Acura's May buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 TSX Base with 10,000 miles per year are .00046 and 59%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier.
The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of a '12 TSX SE are the same.

I offered $28.5k + title + tax +doc fee for 2012 Acura TSX TECH 4 CYL. Please let me know if this is the good price???
Thanks,

My 2007 TSX is coming off lease. I extended due to job layoff the month before lease end in 2010 ( kind of hard to get financed when unemployed! ) After 3 layoffs in 4 years, needless to say my credit score has gone from 720 in 2007 to 560 currently. My 8 years with Acura Financial have been perfect but I'm wondering what I can expect with my current score. My TSX has only 17,000 miles and is in excellent condition. Payoff is $10,600 so I figure I have about $6,000 equity for trade. What kind of money factor do you think I can hope for this time around?
Thanks,
SJ
Anychance you happen to have the residual for a 24mo lease (TSX 4cyl Tech)?? For any mileage is fine, but 12k if you have it. Thanks!!

Is the 2012 TSX current promotion leasing deal good?
$1,999.99 - down payment
$299./month for 36 months
10,000 miles a year
Total monthly payments $10,764.00.
Option to purchase at lease end $18,233.95.
Thanks!
Looked at a TSX yesterday and am wondering what I should expect to get if their "lease special" online is listed as this:
MSRP:* $35,010.00
Lease Acquisition Fee: $595.00
Capitalized Cost Reduction: $0.00
Capitalized Cost *: $31,998.00
Residual Value: $19,955.70
Security Deposit: $0.00
Monthly Payment: $341.61
Lease Term: 36
Mileage Allowance: 36,000
Excess Mileage Fee: $0.20
I'm considering going back and asking for the best they could do for 15k/36mo or maybe 15k/24mo. How does this standard offer look though?
Thanks
I just my car on May 13, 2012 from Riverside CA Dealer.
Here is what I got.
TSX Base 2012 - Graphite Exterior/Ebony Interior
15K mileages/year 36 month.
MSRP 30,695
56 % residual value 17,189.20 buy out
.00046 money factor (Excellent FICO score).
Due at signin $1,287.00 included first month.
Payment $295+ Tax.
At first I got 695 due at signing and $330+plus tax for 35 payment.I was calling around to get the color I want. I got a better deal.
Good Luck to all.
I'm looking into taxes right now.
I am looking for the May numbers (MF, Residual %, incentives etc) on a 36 month lease with 12K miles per year for a 2012 TSX Sportwagon without the Tex Package.
Thanks in advance.
I am being offered the following on the base TSX, it seems too good to be true, is it?
At signing:
Freight........................................$885
Acquisition....................................595
Processing....................................399
Title and tags.................................62.75
VA tax.........................................849.33
TOTAL......................................$2791.08
The $239 first mo payment would also be required at signing.
Then 35 monthly payments of $239/mo for a 10k/year lease.
So basically, $2000 down + tax, tag, title BUT the monthly payment is $239 instead of the advertized $299. Thoughts?
I'm not sure we would want to buy the car and then try to find a buyer. Clearly, if the dealer takes this car they will turn it fast and make easy money.
Any suggestions? Thanks!
Here is the deal I got - I think if not rock bottom, it seems to be good one.
1800 Down (includes 1st payment)
3200 (includes IL 8.25% tax, Tag, license and doc fees)
239 x 35 months for a 10k/ year lease.
Got some small freebies - $100 for accessories and one free oil change.
Residual is 18k.
I think you can do a little more.
Here is mine ... down payment is 1800 ... yours is 2000.
For TTL - I paid 3200 ... but note the tax itself is 2475 (let's say 2500). So the TL portion of TTL was only 700, whereas your numbers add upto about 1800.
Good luck and do post here how it went.
I rely on this board heavily whenever I am back in the market. I pay my dues by posting what I got or was offered.
Acura's current buy rate lease money factor for the 2012 TSX is .00046 for consumers who qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier.

