Predict the future anyone? by wilkich84

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.

If your looking for a manual tranny in the northeast they are in very short supply...So your location might help you to decide when to buy. If your in the northeast, waiting won't help...the deal doesnt matter if you can't get the car.

Thanks for the response. I'm in Northern California. The sales guy at the Oakland dealership did mention they were short but I thought he was full of it.
 
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?

heck, 5-door models in the NE seem to be in short supply regardless of tranny. when i took my brother-in-law to lease his 4-door, the dealer didn't have a single 5-door on the lot, but had at least 30 sedans.

Hi sonnie. Let's use Mazda's current lease program to estimate what this car's payment should be and see what we come up with. According to my calculations, if you were to lease a 2007 Mazda3 s Sedan that has an MSRP of $18,600 and a selling price of $17,250 through Mazda Credit for 36 months with 10,500 miles per year, your zero down, pre-tax monthly payment would be around $232. The $286 per month payment that you were quoted is considerably higher than this even if it does include tax. Make sure that the dealer that you are working with is using Mazda Credit's buy rate lease money factor of .00220 and its residual value of 57% to calculate your monthly payment.
 
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.

Here you go, sphinxridd. Mazda Credit's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2007 Mazda31 Touring with 15,000 miles per year are .00221 and 68%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier. I'm not sure what the factors are for its lower credit tiers.

Hold on. The no down payment advice is the first time I have ever heard that. I thought that it would be a good idea to lower your payment. We're hitting a 2 year cash crunch ( 2 preschools in Northern CA) and I've been thinking of just putting the tax return into a lease down payment to keep the payment around $200. I guess I could keep the cost down by having a higher residual or should I just swallow the higher payment. This is all good to know.
 
FYI I'm looking at the 3s Touring Hatch with auto with sun/CD package.

More info. A 24 month low mileage (10-12k) lease best fits our needs.
