I'm sure the 2009 price will drop in a couple of months -- but now is certainly not a good time to take it.
Are you interested in a 2008 or a 2009 MDX? If you want to go with a 24 month lease, you definitely should not lease an '08 model. Acura is not currently providing lease support on the '08 model and Honda Finance's standard 24 month money factor is terrible.
If you were to lease a base '09 RDX through Honda Finance right now for 24 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value would be .00128 and 59%, respectively assuming that you qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier and pay a security deposit at lease signing.
I see that you are considering trading in your CR-V when you lease your new truck. There's nothing wrong with doing so, but it would be in your best interest to have the dealer that you are working with cut you a check for it rather than using the proceeds from it as a down payment for your lease. I always advise consumers to put at little money as possible when leasing. Those who make a large down payment risk losing part or all of it if their vehicle is totaled.

36 months in the optimal term - 52% residual (12k miles per year) and 0.00128 money factor.

12k/year
would like residual on both 36 and 42 months, and money factor as well
Can anyone help here?
Looking to lease in NJ..any suggested dealers?
Would anyone have the MF & residual on a RDX base with 10K per year, 36 months.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
I'm looking to see how close to 400 a month I can be at for 36 months and 1,000 total out of pocket [or 0 down besides 1st month]
12k miles / year and no tech package
NY/NJ area
thanks
You definitely do not want to lease for more than 36 months because that is the longest term that Acura's special lease program is available for. If you lease for 42 months, the money factor will jump to .00290.

would either of you know the MF and RV for a 2009 Rdx w/ tech and also these numbers for the base model as well. Additionally are there any incentives like there are for the lexus rx and infiniti fx35?
thanks
Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a base 2009 Acura RDX with 15,000 miles per year are .00090 and 48%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top aka "Super Preferred" credit tier and pay a security deposit at lease signing. The numbers for an otherwise identical lease of an RDX with the Tech package are .00090 and 47%.
In lieu of this special lease program, Acura is offering 0.9% to 2.9% special financing on the 2009 RDX, but no cash incentives.

36-month lease
15K per year
Acura RDX w/Tech - MSRP - $37,755
Negotiated sale price - $35,374
Sales Tax - $2841.95
Flat Tax (never heard of this) - $15
License & Title - $175
Acquisition Fee - $595
Adjusted cap cost - $39,001.37
Residual - $17,744.85 (or 47%)
Money Factor - .00090
Acura says $641.53 per month with taxes rolled in - only first month due at signing
Edmunds says $615 per month. I'm trying to figure out where the difference is.
Any thoughts? Dealers seem willing to privde the detailed worksheets but I wonder if the numbers always add up. Assuming the residual and money factor are accurate and the negotiated price is acceptable, where can they (dealers) play games with the monthly?
Thanks,
Max
Thanks!
RDX Base Model
MSRP: $34,455.00
Sales Price: $29,348.32
IL Sales tax: 9.25%
Aquisition fee: $595.00
39mo/10,000mi
Money Factor: 0.0025
Residual: 49%
Monthly payment: $534.08
Acura's "Super Preferred" tier
(Then because we live in the city of Chicago, we add 8% use tax monthly on top of that. :mad: )
$600/mo. for 60 months... At the end of 39 months, you'd only owe $11,400, or so...
The lease taxes in Chicago are a killer.... doubt that the lease vs. buy scenario will ever come out in favor of leasing for you..

When negotiating your lease on this truck, make sure to take the $2,500 dealer cash incentive that is available on it into account. It will help you to negotiate a capitalized cost that's well below dealer invoice.

The residual took a little bit of a hit but they sure raised that money factor... it was 0.0009 before 1/5/09. The new higher MF and lower residual sure strip away a lot of the benefit from the $2500 factory to dealer incentive. My current lease ends in March so I'm hoping they bring back a lower MF by then.

