Replying to: kyfdx (Oct 30, 2008 4:39 pm) Since the interest rate is higher than I expected I better do more shopping or wait a bit longer for a better leasing term. Any advice on leasing the 09 TL AWD vs leasing/buying an 08 Infinity G35x AWD as inquired by Metalblaze on Posting #9853 (Acura TL prices paid & buying experience)? At 32500 plus TTL and 0.9% financing, it appears to be a good buy, does it not? |

Hey Carman, Can you let me know what the current lease deals are for November? I am interested in an 08 TL (any trim level) 10k miles 36 months, what is the current money factor, etc. Thanks

Hi Carman I am interested in a 2009 Acura TL AWD and possibly the AWD with the technology package. I have not been able to find the invoice price for these cars. When do you think they will be available? I would also appreciate finding out the Nov numbers for this car relative to money factor and residual value so I can figure out the correct monthly lease cost for the car. I live in NY(Westchester county) and would do a 36 month lease with 15K per year with zero down and the taxes included in the monthly payment. You have always been a great help in the past. This information makes negotiating with the dealers a lot easier. Could you also tell me the Nov numbers(comiong out soon) for the Audi 3.2 with the premium plus package so I can compare the cost of leasing between the two cars? Thank you again for your help. RXKE

Not an actual new lease question, but to get some help. Not knowing about these types of resources, I got fleeced on my 2005 Acura TL lease. Well the deal wasn't too bad, but I made a few mistakes. Long story short, I got a 48 month lease with first payment due at $460 a month. Living in Texas I got stuck paying interest of the full car which increased the cost slightly. The big mistake I made was getting a 12,000 month lease. I ended up changing jobs and will probably be about 12K-14K over over when the car is due. The car is also with US Bank, which from what I read is notorious for being very hard on end of lease condition. My concern is I can get hit with about $2500-$3000 when the lease is due. There really isn't any car I'm itching to get and am changing my mindset. I want to get out of the leasing two cars, so I am weighing two options. 1. Get out of the lease and by a late model used car a step down (like a Nissan Altima) for around 15,000, pay it off quickly and drive it till the wheels fall off. 2. Buy the TL and plan on driving it until the wheels fall off. I can get out of the TL for 19,000 right now or $16,400 when the lease is up. I'd purchase it through my credit union for a very competitive (4%) rate. I keep thinking that I'll have to write a big check for the end of this lease (or roll it into a note) which seems like a waste of money. So I may be better off sticking with the TL. It has a few more miles on it, but I have no doubt it will run fine for 5 more years. I'd rather have the bells and whistles of the TL for 5 years than a stripped down Altima. Does that make sense? Or would buying it be a foolish financial decision? Also, I read on the site that there can be some flexibility at the end of the lease purchase price. The value for the TL seems fairly close to market. If US Bank thinks they will get less at auction, would they be willing to move off the contract residual price. When I called about the purchase numbers today, they were quick to waive most of the fees. It seems like they were anxious to sell. |

I just leased an 09 TL with Tech. $39,500 w/splash guards, side molding ans wheel locks. 36 mo, 10K per yr, no money down for $539 per month. After visiting several dealers I finally pulled the trigger at Princeton Acura in New Jersey. Great place to work a deal. I felt I could have did a little better (I always feel this way after a large purchase), but I was tired of the numbers after a month of working it. Anybody that's done better I would like to hear.

Replying to: ezielanski (Nov 04, 2008 7:15 pm) Congrats. I hope to pull the trigger as soon as my current lease transfer goes through. I've got one local dealer at $900 over and another willing to beat when i am ready. BMW is also looking super attractive although i liked the TL over the 328
