Hello... We are looking at a Mazda3 for our daughter... very nice car. We went to Mitchell Mazda in Enterprise, Alabama today and got a quote on a 36 month lease. I wish I had paid closer attention to the car though, because I'm not totally sure of the details. If I'm not terribly mistaken this unit had the 6 disc in-dash CD changer, satellite radio and I believe floor mats. It listed for around $18500-18700. I remember them showing me the invoice and I want to say it was around $17200-17300. I may be a $100 or so off. The unit is red, 2.0 liter engine, automatic... I think it's the i Touring 4dr sedan. Initially they quoted us zero down and $322 month. Of course I wasn't even going to consider that much per month. They came back at me with zero down and $286 month or $1500 down and $256 month. Ultimately the best deal he offered me was $500 down and $269 month... and that was supposedly the best they could do. He said they were selling it at invoice. The lease quotes are all 36 months and include the wear and tear coverage, with 10,500 miles per year, which is plenty for our daughter. She averages less than 500 miles per month. For $17300 or there abouts, does $500 down, 36  $269 sound reasonable? We may go ahead a pop $1000 down and see where that gets us... or is it better to pay more down? I guess it makes sense to pay more down and not pay the lease fees on that portion. Thanks!

Looking at a 5door touring which i think includes the SAB and stability control standard. Would consider a sunroof but not a required option. We are thinking about pulling the trigger now or waiting until labor day when we will actually need the car. While the rates look good now, anyone have any reason to believe that lease deals or selection will be in September? If I opt for Man Tran, does your answer change? Thanks.

Replying to: audia8q (May 08, 2007 10:04 am) I guess the question now is whether the supply will remain constant for the 07s (i.e. are they making more?). If not, will the lease rates change significantly that I will not regret waiting until September. Put another way, if I can't talk the wife into an stick and I'm stuck with the auto, will there be screaming deals at model year end that will make me feel better? |

Hi Carman, could you please give me the residual % and money factor for super preferred/preferred/standard credit tiers for a 24-month lease on a i Touring 4dr 5A mazda3? Thanks!

Replying to: sonnie (Apr 28, 2007 6:02 pm) It is definitely not in your best interest to make a down payment when leasing. Consumers can and should lease any vehicle that they want without making any capitalized cost reduction. Those who make one risk losing it if their vehicle is totaled in an accident or stolen and never recovered. Car_man Host Prices Paid Forum
