Hello ericw2. According to the latest information that I have seen, if you were to lease a 2006 Acura TSX with navigation through Honda Finance right now for 24 months with 10,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00380 and 68%, respectively assuming that you qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier. As you can see, Honda Finance's 2 year money factor for this car is extremely high. If you lease it for 36 months, its factor drops to a much more reasonable .00260.

Welcome hamin. The most important number to negotiate on a leased vehicle is its selling price aka capitalized cost. Shop around and negotiate the lowest possible selling price on the car that you are interested in. Once you have found a good deal, have the dealer that you are working with calculate your car's lease payment using its buy rate money factor. Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor dor the 2006 TSX is .00260 for 36 to 39 month leases for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier and pay a security deposit. It is important to insist that this factor is used to calculate your payment because dealers are allowed to mark it up to add additional hidden back-end profit to deals.
 
Consumers are free to lease any vehicle that they want without making any sort of down payment. By down payment I mean a capitalized cost reduction, which reduced the amount that you are financing. Even on a lease with no down payment, you will still have to pay your car's first month's payment, a security deposit that is equivalent to that payment rounded up to the nearest $25 increment, Honda Finance's $595 acquisition fee, and any required state taxes or fees at lease signing. You can usually roll the acquisition fee and taxes into your car's capitalized cost so that you don't have to pay for them up front if you want. Honda Finance will waive its security deposit requirement in exchange for an increase of .00010 in your car's money factor.

Hi hamin. I would be happy to give you my opinion on the deal that you were quoted. However, in order for me to do so I really need you to provide me with this car's MSRP (with the destination charge added in). This number will show me how much of a discount you are being given and it will enable me to estimate what your lease payment should be.

Just signed a 36 month lease on a TSX w/o Navi from a Long Island dealership on March 25th. Got it for $26,500 with a passive alarm. Payments come to $360/mo with the taxes, Acq. fee, refundable Sec. dep., DMV fees and 1st month paid up front. Is this a good deal?

Lease vs. Buy by en1066

I've got a selling price of $27,052 on a Acura TSX - no navigation, no accessories. Given the current financing rate (2.9%) and my savings account (4.0%) it would seem to make sense to purchase the car and keep it for ~6 years. Leasing is attractive but I'd like to know the money factor and other details that might come into play. This would be my first lease ever and so, despite extensive research, I remain a bit fuzzy on details. If I put $2,000 down on the car my monthly lease payment would be $381 for 12K/year. Thanks for your help.

Auto TSX w/ Navi, Los Angeles by sofakingcool

amgrouchy1,
 
In response to your question regarding pricing in Los Angeles, I recently was quoted a cap. cost of 27371.92 from Santa Monica Acura for an automatic TSX with Navi. My payments would have been in the low 400s with tax for a 3yr./45000 mile lease; 1,000 due at signing.
 
Santa Monica Acura sent me an email this month that said their base price for an automatic TSX with Navi would be 27371.92 (same figure) in an effort to meet TSX sales goals for April. Keyes Acura in Van Nuys said they would beat Santa Monica's price if they could get me in the showroom.
 
Dealers in the LA area, from my experience, are willing to deal on this vehicle right now. BTW, really liked the car during my testdrive. The 4 cyl engine had enough kick for me. Navigation system is unbelievable - touch screen, voice commands that actually work, points of interest! Standard features make this car a true bargain. I only question the exterior styling. Just my 2 cents.

First, thanks to everyone on this forum for educating me on leases -although it has caused a bit of frustration when i know more than the salesperson and have had to walk out of the dealer. No one will provide the calculations and one dealer wasn't giving me credit for the trade.
 
Anyhow, am considering the following, please let me know if this is a good deal, i can't get the figures to work out so think i am missing something - am in Philadelphia, PA.
 
2006 TSX 6MT w/Navi
3 yrs/12k per year
Trade In $1,800, no money down
MSRP $30,505 inclds destination
$595 acquisition fee, tags $157.65
no security deposit, therefore MF .0027
$402/month inclds tax
 
Thanks for your help
