  Tips for negotiating a lease have been posted in detail in many recent posts in this forum. For example, review December posts #1786, 1799, 1801, and 1826. You asked a question specifically about the impact of options on your lease payment. Assuming a 36 month lease, each $1,000 of additional options typically increases your lease payment by about $30 per month. The convenience package costs $3,500 (minus a discount of up ... Read More

  ab10000, you are wrong about model years being "just marketing". The model year directly affects residual value. A 2012 has greater market value and residual value than a 2011 sold in Dec 2011 or Jan 2012. A dealer generally is more motivated to unload a left-over 2011 that's been sitting on the lot than he is for a 2012 that just arrived. There are other reasons why you are wrong: some ... Read More

  This is an older post, but I'm going to reply anyway because most of this post is subjective, unsubstantiated misinformation. The claim that the MDX is "more reliable" is refutable. Reviewing recent JD Power 3-year reliability numbers, Acura had 1.4 defects per vehicle while BMW had 1.6. There is no significant difference between the two. You will not have 1.4 or 1.6 defects. Either way, you're likely to have a defect ... Read More
