Received a buy price of $42K but, lease numbers are crazy, over $500/mo. This doesn't make sense to me and may simply buy.

$42k + TTL? That's a great price!

Where are you located?

stagefoursurvivor

Yeah, I know. Just can't understand why lease is so high

I see. Darn.

Buy it. Screw the awful lease.

I agree. Acura's leases on the RL have always been horrible. It doesn't make any sense. Some attractive lease rates might have given this car a boost back in 2006. BMW has no problem running decent lease rates on entry-level 3-series and 5-series cars, which are the majority of BMW's on the road. Just another in a long line of Acura missteps with the RL.

My budget is tight and wasn't seriously considering the RL after just getting the TL AWD but, when I got this unsolicited offer, I thought maybe I'd consider it.
With the national RL tech offer for $579/mo I thought a sale price of $42K would drop the monthly lease payment significantly but, I guess not.
I went for the TL over the RL because of the dated tech pkg in the RL.

Doesn't low residual value cause the monthly lease rate to be higher?

The RV is 48%

hey stagefoursurvivor,

if i may ask. i am curious, where are u located on the east coast ?
and at what dealer were u able to get such a low asking price for an '10 RL. cuz $42k is a great price if it's an RL with Tech pkg.

thanks

If you're in northern NJ, you're right on top of the dealer! Not sure if it's OK to post here in public.

Just picked up my '10 RL Tech Platinum Frost Metallic/Taupe for $42.8 (destination included) + TTL. Has anyone added the OEM spoiler?

Miner I just bought the twin sister of your car. I would love to see a picture of a 2010 RL with a spoiler. I hope you enjoy your car as much as I enjoy mine.
