1violinist - my RL price by scottjohnson

I think the broker is just used to dealing with the fleet managers and so was able to get the price. I was actually surprised that the car came from a nearby dealer because the broker said for Acuras they often go to California where dealers are more willing to negotiate.
 
I chose the carbon gray with ebony interior. I wish I could have seen the opulent blue but I really did like the carbon gray.

I think you're absolutely right about California Acura dealerships more willing to negotiate. My deal of $48,500 that included destination, wood steering wheel, wood gearshift knob, rear deck spoiler, trunk tray and protection package (mud guards) still seems to be the best deal out there. Surprisingly, after I had made my purchase, I had three other SoCal dealers calling me stating they would match the offer I got. I would highly recommend working with the fleet managers or internet managers to negotiate the best deals.

Does anyone own a Lakeshore Silver RL? If so, how is it for showing dirt (normal everyday stuff)?
 
Thanks.

Just picked up my Lakeshore Silver RL (taupe interior) Tuesday. Drove to Detroit that day for the Design Forum at the Auto Show. Rainy weather the whole trip and around Detroit on Wed. Back to Ohio Thursday. It still looks great. It is an awesome color -- clean or "dirty." In fact, it is an awesome car. Much to learn, but shared the driving with two other "car guys" who were equally impressed.
 
BTW, has anyone had success getting the factory 18" wheels at cost and then fitting with them with other tires? Even though the wheels and tires are priced separately, my dealer seems to want to sell them together.....at list. Doesn't make sense to me. I think I'll get it done, but I don't know why he's reluctant. Any insight?

It is difficult to get a good price in NJ; I tried two NJ dealerships and got nowhere. Acting on the advice of kacurat, I emailed to Paragon Acura in NY and got quick response. The price is $47500. I also asked for the leasing options and talked a very friendly person over the telephone. Here are leasing terms:
1) With $4000 down (everything included in the 1st month)
   $685 a month for 36 months (35 more payments)
   $637 a month for 48 months (47 more payments)
2) With $8000 down (everything included)
   $560 a month for 36 months (35 more payments)
   $543 a month for 48 months (47 more payments)
3) With $10000 down (everything included)
   $499 a month for 36 months (35 more payments)
   $494 a month for 48 months (47 more payments)
 
The residual value is $28197 for the 36 month lease and $23250 for 48 months. I was told the interest rate is 5%.
 
So the monthly lease price is not $900 plus as quoted by other people in this forum. Would you please comment on the leasing terms?
 
I am still thinking whether to buy or lease this car, or just buy an 05 Accord to save quite a bit of change.

The Accord is a nice car, but it is hardly the same as driving an RL. If it really doesn't make any difference to you, then you should by all means buy the Accord! You really shouldn't be looking at luxury cars.

Hello,
I don’t post too much on here as I am just a lurker, but am considering a RL myself. I have leased my last 3 vehicles and it seems these amounts are very high. The 36mo residual % is 57% and 47% from what you stated which is in the ballpark, but the payments don’t compute right in my opinion regarding the big cap cost reduction you mention(4k,8k,10k) and the 5% rate you mention
 
I am in Indiana and we pay tax of 6% on the calculated monthly payment, BUT I am excluding that from my numbers. Ie, the payment per month below is cost of depreciation per month + financing charge $ per month = total montly payment before, at least in IN, the taxes are added to the monthly payment.
 
I ran the numbers at 36mo and 48mo using the above residual % with NO cap cost reduction and .00208 money factor(5.0%). I started with 47,500 as the Gross cap cost and I get depreciation per month payment of 536.17 for 36mo and 505.19 for 48mo and the financing cost per month of 157.45 for 36mo and 147.16 per mo. When adding the to get total per month I get 693.62 and 652.35. This is if I just went in and did the deal at 47,500 with NO $ paid down. If I pay (4k,8k or 10k) cap cost reduction these payments would be even less.
 
Maybe I am comparing apples and oranges as I don’t know how taxes are done in NJ or I am missing some of the info, but I feel this payments are high. By the way on my last three vehicles I have leased I have been able to come home after getting a good deal and emulate the lease calculation in excel down the the penny so I feel like I am calculating this correctly from all the info I have on the surface. I am invested in this as I am in the market for a new RL and to get the best possible lease price I can.
 
Hope that helps and I apologize in advance if I missed some of the info regarding these numbers.
 
Doug.
