Current RDX Lease Deal (Thru 12/4) by wmdavis1

I've never leased before as I tend to keep vehicles for 6 to 8 years, so I don't know all the ins and outs. Without getting too technical, I was wondering if the new lease deal being offered (actually, looks like a continuation of same deal from October) is a good idea or not. With destination charge and options I would like, I'm looking at an MSRP of about $35K.

Got an e-mail from So Cal dealer - base model $399 per month for 36 months with $2699 drive off. Of course she left out any details as to how they got this number.

Duh, checked the Acura website for further info. 20 cents a mile for overage!!
 
Anyhow this is the lease deal I proposed to the dealer:
 
Here's the info I dug up: For October for 36mo/36K miles lease, the residual of a base RDX is 62% with a money factor of 0.0028. The SUV has a MSRP of $33,665 with an invoice of $30,774. The deal I'm looking for is for the capital cost to be $31,274 (with no capital cost reduction money from me). The SUV has a residual value of $20,872.30 so the monthly payment works out to be $434.95 + tax. Money due at signing is the first month's payment plus the $595 acquisition fee. If the November residuals and money factor change I'll have to update my calculations.
 
I'll let you know what the dealer says

That is typical for a Honda or Acura advertised lease.. It assumes a dealer discount of $1000 from MSRP..

The new deal has a lower residual (61% versus the old 63%). I came up with 0.00246 for the previous MF, but it's 0.00213 now (because they held other terms the same, including $399 payment, with the new lower residual).
 
It's not a super great lease deal -- I believe you can find lower interest rates by financing. The equivalent lease APR works out to 5.1% (was 5.9% in October).

Is this a decent lease deal? by klutzie

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum...and i just got a quote from my local dealer in Brooklyn for the 2007 RDX with the tech package. The MSRP is $37,435, they are giving me a lease price of $554 tax in lease for 36 months with 12k miles/year...first month and bank fee due at lease signing ($1500). They claim that the only reason they can give me this "great' of a deal because we have the MDX on lease at this time. I was wondering if this is an alright deal or should i continue shopping around?
Thanks a lot in advance for all your help!
 
p.s. The lease price for the car without the tech package with the same terms is $450...i thought that was alright.
 
thanks again

That is high. I was offered $399 down, $499 per month +tax for 12k, 36 months.
 
But that was last week when the going rate was $2000 off MSRP. Now dealers are quoting $2500 off MSRP, but I haven't noticed an increase in sales in my area. If you wait a bit, Acura will most likely sweeten the deals to move inventory.

c_hunter is correct - it's six of one vs. half dozen of another. A 61% residual with a 5.11% APR is equivalent to a 63% residual with a 5.90% APR.
 
Here are the lease offers in NJ I received via the Internet salespeople. All are for the base model with only 10k miles/year and include tax:
 
- Acura of Denville $481/month - includes $911 in inception fees
- Ryan's Open Road Acura in E. Brunswick $499/month - no other details
- Springfield Acura $472/month - no other details
- Montclair Acura no lease price, just "Pricing is set at $32,915.00 and $36,665.00 for the Tech Package"
 
These are pretty mediocre numbers. I’d wait until there’s a real lease deal