I purchased the car for $35,800 with taxes included.
Its White Diamond Pearl with ebony interior and has 220 miles.
The car has added accessories such as step rails, body side moldings, and a roof rack and an Acura installed alarm.
Does anyone know what I should sell the car for? or should i just bring it back to the dealer? ( i know they will jerk me)
I'm in NYC..Privately i'm thinking of selling it for $34K. I think thats fair. The only thing is that I havent received the title from the DMV. Its been over 3 weeks since i purchased the car. I can't sell the car without the title. Let me know if your interested.
Thanks.
The $34K seems a bit high for an already "used" car (technically speaking). I've seen prices from mid $32K on this forum for an 2009 RDX Tech.
Anyways, good luck on selling your car. Regards.
As far as how much you are going to be able to get for this truck goes, I personally doubt that you will find anyone who is willing to purchase an MDX that is technically used for much more than $31,000. A savvy consumer who is in an area that has a decent level of competition would likely be able to get a brand new one near dealer invoice minus the $2,500 dealer cash that is available on it...around $32,250.

Current MF and residual for the South East Coast on the RDX Base please. They haven't been very favorable lately from what I can see for the Tech pkg, but have not seen any current info. for the base lately.
Thanks!

Honda Finance's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Acura RDX Base with 15,000 miles per year are .00250 and 47%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its "Super Preferred" credit tier. You will be able to get a slightly lower payment on a 39 month lease. The money factor for that term is the same, but the residual value is 1% lower.

You can determine approximately how much it will cost you to get out of your current lease by comparing its purchase price to its value on the open market at this time. You should place a call to the bank that you are leasing your vehicle through to find out its exact price. Once you know exactly how much money it is going to cost you to buy your leased vehicle you need to compare it to its current value on the open market. You can find out approximately what your vehicle is worth by looking up its Edmunds.com True Market Value in the Used Vehicle Pricing section of this site. You also may want to stop by the following discussion: "Real-World Trade-In Values". Don't forget to check to see if you are still on the hook for your remaining lease payments. The difference between your leased vehicle's current value and how much it will cost you to buy it plus any remaining lease payments that you are obligated to pay will equal the cost of getting out of your lease right now. You probably will find that you are better off waiting until you are closer to the scheduled end of your lease to get another new vehicle.

Selling price $29840. 36 months x 15K a year, .20 per mile overage.
4995 down inclusive of taxes, all fees 1st month payment @ $418 a month. + dmv fees. Dealer said they could get me about $300 lower than this deal.
Sound good? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
What dealer is this from, im looking for an rdx with NAV, wonder where they are on that?
The nav was about $70 more a month, give or take, which is why I went without it. Seems a little high when a GPS on the dash can do just as good.
I think I am going to go with this deal.
As for the price, it seems too high given the current market conditions. I'm driving a 2008 RDX with nav for $469/month ($1300 down), inclusive of NYC taxes, leased in July of last year. People were still buying cars back then. :-) Honda is bound to issue some insentives very soon -- if they haven't yet. However, I'm just an amateur, so please be free to dismiss my opinion.
Drose, thats an awesome price, i was just quoted on Friday $599 w/tax for the same money upfront. I laughed at the guy. It makes no sense. Honda is offering the cash to dealer but the crappy residual and high MF are putting this car out of my reach even though its my first choice.
Where did you buy from?
Granted GPS is not exactly as good, but I'll give you hint; If you are the lower level of the Verazzano and your signal is lost, one end is Staten Island, and the other end is Brooklyn!
mbrokerny,
I signed the papers today, 4670 with nothing else added, 418 a month, base model rdx w/out nav. Curry Acura, Central Ave, Scarsdale. This was better than DCH in fishkill who wanted close to 5K uprfront. Also better than bedford acura. I think (hope) it was a good deal, but you never know.
Of course, Verazzano is just one example. If you are familiar with the area and see (before entering Verazzano) that the Nav takes you to Belt, you don't need a command to get there. However, if you are in an unfamiliar area, and the next turn is somewhere under a bridge or right after a tunnel, you are doomed. I know what I'm talking about -- I have used a Garmin for 2 years. On the other hand, like I said, if you don't think the conenience of a built-in NAV+camera is worth an extra 2.5 grand (70x3 years) -- that's your choice.
I tried Curry Acura and even gave them a deposit, but they failed to deliver a blue car like I wanted. I also had a good offer from Troy @ Park Ave Acura, but he couldn't find a blue car either. I finally went with a dealership 200 miles from NYC: Feder's Acura, the guy's name is Steve.
