Hi ummyahya03. You definitely do not want to make a $6,000 down payment on a leased vehicle. That's a lot of money and if your vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered during the course of your lease it is very possible that it would just disappear. It's always much safer to go with a zero down lease. You can still trade in your current vehicle when you get your new one, bust have the dealer cut you a check for any equity that you have in it rather than using the proceeds from your deal as a down payment.

Hello. I am looking for the current MF and residual for April on base RDX with 10K/year. If there are numbers for FWD option I'd appreciate it much. If anybody leased RDX in New York, can you please share your deals and dealerships.
Thanks for the help everyone. I purchased yesterday a 2013 rdx awd tech with protection pkg 1 and remote start for total price of $41,536. Not sure if it was a good deal or not but it's done now and I LOVE my new car ;-)
I want to lease a 2013 RDX AWD Base in NJ. Acura doesn't publish a lease offer on that model - their published offer is only for the FWD. I think I can get a 36-month lease for $429/month with $1999 down and 12,000 miles.
Do you think I can improve on that? The Edmund's lease calculator gives me a much higher payment. Thanks! this is a great forum.
Hi glorik. Acura's April buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 RDX base with 10,000 miles per year are .00136 and 58% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

Hey ummyahya03. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2013 Acura RDX AWD Tech that has an MSRP of $40,315 and a selling price of $37,860 through Acura right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $518 for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.

I just got a lease in a 2013 RDX AWD base model for $430 monthly for 36 months and 12,000 miles annualy. Zero money down and a 2001 Subaru Forester 2001 (valued by the dealer @ $2,500). What do you think? did I get a good deal?
Car man: Can you post the money factor and residual for a 2014 RDX, both Base and Tech, 36 mos, 15k miles, as well as the same numbers for a 2013 model.
Here's the information that you're looking for ewassel. Acura's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2014 RDX Base with 15,000 miles per year are .00150 and 61% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a '14 RDX Tech are .00150 and 58%.
The numbers for the '13 RDX are .00119 and 57%.
The numbers for the '13 RDX Tech are .00119 and 54%.
There is a $750 cash incentive on leases of the '13 model, but no cash on the '14 model.

I am new to this and want to make sure I understand the calculations. This is from the Acura website: 2013 RDX 6 Speed Automatic with Technology Package Featured Special Lease $419 per month for 36 months. $2499 total due at signing.
Includes down payment with no security deposit. Excludes taxes, titles and fees. For well-qualified lessees.
Closed-end lease for 2013 RDX 6 Speed Automatic with Technology Package vehicles (TB3H5DKNW) available from May 22, 2013 through July 8, 2013, available to customers who qualify for the Acura Financial Services Super Preferred or Preferred credit tier. Not all lessees will qualify. Higher lease rates apply for lessees with lower credit ratings. MSRP $38,915.00 (includes destination, excludes tax, license, title fees, registration, documentation fees, options, insurance and the like). Actual net capitalized cost $34,823.23. Net capitalized cost includes $595 acquisition fee. Dealer contribution may vary and could affect actual lease payment. Total monthly payments $15,084.00. Option to purchase at lease end $22,181.55. Must take new retail delivery on vehicle from dealer stock by July 8, 2013. Lessee responsible for maintenance, excessive wear/tear and 15¢/mile over 10,000 miles/year for vehicles with MSRP less than $30,000, and 20¢/mile over 10,000 miles/year for vehicles with MSRP of $30,000 or more. See your Acura dealer for complete details.
Based on this information, am I correct in assuming the residual is 57% ($22,181.55) and cap reduction of $4091.77 with a selling price of $34,823.23? If so, I am getting a money factor of .003430. That's pretty far off from your numbers CarMan. Any thoughts?
Hi, CarMan: I was offered pre-tax $432/mo for 2014 RDX AWD, $0 down, 10,000 mile/year, 36 month lease, is it a good deal? The dealer told me 0.0015% MF, 60% Residual, stick price is $35,920. Thank you.
I just got an email with a very good offer on a purchase, but lease terms don't seem too much better. Is it possible to convert good offers on purchase to a lease? Is there another option to take advantage of a good deal if you want to lease? 3rd party leasing maybe? Any particular financing companies better than any others for that?
Hi tiger76. The money factor that you were quoted is spot on. The residual value looks good too.
Using these numbers, an MSRP of $36,815 and a selling price of $35,920, I estimate that this vehicle would have a 36-month, 10,000 mile per year, zero down, pre-tax monthly payment of around $472.
Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
Hi dealhunter3. There's no reason that you shouldn't be able to get the dealer to use the selling price that they quoted you to purchase the RDX that you are interested in as the capitalized cost for your lease. See if they would be willing to do that.

