2019 Acura MDX--New to leasing

Hi, I’m new to leasing. Is this a good offer? I know we shouldn’t, but we were thinking about putting some money down to lower the payment. Still undecided about leasing…thoughts?

Acura MDX 2019
MSRP $45,295.
Selling price $39,358
MF .001%
Residual value is $26,271
12K miles per year
$492 per month (includes tax)

How much due at signing?

A base MDX has $2500 of Acura to Dealer incentive. I think you should be shooting for 10% off before incentives - so a sale price of ~$38,265. Basically I think you have another grand in your deal. Good news is they’re giving you buy rate on the MF.

They said that “drive offs are roughly $1,200.”

Basically first month, tags, registration, and taxes. Also, if you qualify for loyalty or conquest, that shaves another $1000 off in incentives. Also I typoed, the incentive on base is $2800, not $2500.

Assuming ~$550 in registration costs and 9.5% tax…

Add $32 if you don’t qualify for the loyalty/conquest rebate.

What dealer did you get this offer from? Any counter offers? I had a broker on here tell me he couldn’t do $480 mo 15k miles on a base MDX.
