You can get 10K on a Honda lease but 99% are based on 12K or 15. The cost between 10-12K miles will very extremely small on this car. For the price they quoted him that should have been 12K anyway.

Re: Traded 2007 Ridgeline for 2010 TSX Lease, your thoughts on deal? [fastfeet] by leedgator

I'm in S FLA, my '10 TSX hasn't had any bluetooth issues, nor have I noticed much road noise except maybe slightly at high speeds/bumpy roads, but then I have driven a truck for 10+yrs so I am a bit numb to it. Nothing the radio cant fix , particularly with your Tech sound system. (I shouldve opted for tech...oh well)
 
My biggest pet peeve with the vehicle thus far is that they managed to omit 2nd row A/C vents? How?
 
I really enjoy driving the TSX, athough I do miss my Ridgelines AWD which although was tough on gas felt like it was glued to the road doing 90 in the pouring rain, not sure I will do that with FWD . I imagine your TL being a bit heavier probably felt similar and definately did if you had the AWD.

2009 TSX w/Tech Pkg by avalon2000

All should take a look at www.truecars.com wherein you can get the REAL transaction numbers of actual sales prices in your local and regional area, up to the national level. Works for vehicles upon which they have the data, which are most. I have found the REAL sales prices much lower than www.carsdirect.com, in most instances. I spoke to a few dealers about this new site, and once they saw it their jaws dropped in disgust!
 
My latest calculation for a new 2009 TSX w/Tech Pkg in NYC metro area for 36 mo./15k is:
 
Sticker: $33,070
Base: $28,750 [based upon what actually sold]
Residual: 56%
Money Factor: .00198
Sales Tax: 8.375%
Mo. Lease: $409.43 incl. sales tax
 
add upfront first month, tags, Honda fee.
 
Only thing I'd add, personally, are splash guards and wheel locks.
 
Too bad Acura no longer offers OnStar, I had it in my 2003 TL-S, currently have it in my 2007 Saab 9-7X 5.3. Absolutely terrific service, worth every penny!

The difference between a 10k & 12k lease is that the 10k lease will have a 1% higher residual. A 15k lease will have a 2% lower residual then a 12k lease.

What makes truecar any different than our own TMV? They collect info on sales prices from dealerships... So does Edmunds.
 
Since neither site is providing the method behind collecting their data or their own proprietary calculations, then how do you propose one is better than the other?
 
I will propose that Edmunds has been around a lot longer, has far more information from members and dealers, and probably generates more web traffic than truecar (by many, many multiples).
 
It's a nicely laid out website... but, that doesn't make their information accurate or better.

Not trying to denigrate Edmunds. It's just that TrueCars has the distinct number of vehicles sold within distinct price ranges, within charts & histograms, as opposed to just one average price. For example, when I know there is only one particular brand dealer in my local area, I can pinpoint what they actually sold my chosen vehicle for, with options. Regardless, the web site offers great tools in negotiating the lowest price, as opposed to just some average price.
 
The reaction the dealers have had to this new web site is one of disgust, "too much information given to the prospect" I was told. In more than one case, the info has revealed what pricing liers some dealers are to me, just plain old scum bags, wherein I know now never to step a foot in their dealerships. No wonder they are all nearly going out of business!

My 1st instinct is to agree completely and say go with TMV from Edmunds. But as somone who has only one Acura dealer at 45 miles away, and the next three at 200 miles away, a more accurate dealer or regional pricing is needed--and so I like the concept behind TrueCars... if they had more comparables. This will be the final nail in the coffin for dealers, perhaps, as far as consumer power goes. Still, for someone like me who wants the TSX, for example, I may have no choice but to go with what the closest dealer says and just pray it's in the TMV or TrueCar ballpark. I could move to NY or CA I suppose, but then I couldn't afford my house. Woe is Midwest life.

My suggestion is to significantly broaden your zip code area on Edmunds and TrueCar, and look at local, regional & national on TrueCar. Midwest? IMHO try Chicago. If attractive, could always negotiate a lease from there with faxed/emailed paperwork, then merely drive to Chicago, or if no wheels yet, just rent a local car for one way transportation, or bus, train, plane. Then take delivery and drive back home. A pain in the ass, true, but could be a BIG $SAVINGS???
 
Nationwide, the cheapest dealers tend to be in and around the Reading, PA area, as this is where most all East Coast livery companies buy their cars, typically the Lincoln Town Car, and where many fleet sales take place.

09 vs 2010? by 23109vc

do many dealers still have 09 TSX w/tech? i know lots of dealers have 2010s piled up...
 
i'm wondering if you could ge ta better deal on a leftover 09 tech or a 2010 base...
 
leasing. are there incentives on any of the TSXs now?
 
i had been looking at TL leases, but don't want to spend that much. i was figuring a TL base w/tech was going to be around 522/month with zero down. not sure how much cheaper I coudl go to get a TSX. i was thinking of getting a nicer car like a TSX and now i'm starting to get that "screw it just buy a cheap car" attitude... not cheap like a corolla..just less expensnive..like an inline 4 TSX instead of the V6 TL...

I've had offers in the 400-450 range per month with zero down from for 36 mos on the 09 TL tech from some southern cal dealers.
