Help..thinking of going from audi to rlx

I posted this on another site but found this one which seems to be more active...I will repost below


huh?
Yep...been driving the s4 (love it) but my kids getting a little older and are starting to complain about the occasional car pool in the back seat (3 of them).
So I decided to look for FWD car. Came across RLX.
Love the interior. Dripping in luxury (on the advanced packge) and safety features.
Outside is ok.
Drive was nice but definitely did not have the acceleration of my prior 3 cars.
Nevertheless, the thing is being so heavily discounted that I think the lease is really good and makes it a compelling choice. Especially as a loaded full featured car. Similarly featured AUdi or BMW will lease out much higher. Yes, may turn a few more heads but I want the best car for the money deal...

RIght now, I am seeing the 61+k Advanced car being sold for a hair under 50K.
That discount really drives the leasing price down to under 600 a month (taxes included)
Question: That seems like a great discount but can anyone confirm that this is as low as the discounts will go or should I be pushing harder for more discounting?
Question2 does anyone know when the awd show with higher hp is being released
Question3. Does anyone know the mf and rv values for the lx at 36 /10 lease?

My current lease ends end of December.
Thanks

Acura is paying them to be able to go below invoice. In my part of the world an Advance Package would go for between 53 and 54. So if it's an Advance Package (not just a Tech Package) that they're giving you for 49, then you've done very well indeed.

Invoice on Advance is a little over 56, but there is some holdback that can be taken out, they have the Acura rebate to them to take out, and if they've had the car long enough that they're paying finance charges on it, I'm sure they're very motivated.

Question2 does anyone know when the awd show with higher hp is being released
It was supposed to be out earlier, but it won't be until "Spring" [sic] now, they say. Don't know if by "Sringtime" Ohio means March or April. :-)

Question3. Does anyone know the mf and rv values for the lx at 36 /10 lease?
I drive about 20,000 - 25,000/year so I can't answer that. :-) It has never been logical for me to lease an Acura.

Welcome to AZ!

Yes, the discounts are for real. Jump on them. I would if I wanted a FWD RLX....but I want the sport hybrid SH-AWD RLX.

The latest scuttlebutt is that testers for the sport hybrid SH-AWD RLX will be available this month at dealers, with ordering to follow in January and deliveries in early spring.

Hey George, "spring" here in my neck of the woods in Ohio means May.
