#832 of 879 RDX ride quality by rx3304me

Feb 15, 2013 (11:18 am)

I actually got it precisely on Oct 30th of 2012.
RX350 is a couple of notches up compared to RDX in my opinion in terms of features and overall quality of ride. The RDX 2013 is a big step forward to get closer to RX350. But again RX350 is much pricier option than an RDX. I feel the room is almost similar between the two models. RDX ride quality is smooth. The mileage on my car is not that great 20 city and 22 hwy is what i get. Thats what i get on my RX350 as well. Acura advertises 23/28 but that's marketing BS in my opinion.
 
GPS in the RDX needs a lot of work - i like the GPS from RX350 much better.
Sound is very good may be in line with RX350 premium sound quality (not Mark Levinson).
 
Hope this helps.

#833 of 879 RDX Offer by danmorris

Thank in advance for you help with this.
 
I am looking to lease an RDX with technology package. The lease terms are 3 years and 15,000 miles per year. I have been offered the following "preferred deal"
 
Price: $38,760
 
Money Factor: 0.165
 
Down Payment: $2,716
 
Monthly payment: $540
 
This seems crazy high to me. Am I wrong???

Info on this page should help clear some financial stuff for you.

Your monthly payment of $540 seems a bit high. I guess there are levers you can pull - one important being Price. I'm assuming this is for a FWD with tech. So somewhere below $36000 or there around seems reasonable.
I wouldn't consider down payment larger than $4000.
As you may know already - Money factor is 0.00165 x 2400 = Interest Rate on your payments. This is something you don't have much control over during negotiations since it's preset by American Honda Finance.
 
Hope this helps.

Certainly bjunkie. Acura's February buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Acura RDX AWD without Tech with 12,000 miles per year are .00165 and 60% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
I can tell you exactly what your pre-tax payment would be for the vehicle that you're interested in if you give me its MSRP and selling price.
 
I'm not personally all that familiar with what the market is like for the RDX right now, but I don't think that the demand for it is so strong that you wouldn't be able to get an attractive selling price on one.

Hi albert72. I doubt that you will be able to get an RDX at invoice right now. I personally would shoot for $500 or so over to start and see what happens. I would think that a dealer that's in an area that has a decent level of competition might go for that.

Thanks Car Man. The RDX continues to be popular in the tri-state area. Have actually put off replacing both of our cars for several months as with Acura leases one has the option to extend the lease term two times up to a max of 12 mos.
 
Between gas prices and a slowing economy, my guess is that incentives will increase by April and if interest rates start to climb, all bets are off.
 
We shall see if any of my suppositions are true. In any event, I appreciate all of the information you patiently provide. Have a good weekend.

Thank you car man. I have struck a deal for RDX AWD no tech for $439 per month for 36 months 12,000 miles per year with $0 down; only pay sales tax, DMV and first month at closing. I think I got a pretty good deal.

You're welcome albert72. Thanks for the feedback on RDX supply. Some of that might have to do with the fact that the East Coast, particularly your area, was hit with increased demand for new vehicles after Sandy destroyed so many vehicles. I'm sure that effect is easing somewhat now, but it still might have had a lingering affect on inventory. A theory anyhow .
 
I wouldn't be surprised if we did see incentives increase in the coming months, but time will tell.

You're welcome bjunkie. $439 with nothing down does indeed sound like a good price for this model. Enjoy your new ride and thanks for taking the time to report back with a reference point for others to use in the shopping process.

car_man,
 
Do you have any other info on lease payments for a base RDX AWD (10k a year)? I am in the market right now and was quoted $476 a month on a 3 year lease. Thanks for the help!