I was given this deal on a base model 2014 RDX Front Wheel Drive:
$33500 $0 Down $0 Drive Off 35 months/10K year They didn't give me the money factor 64% residual (that is what they said, but i didn't catch the actual residual value)
monthly payment: $444.32 including tax (9%)
I'm returning an RDX lease with 1 month on it and they are giving me trade in of $1200 which covers the last payment ($476.00) along with all of the drive off fees.
MSRP= 36815 Negotiated Price = 31590 no down, RF = 60% 36 months, 12000 miles/ yr Annual Rate 3.6% or MF .0015
Signing due at bank fee 650 + registration 350 + first month payment 375+ others 150 = 1525. monthly payment including NY tax (8.875%) is 375 every month.
Hi Carman- I am considering turning in my 2011 Acura RDX turbo (34k miles) for a 2014 AWD no tech. The residual value, which I understand is non negotiable, s 23,193. Do I also figure in trade-in value on my current Acura? They also quoted me GRS CAP COST of $35811 - and Net Cap Cost of 35799.41 not sure I understand these numbers and want to make sure that the actual sale price of the car is fair. Right now with the dealers numbers the monthly lease is $478.14 and from reading all of the forum posts I am confident the number should be in the high 3's or low 4's. I am using the edmunds car least calculator. Thanks.
Kevinkk123 your deal looks like a good deal with the correct residual as well as MF. I am interested in this same deal but would even go with a 61% RF at 10k miles.
Can you please confirm what model RDX you are purchasing as it's MSRP does not seem to fall in line with any of the four RDX models.
Can you please share your dealer details out of NY?
I will use this information to try to secure a similar deal.
Hi CarMan and everyone with more experience than me,
I'm looking to lease (for the first time) a 2014 RDX very soon, granted the price is right. When you get a chance, can you please let me know what you think of the quote below? There doesn't seem to be any incentives from Acura that we qualify for at this time and I'm wondering if I should go ahead with the deal, negotiate more, or hold off and wait for an incentive.
2014 RDX AWD, with Tech Package and Remote Engine Start 10,000 miles per year Lease Term: 36 mos. MSRP: $40,914 Negotiated Price: $38,350 Money Factor: 0.0015 Residual: 61% Wisconsin tax: 5.5% $0 Down
$1450 due at signing which includes 1st month, title, registration, acquisition fees. $518 monthly payment (including tax) thereafter for 35 months Monthly payment = $493.50 pre-tax
What do you think? Your advice will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
unfortunately, the deal expired already. I didn't get the deal due to a personal issue. I don't have the dealership name because I got it from my friend, who is like an independent agent has contracts with different dealerships. I can't even get the similar deal now. The latest quote I received from Auto Plaza Mall is 434 including tax as monthly payment, with 3.6% interest rate, 61% residual value, 10k miles.
Those numbers don't quite work out for me. Based on your info, I'm calculating a monthly pymt of $311. Did you add some accessories that you didn't mention? The $14 mo difference would equate to about another $500 in cost.
I cannot find the money factor on the current lease offer from Acura for the RDX AWD with Tech that expires on 9/3/2013. Anyone know it?
When I run the calc on the Acura website it shows a 685.85 a month for lease amount of 40,515, 12k mi, and 36 mths. My dealer told me the money factor is .0014 but this seems like a high monthly payment for that money factor. When I back into the money factor based on these numbers I come up with a money factor = .00331. What am I missing?
Yep got it, thanks. I was trying to verify what the dealer told me that the current Acura money factor is correct and it appears it is (.0014 / 3.36 APR). I think I can do better, seems high to me...
Thanks so much! My dealer claims they can better the lease deal from Acura. This is my first lease, is it common practice to negotiate a better money factor offered from the dealer? If so, what is reasonable from your experience if we use the Acura deal of .0014 as a baseline?
Your dealer may be able to offer a better lease than the nationally advertised example.. that really isn't all that hard to do.. they just have to sell it for less money than assumed in the example..
But, they can't offer a lower money factor on that lease. (of course, in your example, they didn't say that..)
I have negotiated what I think is a good deal with several accessories, but was wondering if I had any leverage on the money factor. I now realize I can't play hardball on the MF, so this gives me my direction.
Hi Carman, Can you tell me if this is a good deal, before I pull the trigger:
$0 down lease with only first-payment due at signing, 12K miles/year, .00150 money factor, 12,000 miles/year, on a 2014 RDX AWD nonTech is $469.84 plus tax/month. This is based on a sale price of $35,320.96 ZAG program special pricing structure.
The residual is .62 so the gross cap cost is $36,533.96 and the adjusted residual is $22,825.30.
Carman or anyone, I need residual and money factor for Northern Cali( bay area) 2014 RDX w/ tech Fwd 36 mo /12k About to pull trigger but need this info Thanks
2014 RDX (no Tech Pkg). Cap cost $34,300. MF is .0015. Residual is 60% for 36 months, 15K/year. Monthly payment is $449. Taxes, title, etc extra. This is without down payment to reduce cap cost. What do you think of this lease? Thanks.

You are missing two items:
1. Sales price (aka capitalized cost)
2. Residual value
You need that information as well as the MSRP and money factor in order to calculate the monthly payment.
