What's the residual looking like on the 18's?

Thinking about leasing a Sport Hybrid Advance. Does it fluctuate month to month?

Yes the residual can change but at the beginning of the model year it should not fluctuate a lot.

There seem to be incentives of approximately $8,000-$9,000 if you look at the "featured" leases for both the PAWS and Hybrid on Acura's website. You would need to go to a dealer to ask about the residual and money factors. You can often do better that a featured lease with knowledge of the exact incentives. interest rate and residuals along with the dealer cost of the car and negotiate from that position.

Good luck-the MMC has made the car more attractive to my eyes.

I don't recall that anyone here has secured a 2018 yet. You may want to ask the experts on leasehackr.com, which has been helpful with leases for me in the past.

Good luck!

I called my dealer yesterday just to see what they are selling their 2018 Sport Hybrid Advance they have in inventory right now. Without hesitation they said $56k flat. Now I don't know if that is based on my being a very good an loyal customer of theirs or if they would provide that price to anyone, but that is what they said. Also with the increase in interest rates recently, the best I would be able to secure for financing is 2.9% for either 60 or 72 months. No I am not thinking of trading in my 2014 for the 2018, but I just checked it out. If they come out with the Precision Crafted Show Car in a turbo hybrid variant, I would run with my title to trade in my current Blackbird for a new one. I only owe about $20k on my nearly free financing schedule, so whatever "equity" I have in it now would roll over as a down payment and I would likely pay even less than I do now even at high interest rates. A car payment makes way more sense in a rising or falling stock market than paying cash based on the opportunity costs, especially when you take depreciation of any vehicle into the mix. But that is a conversation for another day. Go Eagles!

There likely are additional dealer incentives for a lease which would account for the $56,000 price offered to RLX-Sport Hybrid ($6,900 discount) versus the $8,000-$9,000 reflected on Acura's featured lease. It looks like a great time to be in the market for a new RLX !!
