that seems a little shady to me. do you really think they would amend the contract if you were paying too much?

For $11? Wow, that Dealership is really desperate.
The ball is in your hands, you have a signed leased agreement, they should eat that $11.

I had a similar dealer SNAFU on my 08 TL lease this past August. Three days after the lease was executed the dealer called to tell me they needed me to execute a new lease because they had neglected to charge sales tax on the acquisition fee. They gave me a song and dance about how they would get in trouble with Honda and the state if I did not execute a new lease. They agreed to pay the sales tax and as the monthly payment was not changed, I had no problem in honoring their request.
 
You should stick to your guns on the $11.00. They can neither force you to sign a new lease or take your car away. Even if they have some legal basis to argue that the lease is not valid, they would pay far more in attorneys fees to litigate the matter than the $11 per month.
 
Your approach is correct. You should only agree to sign a new lease if the monthly payment stays the same. They can change the purchase price on the contract and should eat the loss.
 
Of course, they may not be so enthusiastic about fixing the ding or servicing other problems that might come up during your lease. Do you have another Acura dealer nearby?

Sorry Pal, I don't believe it. Unless someone else can sight a similar buying experience. Unless that "ding" is the size of a tire.

Car Man JUST leased AWD TL by rxke

The dealers are complaining that Honda is not supplying them with enough AWD TLs. Some are only getting 5 per month but have 30-50 base models in stock. Some do not even have AWD TLs available to test drive. Consequently many dealers are not discounting the car. However, if you cast your net a little farther out(metro NY/NJ) you can find dealers who are willing to deal. Now some dealers who said they would not discount are now willing to discount $1000 or more off MSRP. The deal I made was $1145 off MSRP, zero down, taxes included in monthly payment, residual 61%, money factor .0051 (0021 is for different models and not all models), 36 months, 15K per year, monthly payment $599, delivery next week. If you are willing to wait dealers will become more flexible with their pricing.
Car Man thanks for all of your help. You always make my car buying experience much easier.

yesterday I got a call in the late afternoon from a random third person from Acura. He was matter of fact that i guess we screwed up and we need to re-write the lease so that the sale price comes down to keep the payment the same. When can we get new paperwork signed?
 
I never got a returned call from the GM or the internet manager.
 
They dropped off the paperwork and will be picking the signed contract up from my home while i am at work.
 
I will have to go back to them to get the ding fixed and if the internet sales manager wants to be a jerk he's the only one that knows about it.
 
They ended up eating $740
 
funny, I called another dealer on monday night in case i needed to return this one. They told me the MF was .0211 for a base and I was pissed. I told him that the other dealer quoted me that but had upped the MF. He said he would do some digging to make sure the .0211 was for a base and tech and call me back. This was at 8:30 monday night.
 
he never called back

Hi. It was the AWD base (MSRP $38505 + destination) and not with the technology package ($3500 way to high. Invoice on that car AWD + TECH is 38812 + destination of $760 with an MSRP of $42,235 + destination). I am now hearing back from dealers who I told I already had a deal and not interested in $1000 off MSRP giving me offers of $1500 to $2000 off MSRP. The longer you can wait the better the deals will get. I know that dealers have indicated that you can get the base car (not AWD) for invoice or less because they have a load of them in stock just sitting. Good luck and have fun.

Thats what I figured because the AWD TECH is leasing in the high six hundred range- no way I am going to shell that out monthly on a TL.
