Coming out of a TL lease with high mileage by corbo29
Aug 17, 2009 (8:56 am)

Just wanted to get some opinions on what to do when coming out of a lease and being way over on mileage. Heres the scoop...
 
4 year lease on an 06 TL ends in Oct. I currently have 106K milage which is more than double my allowance. I believe the residual value on the car was set at around $17k when the lease ends. The car is still in good shape and I wouldnt mind buying it but do you think there is a better option instead? (are the dealers cutting any deals on these type of cars to get newer ones sold? etc...) Any thoughts are appreciated.
 
Thanks!

In orlando, quoted $3000 down, $478/mth 10,000/yr miles for 36 months. Is the lease incentive or cash rebate available in our area to bring these numbers down?

+ 19" Diamond cut wheels - $2360 + Tires - $1243 + install labor = $3800
+Front, side, rear underbody spoiler - $360, $460,$360 + install labor = $1600

I want to sign tomorrow for the following deal.
 
Selling price = $43,000 including all options
24 month 15,000 mile lease = $980 per month
36 month 15,000 mile lease = $789 per month
both would be 1st payment and doc and reg fees only

Hi, A local dealer, DCH Acura in Temecula, California, offered following lease "deal" on '09 TL Tech: Cash price $35k, with a $2,199 "Cap Reduction" for adjusted cap cost of $32.8k. $4,000 down, 36 mo lease at $399 plus tax = $435/month. Only 10k miles. Residual cost is $22,100, with a factor of 56%, with the money rate at 0.00184.
 
Sounds like a hose job to me. What do YOU think???
 
Thanks!!!

Do not do a cap cost reduction. Perfect explanation from leasecompare.com:
 
Because you pay for the use of a vehicle during a lease, you should put as little money down as possible, up front. Although putting money down can lower your lease payments (by reducing your capitalized cost) in most cases it cannot be regained in the event of early termination due to a loss.
 
For example, a customer once leased a Toyota 4Runner and put $3,000 down as a cap reduction. Five months later the vehicle was totaled in an accident. The client's insurance paid its portion of the lease payoff and Gap Insurance paid the balance. Our client walked away with only paying his insurance deductible but he did not get reimbursed for his initial down payment of $3,000. It was lost.
 
The moral of this true story is to put as little money down as possible,ideally no money down. Here are some other things to consider:
 
- Money down is taxable
- Take the money you would have put down and invest it
- Put your down payment in a savings account and use a portion each month to help make your lease payment

hello one trade.
 
a few months ago i saw a similar add at vipauto.it was for a AWD non tech for 480.00 a month with zero down. just pay taxes and fees.a friend of mine told me
i was better off leasing from honda.when u return the car back to acura they give an allowance of 1,500 either to use towards your new lease or to be used on the ware and tareof the car.
Go to curry acura in scarsdale ny.i leased a tech non awd with 10k miles a year
36 months 1,676 out of pocket.my monthly payments are 485.00.
this is the best i could do,i worked directly with a manager and did not see a sales person.my payments are a little higher than what vipauto quated you but i put less money down.remember the less money u put down the better.
the name of the sales manager is jim

Hi corbo29. Unfortunately, the only way for you to avoid having to pay a large excess mileage penalty is to purchase your car at lease-end. While individual dealers may claim to be willing to pay off some or all of your excess mileage penalty for you if you agree to purchase a new vehicle from them, in reality they do not have the ability to make this charge go away. All they would be doing would be using some of their profit from your new deal to pay your penalty off. Naturally them doing so will hamper your ability to get the best possible deal on your next vehicle.
