2012 Acura Lease Rates – February 2012

Can’t wait to see the NSX and the ILX lease rates. If you haven’t seen the Acura NSX during the Super Bowl, here’s the link to the YouTube video. That was quite amusing. LOL. Anyway, no change on the numbers this month, but sale price on the TL seems to be a bit lower with the $1500 dealer marketing cash that’s available on this car. For those 0.9% financing for up to 36 month or 1.9% for 60 month also available. Looks like Acura is really trying to move the TL. Hopefully the next TL is a lot better looking. I really like Acura lease programs due to the damage-waiver credit and no disposition fees. That’s a whole lot of anxiety and cash saved at lease-end.


Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.

2012 ACURA TL BASE
MSRP – $36,490
Sale Price – $31,917 ($1500 dealer marketing cash applied)
Monthly – $360+ tax
RWG Rating – 97.5

  1. Hi,

    VERY helpful website! I just leased an RDX and nobody mentioned this “damage waiver credit”. Can you explain it to me, please?

    Thanks!

  2. just to let you know that NSX is coming out in 2015! People are wondering why they made a commercial about it so early. I guess to show Acura is not boring and finally has a an exciting car in their lineup.

  3. Looking at some of the specs released on the ILX (150 HP, ~$26,000 starting price) I see more people spending the extra money on a TSX. I have to say, I’m quite disappointed with Acura. The TSX is going to be phased out, so we could see the residuals creeping lower. Not the best situation if you’re shopping for an Acura…

    • @Uzair. I am going to hold my breath on the ILX. I don’t think they have a product line that satisfies people’s needs. There’s way too much overlap with their vehicles. Plus their design language is still a flipping mess. I suspect the TSX will not be phased out for at least a year or so. They will probably see how the ILX affect TSX sales before pulling the plug. I do think the Wagon will get canned, which is a shame. Most people who have driven one, like it.

  4. Hi, Sorry if this is covered, but the money factor and residual on the site are for how many miles per year?

    • @sam. Everything posted here is 15k unless specifically stated. Typically you add 2% for 12k and 3% for 10k miles per year. Some brands such as Hyundai only go up1% per mileage tier.

  5. Hey G,

    I still have 11 months left on my ’10 base MDX (3 yr/15k). This was a zero down, except for fees. Monthly payment is $525 before tax.. (Res. $23,671 / MF was .00126) Dealer lowered cap cost by offering vouchers from Acura for about $1K plus their own discount off MSRP..
    Acura is now calling me and offering to buy out the remaining 11 months and put me in the same vehicle for no cap cost reduction or fees for the same price and terms. MF is .00090 and residual is 53%.
    Does it make fiscal sense to take them up on this offer. I look at it as only a 2 year extension ?

    • @taylor. That depends. Do you want the MDX for another 3 years? Were you looking to change cars? SUVs are gonna get hit so hard because of gas prices, I can see why they want to lock you in for another 3.
      Acura leases are great, so I don’t really see a benefit of terminating a lease early unless you have one or more of the following:

      1) wear and tear
      2) going over your miles
      3) equity in your vehicle (you would have to trade the car in instead of return)
