Hi pds1. Acura is currently advertising the base 2009 RL at $549 per month for 36 months with $2,555 down. If you are in an area that has a decent level of competition, you should be able to do better than that by negotiating the lowest possible selling price and then having the dealer calculate your payment using Honda Finance's buy rate lease money factor of .00137 (for Super Preferred tier customers who pay a security deposit at lease signing).

Thanks for the numbers on the RL. I've been told to never put any meaningful money down on a lease transaction. In the event the car is stolen or totaled in the early months of the lease, I simply lose that down payment.
Is that correct? Isn't $2,555 too much to put down at the initiation of a lease?
thanks

You're very welcome, pds1. What you were told is correct, it definitely is not a good idea to make a large capitalized cost reduction on a lease. Consumers can lease any vehicle that they want without making a down payment. All you have to pay at lease signing are your car's first month's payment, Honda Finance's $595 acquisition fee, a security deposit equivalent to your car's monthly payment rounded up to the nearest $25 increment, and any required state taxes or fees. You can even roll the taxes and acquisition fee into your car's cap cost to make them part of the payment if you want. Also, Honda Finance will waive its security deposit requirement in exchange for a .00010 money factor increase.

The dealers in Houston are reluctant in giving out the details of MF, etc. The best 2009 RL with tech deals I am being quoted in Houston are for $669/mo, 36 mo., 10k mi/yr and $3500 down. I was also quoted $779/mo with $1000 down. These rates are too high. I'd like to lease an RL with tech but it is more than I am willing to pay.

Anyone know what the September lease situation is for a 2009 RL?
Incentives / Dealer cash? Residuals? Money factor for Tier 1 customers?
I'd be looking to do a 36 month lease at 12k.
Thanks in advance. This forum is a huge help.

Hi 1stacura. Honda Finance's September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Acura RL with 12,000 miles per year are .00119 and 53%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier and pay a security deposit at lease signing. Acura is not currently providing any cash incentives on this model.

Hi kki000. Acura paid off its dealers $4,000 dealer cash for any remaining 2008 RLs that they had left in inventory back in July. You can still lease one through Honda Finance if you can find one, but you will have to use its standard lease program. Honda Finance's October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Acura RL with 12,000 miles per year are .00270 and 47%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier and pay a security deposit at lease signing. The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease are .00270 and 46%.

btl2,
Acura's new program expires on November 3rd. For 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, the residual is 51% and the money factor is 0.00119.
Best,
Matt
