i am interested in leasing a 2006, RSX Acura, automatic, leather interior.
i understand that the dealer invoice is $21,030. how far should i push for a good price? the last quote is $21,599. but i don't know what the money factor is...yet. and i have not seen monthly payments.
is this a good deal? should i push for something closer to dealer invoice?
what do you think the residual value should be...for a 36 month lease...15k miles a year?
also...is the money factor still at .0086?
thanks so much!
For now, I can tell you that the money factor that you were quoted looks a little high to me. Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor for the 2006 RSX is .00104 for consumers who pay a security deposit and qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier (have a credit score of 710 or higher).
Also, I notice that you are considering making a $2,500 down payment on this car. I always advise consumers against making any sort of down payment when leasing. I do so for two main reasons. The first is if your vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen during your lease, your down payment essentially disappears. The second main reason is that down payments on leased vehicles do nothing to reduce their lease-end purchase prices. So your lease-end purchase option price for your RSX would be exactly the same, regardless of whether you had put $2,500 down, or had made absolutely no down payment at all.
Anyhow, let me know what the MSRP is and I'll tell you what I think.

Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year of a base 2006 Acura RSX are .00104 and 55%, respectively.

Do you know what the current money factor and residual value for a 2006 RSX with leather for a 36month lease with 12k
$219 mo. / $2738 down
I don't like the sound of that down payment, anyway, what do you think about the deal having read the Honda Finance Information?

Thing is, there will still be taxes and fees of probably another $1500 or so depending on your state. How will you pay those?

The Type-S audio system is Blows, err, I mean Bose... My 02 RSX Base stock system had a Clarion headunit and Panasonic speakers (both long since replaced).
I don't know if they changed the components for other model years, so I suppose it's possible yours is different (would be extremely surprised if Acura sprung for Alpine though, heh).
Hope this helps.
I have seen the stereo in the '06, looks exactly the same as my '04. Which is the Clarion/Panasonic combo mentioned above.
It's kind of funny, Honda puts top-notch stereos in so many of its models, and all of the Acuras, yet puts this bargain basement pile in the RSX.

I hear the speakers are good but the deck just cant performa s good as the speakers. before u go chnge everthing just change the deck first then see how it sounds. If its still not good then u can get speakers

This is in the NYC area. Can anyone offer any advice? Should I be asking from some of the frills (most of which I'd never pay for) as a bonus here?
Thanks for any help
I am preparing info for a 36 month/12,000 miles per yearlease and wanted to ask if you knew the July 2006 Money Factor and residual numbers for the 2006 Acura RSX Type S (36 months/12k miles). Also, do you think I would be better waiting until August to lease the vehicle? Also do you know the WHOLE percentage? I believe thats what they call it.
Thanks for the help,
Keith
PS- This site is awesome & informative!
I am planning to put dual Kicker subwoofers (http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Kicker-Dual-12-Subwoofer-Enclosure-Package-DCVR1- 2-/sem/rpsm/oid/117529/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do) with the audio system that comes with Acura (this is not Bose system) Has anyone put those kind of subwoofers with Acura Audio System? Any feedback will be very much appreciated.
Thanks !!!

I've already contacted several dealers and I've heard from $20,740 to $500 under invoice ( which I doubt he'll keep his word)
Should I be thinking of a low price since the RSX is being discontinued and by October 06 RSX's will be a used car that wont sell in their inventory?
i am interested in the RSX-S lease. 36 month. 15,000.
i read in a previous posting that the tae lease and money factor was .00132 and 58% respectively. are they still at these rates?
also, what do you think about the car being discontinued? is this wise, to lease this car? i like it a lot, and it is a good value for what you get...and compared to other cars in this class and price range...i think it is a great deal. what do you think?
also...one last question. what should i ask for, MSRP? $500 over dealer invoice? do you know current dealer invoice?
My girlfriend is in the market for a new car and really likes the RSX. She's a PhD student so money is somewhat tight. We realize that a 48 month lease might have a poor MF but we're looking for a lower monthly payment.
If someone could supply the MF and residuals for the month for September, we would be very thankful.
I am not intimately familiar with what the market is like for this model right now, but I suspect that most dealers would be happy to blow out any remaining '06 RSX models that they have at fairly close to dealer invoice. You can look up the dealer invoice of the model that you want by visiting the following section of this site: Edmunds.com - Acura Pricing. In general, there's nothing wrong with leasing a model that will be discontinued but this car's lease program is so bad that there are probably a number of better vehicles for the money out there right now.

Westmont (IL) Acura salesman originally told me $23K when I was there. I left and emailed him back that after thinking about it $23K was fine...now add tax, title and license and give me the total. That turned out to be $25,200. I didn't think anything of it. Then I go with the check to p/u the car and I notice the price of the car on the paperwork is $23,400, plus tax, title and license. Salesman is pissed off because he says we agreed on the phone to a total price of $25,200. Yeah, we did, with him misleading me to believe that tax, title and license came to $2,200 instead of about $1,800. I tell him we agreed on 23K plus tax, title and license, and there was no way I was going over $23,250 on the price of the car. At one point he warned me that I wouldn never find another red Type S, because they're really hard to find. I almost walked out anyway I was so pissed.
Anyway, he goes and talks to the boss and comes back with $23,250, which, at the time, is what Edmunds says was the average price in my neighborhood. What this dealership was trying to pull is probably pretty standard stuff. Just make sure that--after you agree on a price for the car--you check their math on all the other stuff. In the end I'm sitting there with a check for $15K and they weren't about to let me walk out the door.
Love the car though. I've heard people say that the stereo is kind of crappy, and I'd go along with that. Hell, the stereo in my '98 Malibou sounded better. Then again, the stero ain't why I bought the car.
RSXs have stopped shipping to dealers, so what is out there is the largest selection of new RSXs that will ever exist again. American Honda has removed all incentives for this model, and the last few will sell without the dealers having to try too hard. And they know that, so the hot summer deals have passed into history along with the Labor Day weekend.
Thing is, demand for this model was always steady, even this year, so they won't have to beg people to buy the last few of these great cars, and even so they will be gone well before New Years. Strike now while the iron is hot and the selection of colors and whatnot is still pretty good. At least, that would be my recommendation.

For $23K, I would look at the Audi A3 or Subura WRX. Reliability wise, Acura maybe better than both but I just get with the humble low-end torque with the RSX.
I still want a car from Acura but not RSX nor TSX (over-priced comparing with A4 or 328i) or TL (too big/heavy). Re-introduce the Type-R with a bigger engine - 2.6-2.8 or better yet the new turbo (for RDX) with RWD. Even the Lexus has the IS250/350 with RWD. Why cannot Acura do it for better performance/handling? :confuse:
