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:

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 by albert72

Oct 16, 2012 (12:56 pm)

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.

I can comment on the battery. I have a 2008 RDX with Tech. In the 4 years I owned it, there were times when it was left alone for weeks. At least once we left for 2 weeks for Christmas and found it buried in the snow upon coming back. Never once there was any issue with starting it. Overall, both my wife and I love the car.

#798 of 879 2013 RDX FWD Tech package lease deal by rx3304me

Oct 27, 2012 (5:05 pm)

Hello there,
 
I walked away from the following quote from a dealer on a RDX 2013 FWD Tech package.
 
Price = $36400
Down pmnt = $5000 (includes first month lease pmnt)
Monthly = $411/mo
MF= 0.00170
Residual = 0.59
36K miles over 3 yr lease
 
Let me know if this is not the best deal or if it is then i will go back and sign it.
 
Thanks in advance.

It's no bother at all albert72. Acura's October buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 RDX Tech with 12,000 miles per year are .00170 and 59% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
It's difficult to say what this vehicle's lease program will be like in November and December, but it seems to me as though deals typically get better in the final months of the year as manufacturers attempt to hit sales targets. Of course only time will tell what Acura's programs will be like on the RDX in the coming months, but I personally wouldn't be in any hurry to pull the trigger on one in October. The current program certainly isn't anything to write home about.

Hello rx3304me. I guess that you're switching from Lexus to Acura .
 
The money factor and residual value that you were quoted on this car are right on the money. That's always a good sign.
 
Let's take a look at the selling price. The dealer invoice price of a 2013 Acura RDX FWD Tech is $36,565. The selling price that you were quoted is below invoice...which is a very good deal on a vehicle that does not currently have any cash incentives available on it.
 
Overall, this looks like an outstanding deal. The only aspect of it that I would change is the down payment. I always advise consumers to put as little money down as possible when leasing. I do so because consumers who make large down payments on leased vehicles risk losing part or all of the money that they put down if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Even though it means that your monthly payment will be higher you're better off going with a zero down lease.
