manufacturer subsidizing and your credit score.
 
Your deal seems REALLY high, unless the manufacturer support went away recently.

That sounds too high! Plus, you're putting
3,000 down. $356.45 a month lease for 36 months? On a $17,000 car? I remember back in 1995 when I bought a used 1995 Nissan Altima GLE, loaded to the gills. The total selling price was under $17,000 and after financing it for 60 months, and that was to purchase, not to lease, my monthly payment was only $339.00 a month. And even after my purchase, I still didn't think I got such a great deal back then. I would keep looking if I was you. I would think you should be betting under $300 a
month payments based on this price.

Just got home from the dealer:
 
2008 mazda 3 5 door, no options, manual transmission, 3yr. lease, 12000 miles per year.
 
msrp= 18520
cap cost= 17500
residual= 56%
money factor, unsure but around = to 6% interest rate
was quoted 311 per month, 670 down (1st month, doc fee, registration)
311 includes 5 % massachusetts sales tax, and excise taxes for 3 years, gap insurance.
 
Still seems a little high, what do you think?

Greetings merrydinnc. The best way to get a good deal on a lease is to negotiate the lowest possible selling price and then have the dealer that gives you that price calculate your lease payment using its buy rate lease money factor. Shop around and negotiate a selling price that is as close to dealer invoice as possible on the Mazda3 that you want. You should be able to get an idea of how much you will have to pay for this car by visiting the following discussion: "Mazda3: Prices Paid & Buying Experience".
 
Once you have a selling price that you are comfortable with, have the dealer calculate your lease payment using its buy rate lease money factor. Vehicles' money factors vary by trim level and term. If you tell me exactly which Mazda3 you are interested in and how long you want to lease it for, I can tell you what its current money factor should be.
