questions on leasing a TSX

Hey sup people. i have been on this site for a while listening to everyone about their TSX. I made the choice to buy the TSX a while back but i have been waiting to sell my 02 Galant.(I know I know i dont need to hear about how bad the Galants are. but anyway this is mainly for the people in the New York area. I live in Connecticut but i got my hands on a New York Times and saw a ad in there from Acura of Manhattan. They have leasing with 4300 down for 249 a month w/out nav and 299 a month with nav. i'd probably put more down but anyway did anyone else hear of this and what do you guys think. i went to a few other dealers and told them about this but they said there is nothin they can do to top that. what do u guys think.

Did you add 8.75% for tax? If you did, that is a pretty good deal. Make sure the car is in good shape.
Just a question, why would you want to put that much down on a smart buy?

That's alot of money down on a lease. God forbid you wreck it a month after you buy it, you would be out $4300.00. Dealers also omit the destination charges, the protection package and a couple of other things to get that price down and entice you to go down there. The lease is probably for 10,000 miles/yr too. Just be careful, if it is legit than more power to you.

Also, the tax is based on where you register your car, so if you are registering in Conn. factor in Conn. tax rate.

Well, how long's the lease? And how many miles do they allow annually?

I bought my TSX at the Acura of Manhattan and the representatives/managers were great, just ask for John Manning or Scott Lee.

$4300 down

That's way too much. With a lease, the less you pay up front, the better. Try running a search on leases and you'll find several threads which list a range of lease terms and prices. Also, you'll want to call this dealer and find out all the exact terms and how many vehicles this lease will apply to.

I put 2500 down for a CGTSX no navi and i pay 360/mo 48 mo with 15k/yr

The good news is that honda leasing offers free gap coverage which means if you did 'total' the car that that you would not be responsible for the difference between your insurance payout and the lease buyout price.

I put $0 down and pay $375/month 48 months 12K miles/year

This was in April of '03. You might be able to do a bit better now that there are more TSX's out there. The dealer only had 2 TSX's on the lot when I got mine. SSM/quartz/no navi.
