2011-12 Acura Lease Rates – August 2011

Acura lease rates remain practically unchanged with the exception of the RL, which had it’s residual drop by 1%. The TL is a fairly good lease this month. There is $1,000 Dealer Cash and $500 Dealer Bonus Lease Cash (this looks like a regional incentive). If you are a returning customer, you get an additional $750!!! See the first calculation below for an example of what returning customers would be looking at on a lease!

For those who are new to Acura, you are looking at a bump of about $20 per month since you don’t qualify for the $750 loyalty cash.

Alternatively you can lease the car at invoice and apply the cash towards your drive-off and do a $0 drive-off deal since the $1500 (returning customers will have extra cash left over to pay down the cap cost) should cover your inception fees.

Overall, you are looking at the TL sold at invoice PLUS all rebates as the target price. I’m quite sure that if you approach your dealer with that offer, most will agree to it.


Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.

  1. G; Edmunds is not showing the extra $500 you speak of, only the $1000 and $750. My dealers says there isn’t a $500 as well either?

    • @randy. Looks like it might be a West Coast thing. I’m still seeing it listed as part of the incentives here in Southern California.

    • @mack. I believe it only applies to leases since it’s Lease Cash.

      “Acura Advantage AFS Lease Cash is available towards leasing to current owners or lessees of a 2000 model year or later Acura going into an Acura Financial Services (AFS) Lease or Leadership Purchase Plan (LPP) for a minimum of 24 months. Must finance through Acura Financial Services. Offer is not combinable with $0 due at signing leases. Offer may be transferred to immediate family members residing in the same household. If new vehicle is not currently in stock, then customer may choose to enter into the Lease Extension Plan and/or the Commitment Plan. See participating dealer for details.”
