Acura TSX Lease Questions

mikekisss

Hi,

Can someone please help me do some calculations for a 2014 Acura TSX. The cap cost of the vehicle is $27,127 (MSRP $31,530) including dealer destination, not including title and license fee. The money factor is 0.00111 and the residual is 60% ($18,918) for 3yr/36k mile lease. The dealer is telling me my monthly payment would be $316 incl. tax (CA= 9%) a month with $1000 down. My calculations show $304.25 with $0 down. Am i missing something? Thanks

Your calculations are correct for the figures provided. It's probably just a miscommunication between you and the dealer over terms.

When the dealer says "$1000 down", is that a CAP cost reduction? Or, is $1000 the total amount due at signing? Is $27,127 the actual CAP cost he is using to calculate the lease? Or, is it the selling price, to which the acquisition fee will have to be added?

If you get them break it down, it should be easy to see where the disconnect is.

Here is their national offer:

36 month, 10K/yr.

2014 TSX 5 Speed Automatic Special Edition Featured Special Lease

$0 Due at Lease Signing

$0 down payment

$0 security deposit

$0 first month's payment

$0 due at lease signing

Excludes taxes, titles and fees.

$340 a month for 35 months thereafter

You might be able to muster $20/mo. less than that, at the end of the month.

I leased a 2013 tsx no tech package back in October for 300 a month 15k a year 2000 down. My commute is 60 miles per day so needed the extra miles. Can anyone share their thoughts and advise if it's a good deal. It is my first time leasing and love the car but wonder if I could have done better. Lease is for 36 months.

Not sure that anybody's opinion will matter at this point - you've had the car for 6 months now.

I am concerned that you may go over the lease mileage in 36 months. 300 miles per week for 50 weeks is 15k. Doesn't allow for any other miles.

My lease will be up at the end of July. I am unsure if I should lease my next TSX or buy it since I heard they will be doing away with the TSX. I love the TSX but I like to lease the car since I like to turn my car in at the end of 3 years and get a new car. However I am worried that if I do not like the TLX I will want to keep the TSX. Does anyone know how it will affect the TSX car value if it is no longer being made?

I'm not sure I understand your question - the residual value of your current TSX is set. When your lease is up, you can either return it or buy it out for that set value.

The introduction of the TLX won't impact any of the above. It may, however, cause the value of your car to decline more rapidly after you've decided to buy it.

If anybody needs a good salesman in South Florida let me know, I bought my last 3 cars with him, and always beats the numbers I bring him, great guy to deal with.

You didn't specify the lease term, so I'll assume 3 years.

.00079 and 49%.

$1500 lease cash.

Correct, 3 years. Thank you Michael. The residuals on the outgoing TSX and TL are terrible, even with the incentives and relatively lower MF.

I think the residuals on the 4-cylinder TSX are a bit better, but by no means great.

Add 2% to the residual for 12K. 49% is the July residual for 36/15. .00079 is the MF as of 7/8/14.

A reporter is hoping to interview someone who leased a new car or truck in the past four months. Please email [email protected] by July 11, 2014 to share your story.
