I am new here. Thought I would share my 2017 NSX acquisition experience, as there is no one on here that has talked about the "Acura NSX Leasing incentive program", and how it has and is affecting depreciation.
The ONLY reason I have one, is the unreal discounting that dealers were offered by Acura to help move left overs at the end of the 2017 model year, just before the 2018's were to be delivered. My car's MSRP was $200,500. Berlina black, with all the options except the full leather seating. Mine has the red leather and black alcantara inserts, which I much prefer. The first dealer I talked to that had this identical configuration car velvet roped in their showroom gave me a lease price that dropped $30K right off the top from Acura, and they quickly dropped another $20K off from the dealers profit. So at $150K I considered the car a bargain I could not ignore. I showed up the next day for a test drive and $30K in cash to seal the deal. They sold it to a guy who test drove it before me. I was waiting at the curb to get my turn to drive when he came back with the car. Never drove it.
I was upset, and searched the country for another one like that one and found an identical one in the Chicago area. Made a similar lease deal over the internet. Had it delivered to me in Texas. Only 3 miles on the odometer.
The lease incentive discounts are now being used for the new 2019's although I think they are now $20K on a brand new 2019.
