Hi radoncgs. Acura's May buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a base 2013 RDX with 12,000 miles per year are .00165 and 63%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.

Hi CarMan
 
My local dealer states that the May rate for 2013 RDX AWD with Tech is 58% and MF .00165. What source is providing the 63% residual you are seeing? I want to quote this source to my dealer. I would like to think I qualify for 'super preferred' credit.
 
Thanks

The residual that Car_man gave was for a base model...
 
Higher trim lines generally have lower percentage residuals.
 
The residual is one variable that the dealer has no control over, so it's not likely they are giving you bad information or trying to make any extra money, there.

#782 of 879 Need help with Acura 2013 RDX lease by mizzhannah

May 30, 2012 (6:05 am)

I've never leased before, so I don't know exactly what the money rate and residual rates refer to or how they affect the price I should pay. I'm looking to lease a 2013 RDX AWD w/tech package, 12,000 miles. What is the best lease deal I can get with $0 down? I saw mention on Edmunds of an incentive for May, where the dealer picks up the first month's lease. True??
 
Also, I see that lease deals vary by month. Should I wait for June 1 or will I get the best deal now?
 
Please help a newbie.

Hi mizzhannah. I am not aware of any incentive where Acura is waiving the first month's payment on the 2013 RDX.
 
Since you are new to leasing, you definitely should check out the following informative articles on the subject that are available here at Edmunds.com: 10 Steps to Leasing a New Car and Calculate Your Own Lease Payment.
 
In short, the easiest way to get a good deal on a leased vehicle is to shop around for the lowest possible selling price and then have the dealer that you decide to go with calculate your vehicle's monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.
 
Acura's June programs for the '13 RDX are exactly the same as its May program was.

just came back from some rdx shopping this past weekend. I live in Miami, Fl. here are my experiences from two dealers, and just to let you know...
 
i am 23 years old, first time purchasing car without a cosign, never had any prior knowledge of leasing (residual, money factor, etc.) lol.... my crdit is 700+
 
i read about 2 pages of leasing guides on this site so i had very little knowledge when going into dealers.. didnt about money factor, residual or any other factors. ... here are the prices i received. i thought good credit was all i needed.
 
1st dealer ... 13 RDX BASE 36m lease was asking for 2,000 down/ 460 month taxes included
 
2nd " " ..... 36m 2,500 down/ 454.00 month with taxes included.(after much haggle)
 
I didnt ask for money factor or the residual %, as i wasnt aware that these numbers determined price. the 2nd dealer i went to told me price of sticker was not negotiable since the rdx is "hot item" and has been out for 2 months..
 
in all i didnt purchase anything i felt i was gettin ripped off. wat do you guys think.

#785 of 879 a simple question by maxpower02

Jun 04, 2012 (12:00 pm)

When you calculate the lease using the lease calculator, do you use the MSRP, or the selling price of the vehicle to determine the residual value. I am interested in a 13'RDX AWD/w Tech pkg . The MSRP is, with destination. $40,315. If I negotiate a better price, say $1,500 off MSRP=$38,815, is that the number that goes into the calculation.
  
I am new to leasing, read everything about it, but am unsure which number I should use. Thank you for any help you can give me.

Hi r_rebuffo. The 2013 RDX may have only been out for a couple of months, but I would hardly call it a "hot" vehicle. I'm sure that if you give the dealer that was not willing to discount this vehicle will change their tune. I personally would pay $500 to $750 over invoice for an RDX, that's it. There's enough great vehicles out there that can be had in that range, there's no reason to pay more for an RDX.
