I was working this forum as i was looking to purchase a new car..And decided to go with the 2008 RL ..
I would like to thank everybody on this site because when i got to the dealer I had a good idea of how low I could get them to go because i seen what you guys where pulling off as far as monthly payments...

 

Welcome to AZ and congrats on purchasing the ultimate sleeper in luxury cars!

I still love mine after 19 months!

 

Yes, welcome. It's a great car. The kind of car you tend to appreciate more over the months. That's hard to say about most cars I've owned

 

Congrats, saw your new owner sign in with the price.
What motivated you to pay almost sticker for 08 RL? I'm seeing much lower asking prices from dealers. maybe you leased.

 

Welcome and congratulations on your RL purchse. Did you mean the price $43k and not $53k as you mentioned in the new owner sign in?

 

I was gonna ask the exact same question. Regardless, the RL is a fantastic vehicle, the only lease I have ever had that I didn't want to give back, that's saying something for me!! Enjoy!!

 

Yeah I leased it.... $53k was just the MSRP ..I got the lease for 540$/m 36 months...and the the buyout price after the lease is $23k ..
I love this vehicle so far...its been a great month..I had a 2002 jaguar x-type before this and there is just no comparison.

 

I suppose it doesn't matter too much, but for the sake of curiosity, what's the deal on this deal? The residual is WAY to low for a Rl with CMBS ($53k). Even at 15k miles, the current residuals on the RL are about 49%. The $540 payment makes no sense either unless the final cap cost was like $35k or you put down $10k. Are you sure you leased a RL with CMBS? Are you sure you leased an RL? if so, who's your dealer. I'm going there!

Black Label, you realize you have officially become my favorite Acura inside informant!! Thanks again for awesome info!! Will let you know about the 08 RL Tech. Sorry, a little off topic.

 

people where posting lease prices close to that all over the net like they where giving these cars away so I went to the dealer with those prices in my head and just kept pushing it. I don't know about all those figures you guys are throwing our but its the acura dealer on route 22. In Springfield nj. And I'm pretty sure I got an rl well......yeah pretty sure

 

I don't know Legend. All I know is that's a fantastic price. Congrats. I went into my dealer last week to get a lease price on a tech TSX with $1k of accessories for my daughter. I was quoted $504 15k 36m (before tax) That's basically MSRP minus about a grand. That's typical with the new TSX since supplies are limited. If your dealer is offering loaded RL's for $540, I suspect he won't be selling many of those new TSX's right now

 

Happy to help

 

Thanks! They are very good to see. All I can seem to find online is the 49% number for 36 months. I can't find a place to see all combinations of trim and mileage.

I also appreciate you lining up the columns with those extra dots. Such an overachiever
