Hi champ9533. All of the pricing data that you need is available right here at Edmunds.com. Here is a link to the new vehicle pricing section for your convenience: New Vehicle Pricing.
 
In answer to your specific question, the dealer invoice price of a 2012 Acura TSX Special Edition with an automatic transmission is $30,077, including the destination charge.

Hi Car_man, would greatly appreciate your opinion on this deal (Washington DC area)
 
2012 TSX with Tech Package, MSRP 34005, got the price down to 31,000 but then the dealer mentioned a 595 acquisition fee + 395 documentation fee + tag fees bringing these fees up to $1196. Residual of 51%, money factor of 0.00011, and with 1500 down that works out to a payment of $343 pre-tax. Is this a good deal? Is paying that much in fees typical? Have never leased before.
 
Thanks!

Hi movol. The November program is out. Acura's November buy rate lease money factor for a 36-month lease of a 2013 TSX is .00082 for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

Hi gg014. the money factor and acquisition fee that you were given look good. They're right in line with Acura's base rates for this model.
 
Let's take a look at the selling price that you are being given. The dealer invoice price of a 2012 TSX 4-cylinder with the Tech Package is $32,020. This drops to right around $31,000 once we subtract the $1,000 available dealer cash from that. That's the exact selling price that you were quoted, so you are getting a good deal. Of course, you're really at around $400 over invoice after taking the doc fee into account, but that's still pretty good.
 
I'm not surprised about all the fees. Acura charges the acquisition fee on every vehicle that it leases. The doc fee is fluff, but in the big picture you're still getting this car for a good price. Most of the other fees and taxes are government mandated.

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.

#2380 of 2437 TSX Dealer Cash by movol

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?
