It all depends on the lease terms. For example, two years ago Mazda had $2k in MAC lease rebates on RX-8 cars. They also had a money factor under 3%. I got mine for $500 under invoice less a $500 Gerber rebate then less the $2k in MAC rebates. So I was $2k ahead of where I would be if I purchased plus really cheap money. I ran the numbers, if I leased then purchased for residual (and financed that) compared to just financing from the start I would could out just fine.
 
The lease bank is taking all the risk on future value, not you. In the case of the 8, resale and trade values are in the toilet. If you had purchased the car and financed you would be upside down a long time on the car. With the lease, the car may not be worth the buyout at the end - so you just turn it in and walk away. The 8 may be the first car I have ever had to turn in, in all my other lease deals I managed to find someone to buy my car at or before the lease was up. I made anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand depending on the market and the car.
 
The key to any deal - lease, loan, or cash - is getting a good price at the start, then getting a good finance package (if not paying cash). If you get the car cheap with cheap money, you will usually come out OK.
 
The other thing "lease haters" don't get is the freedom of no trade in. I go get my new cars at cheap prices with no trade worries or hassles. Folks that hate (don't understand) leases probably also get ripped on their trade each time. If you do not sell your old car yourself, you are losing money - and most folks do not. So even if the lease cost is MORE than buying, losing thousands on your trade later will make that up.

I know it's not the best deal in the world, but we purchased an 07 Mazda6 HB SVE auto 4cyl for $19k after rebates and negotiation. We might have been able to get less if we waited the dealer out a little longer, but we paid well under invoice, and it was the only one we saw in the color we wanted (Tungsten Gray). This dealer also gave us the best value for our trade.
I have always found that if you go into the dealer knowing what you want intermsa of car and price, and you're patient, you will be satisfied at the end. We waited the dealer out for four weeks, and ended up very close to our goals for trade in value and price on a very good new car.

What extras come on this model? Was at the dealership on Friday getting maintenance work done on the 3s and couldn't find any on the lot.

The 06 grand touring s wholesales for about 18000 now with about 16000 miles on it so personally I would want to pay about 21xxx ish for a new one.
 
Good Luck

Well, since about $5000 below MSRP seems to be pretty available on the 2007 model, I guess I'd be looking to get maybe around $6000 off on a new 2006??? So a $4300 discount does not sound too great to me, but it all depends on how badly you want this particular car now and how interested the dealer is in getting rid of it.
