Acura 25th Anniversary Offers: 0.25% Lease for 25 Months on New 2012 Acura Models & More!

Wed, 14 Dec 2011 21:31:24 +0000

If you're in the market for a new and upscale 2012 car, now is a good time to check out what Acura has to offer. They are celebrating their 25th anniversary and for a limited time, they are offering a competitive 0.25% lease rate for 25 months on select new 2012 Acura vehicles. The Acura models that qualify for the 0.25% lease offer vary from province to province.

If you live in Ontario, you can lease the Acura TSX (Model CU2E4CJ) for $288 per month with a down payment of $4,400 + other applicable fees (offer ends February 29, 2012). Also, Acura will help take care of your first $1,000 lease payments (the amount varies by province).

If you're more interested in buying a car outright, the Acura TSX starts at $33,920 (price based in Ontario, includes freight, PDI + other costs and excludes applicable taxes). Right now is actually a sweet time to own a 2012 Acura since they are offering complimentary maintenance for 25 months on all 2012 Acura vehicles purchased between September 1, 2011 and February 29, 2012 or with 50,000 KM (whichever occurs first).

Designated Hybrid and Fuel Efficient Car Parking at IKEA

Thu, 01 Jan 1970 05:00:00 +0000

IKEA has added a minimum of two spaces per store designated as Green parking spots at each of their 11 IKEA Canada locations. The Green parking spots are for hybrid cars or any cars that use less than 6.5L of gas per 100km.

It's a nice touch from IKEA who has been focusing on efficient packaging and transportation to keep prices low, but to also help support the environment.
