2007 Acura RDX
Written by: rdbravo on Jul 19, 2007 9:42:25 AM
Carman, I am currently leasing a 2004 MDX and want to lease an 2007 RDX. By the end of the lease, I will probably be about 6,000 miles over my limit. I got some figures from the dealer I leased the MDX. MSRP:$34,200, 15000 miles/per year, 36 months @ $675 month, $828 at lease signing. Getting information out of them is like pulling teeth. They are sending me the residual value ... Read More

The Money Factor went up big time and the residual went down this month. That's why you see the big increase in your payment. Check out the difference in lease rates for June and July. June - 2007 Acura RDX w/ Technology 24 Month – Residual 58% of MSRP – .00101 Base Rate 36 Month – Residual 51% of MSRP – .00101 Base Rate 48 Month – Residual 41% of MSRP ... Read More

I would be happy to calculate a lease payment on this vehicle for you, hezdope07. I see that you are considering making a large down payment on your lease. I always advise consumers against making them. Those who do risk losing part or all of them if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. You would be better off keeping the $3,000 in th bank and ... Read More

Hi mhodgie. The dealer invoice price of a 2007 Acura RDX with the Tech Package is $34,145. The selling price that you were quoted for the one that you are interested in is very attractive, it is less than $500 over invoice. Just make sure that the dealer you are working with uses Honda Finance's buy rate lease money factor, which was recently raised to .00290 for consumers who pay a ... Read More
