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

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.

Hi maxpower02. Vehicle's residual values are based upon a percentage of their full MSRPs, including the destination charge.
 
The selling price is used to calculate the interest portion of your lease.

#789 of 879 2013 Acura Rdx w/ Tech Lease by honprel

Hello,
 
Need some help to see if I'm getting a good deal. Was offered a 3 year lease deal of 3k down, 550/month including tax for a 2013 RDX 2WD w/ Tech package. This is for 15k miles a year. Anyone have some insight or have the same lease and what they got. much appreciated.

#790 of 879 Basic RDX Lease by albert72

Good Morning Carman,
 
We just drove a base RDX (front wheel drive and no extras) and it is now on our short list. The salesman said the then current deals on the RDX were set to expire on Sept 4th.
 
Do you happen to have the new MF and residuals - specifically, we are looking at a 36 month lease with either 10k or 12k annually.
 
I am guessing they will get more aggressive - Acura and Honda, when they release new product generally keep the price pretty high initially to gauge consumer interest.
 
Thanks and have a good weekend,

Greetings albert72. Acura's September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 base RDX with 12,000 miles per year are .00170 and 62%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.
 
The residual value for a lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.
 
I suspect as well that the RDX's lease money factors will improve as the model year progresses.

Thanks Car Man. Got delayed a bit but our first choice will be the RDX. Can you tell me if the info from your Sept 11 post is still current? I have done a cut and paste with the info you provided in that post below. I appreciate your help.
 
Base RDX with front wheel drive:
 
"Acura's September buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 base RDX with 12,000 miles per year are .00170 and 62%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.
  
Residual value for a lease with 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher. "
 
Also, any idea if it is reasonable to get the car at invoice?
 
Last question, we have no plan B yet if we cannot get the RDX at an acceptable price. Any other suggestions for an upscale SUV that is similar in size?
 
Thank you again and I will post details once we get a car.
