Replying to: rmse46 (Aug 24, 2006 11:21 am) as a leasing expert, what is your opinion of these lease terms, especially when compared to other vehicles. i get the sense that they are very high compared with BMW. are you still thinking about an RDX?

Replying to: bbydad (Aug 24, 2006 6:03 pm) I am a financial planner by trade and I have leased a number of vehicles over the years. The last several have been through BMW financial services. My last lease was a re-lease of a my 2001 330i. The numbers were so compelling that it made financial sense to keep the car. This car is almost 6 years old and 75K miles, I am ready for a change. FYI, anyone interested in this car, there is an awesome deal available. Anyway, the RDX lease terms are horrible compared to BMW. So far the money factor on Acura is high about a 7.03%. You need to keep in mind that with leasing your are financing 100% of the capitalized cost and paying it down to the residual value. With BMW, the money factor (interest rate) is lower and because residual is based on MSRP and most of us can purchase for less than MSRP, the leasing numbers look better. In many respects, you will be able to lease the more expensive BMW for less than the RDX. I really like the RDX but I have have a hard time paying the MSRP and money factor. My lease is not up until March, so I have time but like many of you, I have been following the development of this car for almost a year. Rick

Replying to: rmse46 (Aug 25, 2006 5:14 am) that's what I thought. the money factor looks steep. I heard that's historically been a problem with Acura -- they just don't get aggressive with their lease rates, so they lose out consistently to BMW for those who look to lease. I wonder why that is there strategy. You would think that if they truly want to compete with BMW for the sport luxury segement, they would make their leasing terms more attractive, even if it is a new model. |

Hi Car Man, I was wondering if you had residuals for a 24mo/24k lease. I am assuming the money factor would be the same. This is for the tech package. Thank you
