Hi Car_Man - I was just quoted a price for a RDX at $30941. If I were to put $3000 down, what should my monthly payments be for a 36 month, 15,000 mi lease. Thanks in advance for your help.

Advertised lease deal by duaneman

I have been quoted a $449/mo. lease on an RDX w/Tech with approx. $3600 out of pocket ($1000 dn, $595 bank fee, $449 first months payment, taxes at 8%, and tags). I was told that the money factor works out to be 2% APR. My calcs tell me that this is about $34,700 selling price or approx. $550 above invoice. Can I expect better pricing, and if so what is the best way to deal? Thanks for your help.

No problem, stephlite. I always advise consumers against making down payments on leased vehicles. Those who make one risk losing it if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. If I was in your shoes I definitely would not make any down payment on this lease.

Hello larryshomework. Acura's lease program for the MDX is different in March than it was in February. You are correct, the money factor is exactly the same for models with and without the Technology Package. When calculate lease payments for consumers and say that they require no money down I mean no capitalized cost reduction. They would still have to pay their vehicle's first month's payment, a security deposit equivalent to that payment rounded up to the nearest $25 increment (unless it is waived), Honda Finance's $595 acquisition fee, and any required state taxes or fees at lease signing.

Hi gmoorman. You never mentioned the selling price or MSRP of the RDX that you are interested in leasing. These are important numbers for you as a consumer to know for two reasons. First, the selling prices of leased vehicles can be negotiated, just as if you were paying cash for them. Without knowing this truck's selling price in relation to its MSRP you don't know how much of a discount you are getting on it. The second reason is that one needs the selling price and MSRP, including the destination charge, of a vehicle to calculate its lease payment. I would be more than happy to give you my opinion on this deal if you let me know what these numbers are.

Hi bb121. As you are probably already aware, a credit score of 570 definitely is not very good. It would be in your sister's best interest to try to get her credit score in better shape before leasing a new vehicle. At the very least, she should pull a copy of her credit report and check it for mistakes. If she finds any and has them corrected that may help.
 
I believe that Honda's lowest credit tier, its "Select" tier is for consumers who have credit scores of 609 and lower. If she is approved to lease an RDX, your sister will probably have to use this credit tier's money factor to calculate her month;y payment. I do not know exactly what Honda Finance's money factor for a Select tier lease of an Acura RDX is right now, but it will probably be .00200 to .00250 higher than its best money factor for this model.
 
Vehicles' residual values are set by the bank that you are leasing through and individual dealers do not have the authority to alter them. They based upon the model, term, and mileage that you choose. Vehicles that are leased through Honda Finance for 36 months with only 12,000 miles per year have residuals that are 2% higher than its 15,000 mile per year residuals.

Hi lasher30. The money factor that you were quoted is right in line with Honda Finance's current buy rate for a "Super Preferred" tier lease of this model. That is a good thing because it means that the dealer that you are working with is not trying to mark your truck's money factor up to add additional hidden profit to your deal.
 
Now let's take a look at this truck's selling price. A 2007 Acura MDX without the Tech package has a dealer invoice price of $30,942. The price that you were quoted is just over $1,5000 over invoice. This isn't terrible, but if I was in the market for this truck and was in an area that had a couple of Acura dealers I personally would shop around a little bit to see if I could beat this price. You don't have anything to lose by trying. Make sure to stop by the following discussion to see how much other community members have paid for similar vehicles lately: "Acura RDX: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".
