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.

I just walked into a Mazda dealership, and came home with a 2007 Mazada3 in a couple of hours. Could you *please* tell me if I got a good or a bad deal? I don't know if I was impulsive to sign and take it home today.
I leased the S Grand Touring, with spoiler, in Automatic transmission.
MSRP $21,955
Selling price $20,551.32
Gross cap cost $21,399
Zero $ down. 36 months, 15K. monthly payment= $335 incl tax.
inception and first month's payment= $1477.68

I want to lease a 2007 Mazda3 S Sport with the airbag package and the autodim mirror with compass for 36 months. It's MSRP is $19,180. I plan on getting a low mileage package (1200 miles a year). I'm shooting for monthly payments of $200 to $210. How big of a down payment do you think Mazda will want?
