Hey robertw477. Yes, Florida is one of the states that this enhanced lease money factor is available in.

Do you happen to know the non tech rates for 36/12 in AZ?

Thanks Car_man
 
I'm in NJ. Wow those residuals are low. Crazy that the residual on my '06 330xi was like 63% for 36/12, and now we are in the 50%s. Are the residuals if you do the AWD tech better?

If you really want to see low residuals, check out Lexus GS 350.
I really dont think Lexus wants consumers leasing that car.

..After car shopping in South florida with these Acura dealers I can only say it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. I dont know if this is the case everywhere, but I know now why Clark Howard calls most leases fleeces. With more than about 14 yrs experience leasing cars every deal has been the right deal for me, but it is treacherous for those who do not know the ropes.
 
The few Honda dealers in South Fl I was working for another deal are frankly a pleasure to work with. Very professional, quotes in writing, etc. No hidden errors in paperwork, or pricing or things they left out. I know that the dealers HATE forums like this where we talk pricing and terms etc. Most of the salespeople dont even know abotu the cars they are selling!

Current lessees by claweave

Do they happen to have anything going on for current lessees? Are there any promotions for Indiana? I am looking at the TL Tech and without doing any haggling they offered the car at 33,966. Can I do much better on the price? I want to get the price the best possible before I say I am a current lessee and that I am not up on my lease yet, yada yada... What is the money factor and residual on this car for 36/15k per year?
 
Any help is appreciated!

Got MY TL some comments and tips by robertw477

Just got the Acura TL with tech. Got black on black. Car looks very sharp with the chrome etc. Personally I think the car has a bold distinctive look. Definitely a mans car. 36 Month Lease 12K miles. Cost 480 a month in south Fla Plus 6% tax.
 
Initial Fees first month and tax. No other bs. Transaction was smooth. I had been pretty disappointed with many of the Acura dealers I spoke to, and one trip to a dealer. This was a small dealer. Frankly who cares the size of the dealership? The largest dealer of Acura (so they claim) in south fla is also the highest priced.
 
A few comments. The TL has new models coming in sept. Somebody may find deals next month on leftover 09s in regular and tech. I think this car really shines with the tech package. Without TECH this car loses a great amount of its appeal. This is my opinion, but I really believe this. I know the car business is soft. The dealers still want to unload the 09s so they can build people in the 2010s at higher prices. The car is basically the same for 2010 I think a little more interior space. So if you want this car I suggest get an 09 before they sell out if you want this car. Customers coming in will be pushed to the TSX 2010 or the TL 2010. It is always bad pricewise to get the new ones just as they roll out. Even in a lousy car market they will get some advance sales and they will be careful to hold the line on price.

I tried negotiating with the "largest dealer" and they pretty much laughed at my offer. But because I was serious I just left and decided to continue my research.
 
Would you mind sharing these numbers please?
 
Negotiated Sale Price
Value of the car at lease end
Money Factor
 
I would really appreciate it. This will give an idea of what should I look at.

I only care about the total cost for me. Meaning sales tax aside the total payments and cost. I think others have printed money factor and sale price. I do not care about value of car at lease end. I lease because I dont care.
 
I will post some of the numbers later from my contract. If I call 10 ten dealers and talk to some real characters and all tell me 518 a month or whatever plus costs and I get the same TL TECH for 476 I dont care about how they got to that number. I know some people look at these things too hard but in the end run knowing the money factors and residuals will help you with a dealer who is trying to tell you different numbers on these items. I try and work from the phone first. I am not sitting around car dealers while managers and salespeople converge.
 
An informed shopper is not always welcomed.
