Hi af145. Acura decided to start allowing the $2,500 Honda Finance bonus cash that it is providing on the RDX to be combined with its special lease program. Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2008 Acura RDX with 15,000 miles per year are .00154 and 48%, respectively. The residual value for a lease with 12,000 miles per year would be 2% higher.

Just began RDX shopping by gooch5

I am located in NY and went to my first Acura dealer today to price a lease for a RDX tech. I currently own an 07 CRV that I'm sick of and will be trading in.
I wanted a 24month 15k mile lease. The only offer given by the dealer was $597/m!!!! and 1300 down. Is this dealer crazy or is it just me?
 
Is a 24month lease a bad move? I like to change cars often and really don't want this car for 3 years.
 
How would you go about negotiating a good price for an RDX?
 
Seriously, any advice is really appreciated.

Now is not a good time to lease an RDX, unless they still have the 2008 model. The 2009 is about $5K more expensive than 2008 since dealers would likely try for MSRP, and there are no incentives. All you are getting for the extra money is the power passenger seat!
 
Basically, without knowing any details (cap cost, money factor, residual), $597 sounds adequate. But I certainly wouldn't go for that price. Just shop around (by phone) for a month or two.
 
One point is that if you are so sick of the CRV, maybe you should try a different manufacturer instead of sticking with Honda. Just a suggestion, no offense.

Price increase RDX by sptcpa

I thought price increase was $500 for the base & $300 for tech.

I meant the "effective" price increase. I got the 2008 Tech for the cap cost of 33.5K; some people on this forum got even better deals. Good luck getting that price on the 2009.
 
I'm sure the 2009 price will drop in a couple of months -- but now is certainly not a good time to take it.

Hi gooch5. The best way to negotiate a good deal on a lease is to negotiate as low a selling price as possible and then have the dealer calculate your monthly payment using the vehicle's buy rate lease money factor. The selling prices of leased vehicles are negotiable, just as if you were paying cash for or financing them.
 
Are you interested in a 2008 or a 2009 MDX? If you want to go with a 24 month lease, you definitely should not lease an '08 model. Acura is not currently providing lease support on the '08 model and Honda Finance's standard 24 month money factor is terrible.
 
If you were to lease a base '09 RDX through Honda Finance right now for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value would be .00128 and 59%, respectively assuming that you qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier and pay a security deposit at lease signing.
 
I see that you are considering trading in your CR-V when you lease your new truck. There's nothing wrong with doing so, but it would be in your best interest to have the dealer that you are working with cut you a check for it rather than using the proceeds from it as a down payment for your lease. I always advise consumers to put at little money as possible when leasing. Those who make a large down payment risk losing part or all of it if their vehicle is totaled.

gusbuf,
 
36 months in the optimal term - 52% residual (12k miles per year) and 0.00128 money factor.
