I just stumbled upon this site by accident. I am considering a TSX or an Audi A4. Your $426 a month sounds decent. I am looking for 12k, nothing down and 36 months. I can't find any deals for the TSX but the A4 is aggressively dealing. Please tell me where you found the best deal for automatic with nav or without nav. Thank you.

I just thought I would throw this out there. I just leased a 2006 TSX without navigation. The terms are as follows:
 
36 months
12,000 miles/year
63% residual
.0027 money factor
$427.61 per month (includes tax, title, & acquisition fee)
 
This is after the fact, but does this seem in line with what others are getting?
 
Thanks.

Did you have to put any money down?

I had to put the first month's payment only ($427.61). When I turn the car in, assuming I don't go over the 12K miles per year, there would be no other "fees".
 
I was a little frustrated with the salesman because he would "play dumb" and keep going back to his manager to answer my questions about the lease. It is amazing how they can turn the numbers around to try and confuse the buyer.

New Lease Numbers by professorfrink

Hello,
 
I just got a quote from a dealership in Atlanta, GA for the following 2006 TSX AT with $0 down payment.
 
MSRP $28505
Cap Cost $27705
Residual $16532.90
Total Initial Pmt $1463.61
 
42 months, .00245 MF
$375 per month + tax
  
I haven't begun negotiation with the cap cost yet, I am planning on doing so but wanted to get an idea of where I should be at. I see from the other forum (prices paid) that people seem to be getting decent prices lately, I definitely plan on getting that much lower.... but I also wanted to make sure the MF is in line with Honda Finance. Has anyone been able to get them to waive the doc fees? Salesman gave me some line about not being able to....
 
But other than that, looks like I should be able to get it for a decent price, so I'm happy so far!

Honda Financial Lease Rates for TSX by krohrer2

CarMan:
 
Can you help me sort out the conflicting information that I am getting on Honda Financial lease rates for the TSX?
 
Looking at a non-nav TSX for 36 months; 12K miles per year. Web sources (including you in previous posts) and dealer agree on the residual (63%), but I am getting different stories on the money factor. I have read in this forums (and others) that AHFC's base MF for top tier rates(I qualify for top tier rates) is 0.00260; the dealer I am purchasing through says the best rate is 0.00310.
 
Which is correct and why won't the dealer budge from the higher MF? Since there is a substantial difference in the total lease payments over the term between the two, I'd like to sort this out before closing the deal.
 
Thanks.

Welcome shaytaan. Since you are new to the world of leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles that are available here at Edmunds.com prior to visiting any dealers: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
 
The main number that you need to focus on during your negotiations is this car's selling price. Always remember that the selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them. Take a look in the following discussion to get a feel for how much you should pay for this car right now: "Acura TSX: Prices Paid & Buying Experience". Once you have an idea, let me know. This information, as well as the MSRP of the car that you are interested in, will enable me to estimate what your lease payment should be. If I was in the market for a TSX, I personally would also take a close look at the BMW 3-Series, Audi A4, Mercedes-Benz C-Class, and Infiniti G35, all of which have more lease support available on them than the TSX does right now.

Hello hoyarenee. You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the car that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing this car's selling price in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion of this deal if you let me know what these numbers are.
 
Also, you may want to consider switching to a zero down lease rather than making a $1,700 down payment. I always advise consumers against making any sort of down payment when leasing. I do so for two main reasons. The first is if your vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen during your lease, your insurance company pays off the bank that you were leasing it through and your down payment essentially disappears. The second main reason is that down payments on leased vehicles do nothing to reduce their lease-end purchase prices. So your lease-end purchase option price for your TSX would be exactly the same, regardless of whether you had put several thousand dollars down, or had made absolutely no down payment at all.

Hi matt19hsc. It is difficult for me to say whether this is a good deal without knowing what the MSRP and selling price of this car are. I also need you to tell me how long this lease is. Let me know, and I'll tell you what I think.

Hi professorfrink. Yes, the lease money factor that you were quoted to lease this car is right in line with Honda Finance's buy rate money factor for a lease of one with a waived security deposit. That is a good thing because it means the only aspect of this deal that you have to worry about is your car's selling price. The TSX "Prices Paid" discussion, which you have already visited, is an excellent place to get an idea of how much you should pay for this model right now.
 
As far as doc fees go, store policy may prevent your salesperson from waiving your car's fee but they can easily lower your selling price by the same amount. Look at doc fees as part of your car's total price. If you feel that the total price of this car, including all of the little fees that your dealer tries to tack on is fair then don't worry about how the price breaks down. If however, the fees make the car more expensive than you should be able to buy it elsewhere try to negotiate a lower total price.
