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.

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.

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.

You're welcome albert72. Acura's September lease program for the 2013 RDX remains unchanged in October.
I doubt that you will be able to negotiate a selling price of straight dealer invoice on a 2013 RDX, but I suppose that stranger things have happened.
Have you checked out the Lexus RX? It's a fairly similar vehicle in many respects.

#794 of 879 RDX with all wheel drive

Car man,
Can I also get the MF and residual for an all wheel drive RDX (without the NAV). Looking at 36 months and either 10k or 12k per year.
Seems like there are not a lot of the front wheel drive RDX's on the lot so I need to have a plan B.
Thank you,

Here you go albert72. Acura Financial Services' October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 RDX AWD without navigation with 12,000 miles per year are .00170 and 62%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The residual value for a lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.

#796 of 879 RDX Headlights
by albert72
Oct 24, 2012 (5:15 pm)
Car Man,
Going to need to bug you again. I did not realize that the headlights for the non-tech RDX are halogen and having HID lights really helps me at night.
So then,
can you tell me the MF and residual for the RDX on a 3 yr. 36k lease and would these #s be the same for a front and AWD? If not, if you can give me the front wheel drive with tech that would work.
Also - any guess if the numbers would become more favorable in Nov or Dec?
Lastly, can you or other readers comment on the tech package draining the battery? I thought I had heard of some people having batteries go dead if car is left for a few days without starting it up - not a good thing when leaving the car for a week at the airport.
Thanks again for all of your help.
