Hi qbrozen, thanks for your input, but the advertised lease deal is for a stripped down Mazda3, no power, no spoiler and, I think, manual tranny.

actually, i think it was posted here, but we figured the deal to include AC and automatic tranny.
In any case, the options don't affect the deal all that much. If you read back, you'll see my BIL got a 3s touring automatic with SAB, 6cd, and moonroof (right around $20k msrp) for $211/27 mos and $3k down. It would have been about $250 with $2k down.

What's BIL? You apparently got a good deal because you got the moonroof and 6cd. Hey, I have another question. I just did a verbal deal on the phone with one dealership, gave him all info for credit app, then another dealer called and for $2 more a month, the car he has in stock includes compass/auto dimming lights and wheel locks... only difference being he has to add the spoiler and we can't get the car tomorrow, which is when we wanted to surprise our son. Your thoughts? Thanks very much.

BIL = brother-in-law
personally, those extras are worthless to me, so i wouldn't pay $2 or wait for the car. but that's just my opinion. you may WANT those things.
You really should look at the 2-year deal. You may be surprised. The number is probably amazingly close to your 3-year deal, if not better. That just happens to be where the mazda incentives are right now.
should be easy enough. Just call the dealer you've already got the verbal with and ask him what the payment would be on the same car, same down, for 2 years, because you've read that mazda has great 2-year deals right now.

How long do you want the car for? 2 or 3 years? I still think that what they offered you is a good deal with all those options.

Hi Stallionre. We're picking up the car for our son today. I leased it for three years...don't want to shop again in two. The only question left is whether to go for 12k miles a year or 15, which ups the monthly another 10 bucks. The wife prefers the lower payment ($239.00). By the way, the first dealer told me after I posted yesterday that the car DOES have those little extras, the compass/auto dimming lights and wheel locks. So bottom line is $1994 out the door and $239 a month...based on purchase price of $17,356.

My lease payment will be $237 a month, not $239.

Yeah, but your BIL put 3k down...we're putting $1990 down, and my son actually does not want a moonroof, and doesn't need a 6cd player...and our monthly payment is $237, taxes included.

As I explained, $2k down would have made his payment $250, including taxes. Knock off the extra options and it would be right in the neighborhood of your payment.
Hey, its whatever you need, right? Good luck with the car. enjoy.
