My Take: No lease support this month on the 09 TSX still. For those who haven’t noticed, this car’s price tag went up nearly $800 from the 08 model. The residuals are still very strong, so if they can cut the MF down by 50%, we’ll be looking at a better lease deal. To put things in perspective, back in 07, I leased my wife’s TSX for $295 a month + tax with about $750 DOD. That’s $295 + tax with the acquisition fee rolled in! These numbers I am churning out require you to pay for the acquisition fee upfront. Yickes! The 48 month lease is looking rather promising at $352 per month + tax at invoice. Not a whole lot less than the 36 month, but better than nothing. Personally, I’d rather go with a 36 month lease and drop the mileage down to 12k a year. That should net you similar lease payments. I personally wouldn’t lease this car yet, still too early. Please note how 24-month leases have gradually become worse in the past few months. This may be trend-setting. I may have to change THE LIST from 24/36 month numbers to 36/48 month numbers. I don’t forsee leases from captive banks to go away completely, but the better deals will certainly be for longer terms.
