I agree purchasing makes more financial sense. However, I'm looking for a car for my daughter and son to share. And being new drivers, I'm fairly confident they would get into a couple of accidents, which would kill resale value if we were to buy.

It is a 4dr sedan.
Yes, I agree that financing makes more money sense. However, this will be my first long term owned car and I guess I might get some scratches or dents... and I have been a bit unsure of the quality of Mazda, being told by some friends of sad stories of Mazda owners.
I have a question about the payment. The total payment should be:
Price: 21,400- 438(500 grad discount)= 20,962
buy back value: 10,955
so the lease cost should be (20,962-10,955)= 10,007
Should the lease payment be 10,007*1.15/ 48 and factored the 5.9% in. I know it's more complicated than this due to the interest and monthly payment. However, should it be like that?
The final price for the car if I use the buyout later:
327*48=15,696
10,955*1.15=12,598
sum: 28,294
If I buy now: 24,106. It's 4,000 difference...

Yeah, I think, basically, that's how it works.

Why are you getting a Mazda if you are "a bit unsure of the quality of Mazda"? That's a lot of money to throw at something you don't have much confidence in.

I think that's why he's leasing, not buying.

Either way, whether you purchase or lease, what's the point of throwing money at a car you aren't confident in? Why not look for another car?

Probably because the positives outweigh any concern over reliability. That's why the German brands still thrive despite their less-than-stellar reliability records.

Well, I dont' wanna take civic for its outrageous insurance cost and incredible stolen rate in the area I live; no corolla for the access-toyota policy running at Quebec, no nissan for the car is really small, then comes to the Mazda3, one of the hottest car recently. I guess I will give it a try, since I am not a fan of domestic compact cars anyway.

Hi,
Sorry to ask a question that's probably been answered somewhere on this site, but I've spent an hour looking with no luck.
Does anyone know the invoice price for a MZ3 hatchback GT for a 2007 or a 2006?
I'm going to post on the Pricing forum as well, but it seems like it's only US prices there... and I'm in Calgary.
Thanks!

Canadian invoice prices are less easy to find than those of the US. To get a rough idea try adjusting the US price by adding 12% as the exchange rate. The US and Canadian models are comparable but not always the same.
