I'm looking at both the RDX and EX35. The manufacturer's have the following incentives for March:- Acura: $1500 off for a lease, and they will go off of INVOICE (don't go a penny more)- Infiniti: Super-aggressive money factor on 24-month leases (.00025 vs. .00074 for the RDX); better residuals than Acura (63% for EX vs. 58% for RDX)
Factor all this in and assuming the following:- RDX Tech MSRP is $37,410 and cap cost is $33,229 (I have to add $300 for marketing in AZ)- EX35 Journey RWD (with Nav, Premium, Luxe Style, Roof Rails, Cargo Protector) MSRP is $41,485 and cap cost is $37,868- 18K miles/year, reducing residual amounts by $600 (3000 miles/year x 2 years x .10/mile)- No fees rolled in to the cap cost- No cap cost reduction
The monthly payments, before tax, work out to be:- RDX: $545.66- EX35: $529.68
Umm...fricking WOW!!
