AHFC says 56% Residual KBB says 62%??

I want to lease a TL, but the residual AHFC is using for the lease calculations is 56% and it is making the lease payments very unappealing (even with an attractive price under MSRP, 12k miles and .00211 MF).

This USA Today article references a kbb 3 year residual as 62% on a 05 Acura TL. How are the two estimated residuals so far apart? Is that normal? Is there a chance AHFC's residual estimate will increase?

The difference between a 56% residual and a 62% residual on this car is approximately $40/month.

Anyone know if there are any lending institutions that use the kbb estimated 62% residual?

Great question. I got 55% after 42 months (same as 39 months); AHFC stated 57% for 36 months. I would shop around - I had great experience with Chase Auto Finance on my last two cars.

I'm also gonna lease i think.

using:
- MF of .0021 (stated above)
- 36 month residual of 62%
- 33,000 Cap cost
- 7.75% CA tax

i get a total lease payment of $489

Is this about what people are paying?
