Thanks a lot car_man!
 
Is it typical for lessees to roll the acquisition, doc and tag fees into the capitalized amount? Washington DC charges a monthly 10% sales tax on the lease payments, so it seems like it makes better sense to pay these in cash rather than rolling them into the cost and essentially paying taxes on these fees. I think DC also charges sales tax on any cap cost reduction made, so I'm trying to figure out the optimal amount to put down, I was thinking between 1500-2000. Any suggestions?
 
I'll try to see if I can talk them out of the doc fee, we'll see how it goes! Thanks again!

Thanks Car man. Do you know the mf and residuals on both the 2012 and 2013 TSX? Looking at 10k and 15k miles. Also you mentioned to another post that there was a $1000 cash incentive? Any opinion on the better deal 2012 or 2013? Thanks for your help.

Does anyone know if the 1,000 dealer cash that is available on the 2012 TSX is available on the 2013? I cant find mention of it anywhere on the web.

0 is the optimal amount to put down. $400 per month is all you should pay for this car and at this moment in time. Once again 36 payments of $400 each. Just think about a car lease a if it is an appartment rent. Would you put any money down to reduce your monthly rent?

Absolutely gg014. Consumers roll those fees into their payments all the time. I see your point about not waiting to pay taxes on the fees.
 
You definitely should go with zero capitalized cost reduction on a lease.

Here you go movol. Acura's November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a base 2013 TSX with 15,000 miles per year are .00082 and 58% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a 2012 model are .00011 and 52%.
 
If you were to lease with only 12,000 miles per year, the residual values would be 2% higher. The 10k residual would be 3% higher.
 
There is a $1,000 cash incentive on the 2012 model, but nothing on the 2013 model.
 
You should be able to get a lower payment on a '12 than on a '13 at this point.

Hi movol. The dealer cash is only available on the 2012 model, not the 2013.

#2385 of 2437 Base 2012 TSX Automatic. Miami, FL by kchoffman

Nov 10, 2012 (4:45 pm)

I was offered a 36 month, 10k a year lease on a 2012 TSX for 339+tax
so 362.73 tax included a month. 0 down. 1200 total out of pocket "inception fees"
 
does this seem like a descent deal.
the online "special on acura website is 350 a month 0 down plus taxes titles and fees. I wish there was a source or database where people posted their leases, instead of having to haggle with these south florida dealerships.
 
Thank you!

When I lease mind in May 2012. I paid $1,287 out of pocket at signing and $295+tax for 35 months after that and got 15,000 miles a years for 36 months lease. Hopefully this help.

#2387 of 2437 Not sure ?? by jefroyster

Was quoted the following for a TSX base:
 
12,000 miles per year
$556.84 due at signing (consists of 1st payment and title/registration fees)
$392.84 monthly payment for remaining 35 payments
 
Or
 
$0 due at signing (sign and drive lease)
$404.68 monthly payment (you will only make 35 total payments)
 
TSX
Residual for 12,000 miles per year – 60% which equates to residual value of $18,843
Residual for 10,000 miles per year – 61% which equates to residual value of $18,157.05
Money factor for lease with first payment and title/registration fees due at signing - .00082
Money factor for sign and drive lease - .00072
 
If you wanted a TSX with the Technology Package, the payment would be about $60 more than a TSX without the Technology Package.
 
Quoted :
Offer Price $28,300
Wisconsin Title/Registration Fees
Title/Registration: $159.00
Other Wisconsin DMV Fees
Vehicle registration: $75.00
Title: $69.00
Security interest (lien): $10.00
Counter service fee: $5.00
Tax & Total
State Sales Tax $1,415.00
Total $29,874.00
 
Thoughts? I do expect a money factor issue as I'm still recovering from a credit hit due to a short sale of my home for a job relocation. But, that's my worry as long as the numbers are OK.
