If total out of pocket is $4k down and monthly payment is $480, this would be a good deal for $10k miles per year, so I'd be cautious of any last minute additions like taxes on the monthly payment (which can be upto $35). Acura.com advertised $2899 down and $499/month+tax (which is 535/month) for 10K miles. Every $1k down is about 30/month so this would be 3899 down and $505/month or somewhere between 500-505 monthly with $4K down. You're paying $20 less per month and getting 12k miles instead of 10k. if its legit, I would jump on it. (Let me know how you make out. I'm curious to see if my deal was that bad. I got $1799 down and 560/month for 10k miles w. 36 months 2 weeks ago)

am I missing something? by polarsand

Purchased an 09 base MDX. I negotiated the hell out of the car and got independent financing of 4.5% for 72 months. with $3500 down (covers all taxes and registration) my payment is $550/month. I can still sell the car in 3 years (or anytime I feel like it) without the hassle of a lease while paying a lease-equivalent monthly payments (based on what people are paying here). It seems that lease terms on the MDX are not very favorable today. Am I missing something? I remember the day when I picked my Pilot EX and my lease terms were $299.month with $2500 down for 36 months vs monthly payments of $450/month for 60 months if purchased with the same down payment.

Hi max_speed. If you provide us with the MSRP and the selling price of the MDX that you are leased I would be happy to use Acura's real lease program to work up a lease payment on it and give you my opinion of your deal.

Here's the revise quote after the 2nd visit...
 
$ 440/M - 35 months
 
$ 5300 Down inclusive of everything.
 
This on selling price of $ 36,900
 
Is this something I can jump?
 
Carman, I'd like your view on this one?

MDX lease in NJ by mk2

Hi Car_man,
 
I got a $551 (7% tax included) quote in NJ for a base MDX lease for 36 month, 10K miles and $0 down. I'd need to pay around $1800 in inception fees including 1st month payment, bank fee, luxury tax, registration and so on. Is this a good deal? What's the current money factor on this car?
 
Thanks

Thanks for your reply Car_man!
 
I will give you all the details of my lease contract because I feel that the dealer is trying to pull a fast one by juggling the numbers to their advantage. I must have gone over the contract at least 10 times and the numbers just don't add up.
Just a reminder, I was using equity from a trade-in in the amount of 3014 as a down payment and my only out of pocket cash was 539 for the first month payment.
 
MSRP: 41750.00
 
ITEMIZATION OF AMOUNT DUE AT LEASE SIGNING
 
A) Amount Due at Lease Signing:
Cap. Cost Reduction (Amount Paid in Cash).....................539.00
Sales Tax on Amount Paid in Cash......................................N/A
Cap. Cost Reduction (Credit for Net Trade-in Allowance)...1032.52
Sales Tax on Credit for Net Trade-in Allowance.....................N/A
Advance Monthly Payment (1st Month)..............................539.00
Initial Registration Fees...................................................298.50
Documentary Fee ...........................................................389.00
Acquisition Fee ..............................................................595.00
Tire/Supp. Title Fee.........................................................159.98
Total............................................................................3553.00
 
B) How the Amount Due at Lease Signing will be Paid:
Credit for Net Trade-in Allowance.....................................3014.00
Amount to be Paid in Cash...............................................539.00
Total.............................................................................3553.00

MONTHLY PAYMENT IS DETERMINED AS SHOWN BELOW:

 
Gross Cap Cost:............................................................ 38172.19
Cap Cost Reduction.......................................................- 1571.52
Adjusted Cap. Cost.......................................................= 36600.67
Residual Value..............................................................- 21710.00
Depreciation.................................................................= 14890.67
Rent Charge.................................................................+ 4513.32
Total of Base Payments................................................= 19403.99
Lease Payments..........................................................÷ 36
Base Monthly Payment.................................................= 539.00
Sales Tax.....................................................................+ N/A
Total Monthly Payment...............................................= 539.00
 
Here's what I can't seem to figure out...Correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like they slipped in the monthly payment twice. First they included it with other fees in the trade-in allowance credit (1032.52+539+298.50+389+595+159.98=3014) and then I paid it again out of my pocket at the cashier. In my opinion, the dealer is pocketing an extra monthly payment at my expense.
 
Is the dealer's finance guy correct in his calculations or am I losing it?
 
Note: There was no sales tax applied due to the trade-in value exceeding the total of all lease payments. The money factor used in the above is 0.00215.
 
I appreciate your input Car_man!

I think you can do better on the selling price. I got my base MDX for $35.4K incuding destination of $760. the car had no accessories.
