TL Lease Deals?
I seen this this morning:
http://money.cnn.com/2004/07/28/pf/a...eals/index.htm
but I strongly doubt Acura will offer any incentives since the TL is selling good. However, I just finished my lease on my RSX-S and I need a car. I was going to buy the 05, but after careful evaluation on my finances and crunching some numbers, a lease is a good idea.
As anyone seen any incentives....or post this info:
Agreed Sale Value of Car
Residual Value
Money Factor
Down Payment, if any
What you did with the TAX (either paid up front or included on the payments?)
Any other fees?
AND
Monthly Payment
I would really appreciate this info since I will be more informed when I go to the dealer.
Thanks

It's hard to tell how the dealership will act in this post-era of 04TL at this time.
Since Marysville plant plans starting to build 05 in Aug/Sep, you may see much balanced control and management in reducing 04 TLs into the lines, especially lots of combos are still in the backordered. IMO. I cannot see any signs that Acura TL models has serious overproduction issues.
Some dealers are still selling their stock 04TL with reasonable discounts (Navi: MSRP-1k~2K;non-Navi: MSRP-2.5k-3.5k). Meanwhile, some dealers are starting to sell 05TL with discount $1k-1.5k off MSRP of 05(we don't know yet).
But we could see that dealers will definitely provide more $$$ off when they have 04 and 05 in the stock together.
They are a few threads talking the same price info, you may search and check them out. Thanks.

I concur with Rets post above.
My advice is just to call around to various dealers...in NYC you have to have a great number of them within driving distance. As for the residuals, one dealer can answer this for you with the quickness. The money factors should be the same from dealer to dealer based on your beacon score/credit history.
I would just call as many dealers as possible and have them give you an "apples to apples" quote on the same car and the same terms....then you'll know if you're getting the runaround or not.
My deal was had in Feb. 2004 and my terms or deal won't do you much good late in the 2004 model year.
