $24,823
Cap: $46,818
Payment: $745 (w/tax) with $0 down for 36 mo/12K miles
  
This was the first offer I received. I have not presented a counter. According to Costco Auto, the invoice is $45,940.98 so this offer is around $1,000 over invoice. I don't know what kind of hold back Acura is paying but with the dealer fees the profit is at least $1,600. Shouldn't these cars be going for well under invoice considering how lousy they are selling?
 
Thanks for any thoughts and Happy Holidays!

your price looks ok except don't pay the dealer fee. It's one of those hidden profits and they only tell you about the fee when you are ready to pay. Today, the last day of 2008 they should be hungry enough to wave it. Not every dealer is charging it.

Why lease? Residuals are in the tank by pds1

I bought an 09 tech for invoice and 0.9% financing. The lease payment on the 09 was $200 a month more than I paid for my 05, even though the price and interest rates were similar.
 
Residuals are screaming one thing, "we do not want to lease you a car at this particular point in time!"
 
Just as well, since I would have kept my 05 for 3 more years if I could have.
 
Beyond all that, the 2009 is a far superior product - just drive it and you'll know what I'm talking about.

Want to Buy 2008 RL Tech Package by lsemom

I want to buy a 2008 Tech Package RL, preferably new. I think there are still some of them out there. I know the 09s are updated, but think that the 08 is still a quality auto and will serve my needs. I typically keep a car until is is worn out - right now I have a 2000 RL with 150K miles on it, and it is still running fine. My problem is I can't get any dealers to give me a really good deal. I am getting quotes in the $40s for these cars and I think that is too high with the 09s already out. And it won't be too long until the 2010 models are out! Am I off base here?

I think you are right on. The 09's are being discounted by some dealers to the tune of 4500 from what I hear. You may have to wait until things get a little worse.

I own an 05 RL, basically the same as the 08 and have test driven the 09. The 09 is definitely a better car. Not enough better to entice me out of my 05, but if I had a choice between an 08 or an 09, buying the 09 would be a no-brainer for me.

I had to bargain hard with the local dealer however, I was able to purchase an 08 RL with tech for $ 42000 last Feb, i.e. 08. Sticker was around $ 52000. You probably can get them lower.
 
I live in Bay Area of Ca, and I sent emails to all the dealers in the Bay Area. Got four or five responses and all offerred about $ 42500, to about 44000. Cost out to door was just under $ 46000 but this included taxes.
 
So if my situation helps you I hope you get an excellent deal because jmo, I have an excellent vehicle.
 
Good luck to all and stay safe.
