Sorry to hear about the damage to your old car, hostage46. I hope you at least saw the vehicle that the big piece of metal fell off of and held them accountable. Since you are not familiar with how lease payments are calculated, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment. I would be happy to give you an idea of what the car that you are interested in should cost to lease, but in order for me to do so I need some additional informaiton from you first. This info includes whether you want your car equipped with navigation, how long you want to lease it for, how many miles per year you need to be able to drive it, its full MSRP (with the destination charge added in), and an approximate selling price.

Hello sks109. Always remember that the selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. If the Acura TL lease that you were quoted is based upon a high selling price, its lease payment is not going to be very good. This is a relatively expensive car to lease even if you are getting it for a good price because TLs sell well enough on their own that Acura does not have to provide any sort of lease support on them.

Hey ozzynyc. You were quoted an excellent selling price for the TL that you are interested in. I looks as though it is probably very close to dealer invoice. Furthermore, the dealer that you are working with does not seem to be marking up your car's money factor any. This is also a good thing. Using the numbers that you provided, I come up with a zero down, pre-tax monthly lease payment of around $405. If you like the car, I don't see any reason not to pull the trigger on this deal.

| I have owned one car in the past, financed it for five years and paid it off. I am not trading my car in, I am giving it to my younger brother. I live in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area. I want to lease a 2005 TL with the navigation system. I don't have a lot of out of pocket money to put towards it. I have NEVER negotiated a lease before. I have learned a lot from the forums here, but would really appreciate any advice this forum could offer. I want to keep my lease payment as close to the $400 a month mark as possible. I am going in next weekend 9/24/05 to lease the car as I heard the end of the month is the best time to lease as sales people are more likely to deal since it’s the end of the month. One other factor is that my credit score is about a 658 (student loans from law school will do that!) I am not sure what effect that will have on the lease. I want to thank anyone who responds for taking the time to help out a first time leasor out. | |

Replying to: Car_man (Sep 15, 2005 2:07 am) This car is 1000 times better than Murano in pretty much everythiing EXCEPT for the trunk space LOL.... I accidently sat in RL when i walked in the dealership and was glued to the gorgeous interior of that model. I have a 2003 TL now, and once sat in 2005 TL didn't have a WOW factor, but i think it's a great car...One thing that concerns me is the torque steering issue that some people have and some don't....I wonder if it's based on a certain production release, maybe there is a VIN category to avoid? Any info is appreciated... Thanks!

Replying to: Car_man (Sep 15, 2005 2:07 am) They want $595 bank fee (+ TAX, there is tax on bank fee???), first payment up front and the motor vehicle fee of about $90 to transfer the plates or $171 for new plates...Is this reasonable with $405 + tax a month for remaining 41 months plus these fees? Thanks!! |

When will the 2006 lease residual be available for the 2006 TL? I plan to lease a TL by Nov 1st when my current TL 2002 TL lease is up. (wife wants a new car every 4 years) I got a screaming deal back them and I hope to get a new TL close to invoice again. I remember the dealer giving me a new '02 TL in the fall of "01 because the residuals and better on newer cars. Has anyone compared the lease pricing from an internet fleet leasing company that delivers to your door vs a dealer? I Google this and it brought up several car leasing companies. I was wondering if anyone has used any of these? My dealer has already called me and asked me to come in and pick out another TL. I asked them since my 2002 TL type S is within a few hundred bucks MSRP of the new 06 TL non navi as well as the almost same invoice if I could get the same deal. They told me to come and and we will see. My current payment is $400 total. Troy |

Replying to: Car_man (Sep 15, 2005 2:07 am) 2005 Acura TL with 6 speed and Nav 2005 Acura RL I drove both and loved 'em. The TL was sportier but the RL has AWD which is important here in Massachusetts. I got a high lease quote on both as the opening shot from the salesman. However, I stopped by a second dealer and the numbers for the two cars, while both still a little high, were coming closer together. The salesman seemed to imply that the RL would be close to the TL because of the $2,500 that Acura has in place right now for the RL. The dealer quoted me $637 for the RL (36 months nothing down but the first months payments and the fees) and $545 for the TL. I think he cranked the number up on the TL because he wants me to take the RL. How do these numbers look for a quote in Massachusetts? Shouldnt the TL be closer to $400+ per month? How about the RL. Any help you can provide would be appreciated; I've never leased before, but a colleague told me it's the way to go, as I like to get new cars every 3-4 years. Thanks, |
