They reduce the residual by $900..
 
Residual = (50% X MSRP) - $900

went to curry acura in scarsdale. sounds like the '09 rdx is coming in soon, so they need to move the '08 models.

Destination Fee by nolealum05

Should the destination fee be included in MSRP when calculating the residual value of the vehicle? The dealer is saying no and adding this to the negotiated vehicle price along with the aquisition fee.
 
Thanks

My lease offer - 2008 RDX w/Tech by sebastian504

I called the Acura dealer here in Kansas City, and I was quoted $499 a month for a 36 month, 15k a year lease. that was based off of MSRP minus the $1500 dealer incentive. I told him I wouldn't pay any more than what invoice + destination, minus the dealer incentive. That brought my monthly payment to around 449.00/month with $300 dollars down. The only problem was that they did not have my color combination, so he is calling me back to let me know if he can do it at this price for a vehicle they would have to trade for. Any suggestions? This seems to me like a fantastic deal!

24-Month Lease of EX35 Journey RWD is CHEAPER than RDX w/Tech right now! by waltaz

I'm looking at both the RDX and EX35. The manufacturer's have the following incentives for March:
- Acura: $1500 off for a lease, and they will go off of INVOICE (don't go a penny more)
- Infiniti: Super-aggressive money factor on 24-month leases (.00025 vs. .00074 for the RDX); better residuals than Acura (63% for EX vs. 58% for RDX)
 
Factor all this in and assuming the following:
- RDX Tech MSRP is $37,410 and cap cost is $33,229 (I have to add $300 for marketing in AZ)
- EX35 Journey RWD (with Nav, Premium, Luxe Style, Roof Rails, Cargo Protector) MSRP is $41,485 and cap cost is $37,868
- 18K miles/year, reducing residual amounts by $600 (3000 miles/year x 2 years x .10/mile)
- No fees rolled in to the cap cost
- No cap cost reduction
 
The monthly payments, before tax, work out to be:
- RDX: $545.66
- EX35: $529.68
 
Umm...fricking WOW!!

First, you are comparing a AWD RDX to a FWD EX (OK you don't need AWD in AZ.) But second, the RDX has a great 3 year but not a good 2 year lease while the EX has its sweet spot at 2 years.

Yes, that looks to be the choice for me: 24-months with the EX, or 36-months with the RDX.
 
I'm am so torn...I really like both for very different reasons...

Correct, and I live in Arizona, so the EX AWD isn't needed.
