ILX Premium lease numbers are out and it boasts a nice 60% residual. TrueCar market data indicates that most ILXs are selling for about MSRP…some slightly over. Not too surprised there. Either way, I’d wait it out a bit until prices drop a notch. The TSX and the TL should still lease fairly well this month so not all is lost. Remember that new model usually come at a premium so if you want to have the newest and shiniest toy in your block, expect to pay for it.
Below I have a sample calculation on the TL. The assumption is that you are getting the car at around dealer cost. There is $2000 in dealer cash and you may also qualify for either the $1000 conquest or loyalty cash. They look like they can be combined so I recommend tapping into that. If you can swing this, you could end up with a pretty nice ride for a reasonable payment.
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.

Thank you so much for everything you do to make sure us car buyers are armed with the information we need to get a great deal. What are the rates and residuals for a 48 month Acura Base TL lease with 10000 miles per year?
Hello G –
can you comment on following?
MDX base model 2012
$0 down (excludes titles/registration fees – inception fees)
$438/month for 36 months, 10K/yr
thanks in advance
I think that’s pretty good deal. I’ve been thinking about MDX. Can you give me selling price for that car? Thank you.
sorry i didn’t get a chance to address this…its been a rough month at work…The deal looks solid but I am curious as to what exactly you paid at drive-off. I am also hoping taxes were included in that monthly payment.
Acura ILX premium MSRP $ 30,095.
39 month lease at 12k miles / year
Money factor .00099
Residual 62%
net cap cost including acquisition = $27,642
Monthly base lease payment = $275 + state Tax = $300/ month all rolled in
Only 1st and DMV fee due at delivery
Total $11,700 for the entire term of 39 months
Is this. Good deal?
Jack, not bad. I am not a fan of 39 month leases, but the MF is good and Residual is nice and high. You also got a nice discount so the deal is solid.
I’m looking at an Acura TLX with tech package and the sale price is $30,400. One dealer is offering me $505 a month and another is $459. I’m assuming both of these numbers are high? What numbers do I need in order to bring these offers down?
Thanks
Just got a 2012 TL Base
36 mos
No money out of pocket! expect 1 st mont payment ( 341)
Payment ( 322 plus tax is 341), 36 mos
Zero Down
Zero Anything but 1 st mos payment
To top is off they gave me $5500 of my 2003 Nissan Pathfinder with 141K. This money was sent to me in a check, it was not tied into the deal. This is private party money for a trade that they paid in Hard Trade Cash. a fair trade would have been 4000.
If you are looking for a TL the 2012 has some great deals, if you can find them anymore!
Hi G, thanks for all your info. I’ve been offered a 2012 TL SHAWD tech (MSRP $44000) for $404.97/month for a 36 mo lease with 10k/year (negotiated price is $37000). Downpayment is $3000 plus a $1000 loyalty bonus for a total of $4000. Residual is 51% and MF is 0.00052. I feel the residual is too low. What do you think?
Wow, these numbers on the TL too are great. Whats the trick in getting an offer down?
I actually got it down a little more today…to $389.50/month..dealer reduced the cap cost a few hundred bucks..they are trying hard to sell the 2012 models now and are giving around $7k discount off MSRP in my area in northern california…I know other places in the USA have even better discounts…
