Replying to: murphy123 (Dec 30, 2005 12:58 pm) The Mazda3 is selling very well so I wouldn't hold your breath for a good lease deal.

Replying to: murphy123 (Dec 30, 2005 12:58 pm) Hi murphy123. Unfortunately, Mazda's current lease program on the Mazda3 is not nearly as attractive as the leases that Volkswagen has been offering on the Passat, Saab has been offering on the 9-3, or Audi has been offering on the A4. Given the lack of lease support that is available on this car right now, it couldn't hurt to wait until after January 3rd to lease one. Its lease program can't get much worse. I certainly would finance or pay cash for this car rather than lease it right now. As the previous poster said though, don't hold your breath for an unbelievable lease on this car.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums

Carman,   Thnaks very much for your frank appraisal of the MAzda lease program. I will watch for developments this month...but won't be holding my breath!   Cheers Replies to this message: Car_man (Jan 09, 2006 4:46 am)
#19 of 438 Leasing a Mazda5 by charlotte7 Jan 08, 2006 (4:28 pm)
Car_man, I am looking for the residual and money factor (top-tier money factor if possible) for a 3 year, 12K mile a year lease on an 05 Mazda5 Sport with auto transmission. (I'm comparing this to the Escape lease offer going on now--I test drove and liked both vehicles). Also, if you know how much Mazda's various lease fees were, that would be useful too.   I don't see a forum for Mazda5 lease questions, so please pardon me for posting this here. Thank you so much for your help, and pointing me on to some good leasing resources on Edmunds.   Charlotte Replies to this message: Car_man (Jan 09, 2006 4:51 am) charlotte7 (Jan 09, 2006 6:11 am) Car_man (Jan 31, 2006 3:40 am)

Replying to: charlotte7 (Jan 08, 2006 4:28 pm) Hi Charlotte. I guess that we don't have a Mazda5 lease discussion yet, do we? Let's take a look at the current lease program for the vehicle that you are interested in. According to the latest informaiton that I have seen, if you were to lease a 2006 Mazda5 Sport through Mazda Credit right now for 36 months with 12,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00315 and 51%, respectively. When negotiating your lease on this vehicle, keep in mind that Mazda is providing $1,000 lease cash on it this month. This money will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost. As far as Mazda's fees on leases go, the last time that I saw it, its acquisition fee was $475. In addition to that, you would have to pay a security deposit. I don't believe that Mazda charges a disposition fee.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums Replies to this message: charlotte7 (Jan 09, 2006 6:11 am) Car_man (Jan 31, 2006 3:40 am)

Replying to: Car_man (Jan 09, 2006 4:51 am) Thanks so much, Car_Man! The $1000 lease cash is great, and I have Mazda's S-plan, too, which I assume I can use in conjunction with the lease cash in negotiating a capitalized cost, right? This may work out well, I hope.

Replying to: charlotte7 (Jan 09, 2006 6:11 am) No problem, charlotte7. Yes, you should be able to use the S-Plan pricing as your car's capitalized cost if you decide to lease.   Car_man Host Smart Shopper / Prices Paid Forums
#24 of 438 Mazda AVP Program? - Partyka Mazda, Hamden, CT by carcutiect Apr 17, 2006 (9:48 am)
Hello, everyone! I'm hoping someone can help me out: I am considering a 2006 Mazda 3i 4door sedan w/ touring (white/tan gut ). The local Mazda dealership (Partyka Mazda in Hamden, CT) told me about Mazda's AVP Plan (Assured Value Plan). Evidently, it's somewhat like a lease agreement but I will own the car -- it is in my name. Does anyone know anything about this plan? What are the pros and cons? Thanks!! -CarCutieCT Replies to this message: aviboy97 (Apr 17, 2006 10:26 am) audia8q (Apr 18, 2006 12:47 pm)

Replying to: carcutiect (Apr 17, 2006 9:48 am) CarCutieCT, I am a CT dealer as well. I can shed some light on the subject for you.   The way you pay for the vehicle, it sounds like a lease, but it is not a lease. It is a finance. Your monthly payment is like a lease, and you do have mileage restrictions. i.e. 12K or 15k per year.   Pro's are you do not have to pay a bank fee, security deposit, acquisition fee. Also, the vehicle is registered in your name, so you may get an insurance break. You may trade this vehicle in at any time, unlike a lease, where you may have to go over your contract to see if you can do so. At the end, you can pay the "balloon" payment if you choose to own the car out right, or finance that balance, or just turn the car in. If you are over miles, I believe it is 18 cents a mile.   Con's are not that significant. You do pay more over time as opposed to a general finance. You also pay sales tax on the full amount of the car, as opposed to just a portion like a lease.   I think I about covered it, I may have left a few out, but, I believe I listed the major ones. I hope I have helped you.