$324 a month - seems pretty good? Dealer near Boston - they delivered it to me in VT. Lots of wagons down there and I guess the TSX is going away for 2013 so I bet the deals will get even better.
Good luck!
What I plan to do is talk to our bank about a loan, since Acura Financial does not do third party transfers / sales. I want to line up a buyer myself, buy the car, and sell it (all in a day or two), and hope the bank can help us do this with a temp loan or something. If that doesn't work, we'll see what Acura dealers might offer us for the car. Even if we had to have a loan for a small time to find a buyer, paying any early loan payoff fees (if they exist) would be worth it for what looks like $6,000-8,000 in cash we could get.
The issue comes with state taxes. If you have to buy the car to sell it, I have to pay state sales tax--but if I sell it real fast, I can apply for a refund on the unused tax portion. States differ--some allow you a 10 day grace period to pay tax, which give you 10 days to sell it free of charge.
My suggestion would be to buy the car if you like it. If not, turn it in, move on and not worry about what the dealer would make on it.
15 K a year. 36 months.
Down $1287 including first month.
295 + tax for 35 payment.
You can ask to lower the down if you have an excellent credit.
Good Luck.
If you are not hurry to go a car, just wait and call all the dealer around your area. You will get what you want.
In my case I got the quote from DCH in Tustin. He gave me $1,287 Due at signing and $299 a month (35 payments) for 15K a year for 36 months. They have the color I want but the not black interior. Saleman told me to get my second choice. He said I must go in by tomorrow to get that dea So I never call him back. Then I checked the stock online and call the dealer that I have the exactly one I want. I called them and said This is the quote I have and If you can do better. I would lease one right now. They called me back within 10 mins. I got the car the next morning. Love the car.
As I list before Here is what I got.
$1,287 Due at signing and $295 a month + tax (35 payments) for 15K a year for 36 months.
I went to DCH today. Mr. personality would not give me anything special. I know they are running a special on the TSX because it is getting phased out wiht the arrival of the ILX. They told me $2000.00 down and $295.00 per month for 36 months for the model without Navigation. Net Cap cost (true cost) is about $30,000.00. On the one with the Navigation he told me $2000.00 down with $345.00 per month. The residual is $18,200.00 on both cars. To top it off, this was on the 10K miles per year. He flat out told me if I want a better deal, I can go somewhere else, but the Brea dealership offered me the same thing.
Can i ask Teddybear what the net cap cost, money factor, residual is on that car?
Any advice or contact name is appreciated.
Went to an Acura dealer in NY on Saturday looking to lease a 2012 TSX (open to base or tech package, but leaning towards tech package).
My salesman was fairly friendly, very blunt and to-the-point, no BS and not pushy, which I couldn't decide was a good or bad thing (expecting to be buttered up a bit more).
He downplayed the value of the tech package saying it was mostly a built in GPS and better stereo (maybe thinking it would be easier to close me on the base).
Bottom, line, here's the deal I was given off the bat (no negotiating on my part):
-$299/month for base, $349/month for tech package - I believe 10k miles per year but need to verify
-$1,000 down
-$495 GAP insurance fee
-$995 tax
Total $2490
This seems like a reasonable deal to me, but I'm not sure if/where I have room to negotiate. After speaking with many people, they tell the GAP insurance is BS and to reject it. But after doing research, it seems it is standard or REQUIRED on leases with Acura in NY:
GAP (Guaranteed Asset Protection)
Although you may intend to keep a vehicle for the full term of a lease, an accident or theft could cause early termination. Most auto insurance policies pay the average market value of the vehicle, which may be considerably less than the remaining lease obligation. Leases from Acura Financial Services™ include GAP protection to cover this difference in the event of such a loss.
Vehicles financed with a retail installment contract from Acura Financial Services™ do not include GAP coverage, except in the state of New York. Clients financing vehicles outside New York state may be able to purchase GAP coverage from their dealer.
So I'm not sure if this is a negotiable item? If it's "included" should I be paying $495 for it?
I can't just jump into the lease with exactly what I've been quoted, but not sure what terms I have to negotiate with. The GAP charge was presented to me as required and may be based on my research online, but I'm not sure.
Any insight is appreciated!
I got my car from Riverside CA. Ask for the saleman that look like Michael Douglas. He is very helpful and Honest.
2012 Base TSX
Base payment $295+ tax 36 months
Residual amount $17,189.20
Money factor .00046
Mileage program 15,000
Due at signing $1,287.00
Please run away from this saleman. Good luck.
Nevertheless deals you were offered are not that bad if they include everything (tax, MV, Doc fees) and are for 12K miles per year.
I would offered them either $340 per month for the base model or $390 per month for Tech with EVERYTHING included. Bottom line - 36 payments of $340 or $390 per month, not a single penny more.
Try Mission Viejo. They offered me a base TSX for under $27.5k last week. So, you add the acquisition cost of $595, it brings a cap cost of about $28.2k before any money down.
Remember the nationally advertised offer is $2k down and $299/mo on a 10k mile lease. The net cap is $28.2k, after the $2k drive off. If you take the price I mentioned above, you should be getting about the same payments (maybe $15/mo more for 15k mi/yr) without the down payment.
