Replying to: proe (Jul 24, 2007 6:13 am) 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? |

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.

I'm completely new to leasing and trying to figure out if this is a good deal to go with. Mazda 3 5 door Grand Touring w/Moonroof + Bose package and other additions MSRP: $23,300 Selling Price: $21,600 36 month lease, 15,000 miles a year No money down Monthly lease payments of $362 ($392 total with local usage tax). Not sure of the residual value/money factor but input would be appreciated. |

I am trying to decide between leasing a 2007 s sport or touring, and identical 2008 s sport or touring. The only options on the cars would be moonroof 6cd pkg, and side curtain airbags on the 2007 s sport. I believe the only difference for 2008 is on the s sport, the side curtain airbags are now standard. The prices on these models for 2007 vs. 2008 are the same, and I have the benefit of S Plan pricing. I need to know what are the residuals and money factors for the 2008 s sport or touring models for 12k and 15k miles. I have, from Carman's post on Aug 1st, the numbers for the 2007 models. I am thinking that the residuals for the 2008 should be higher, but will that make for a better lease deal than on a 2007 with a lower selling price / cap cost? Lastly, the current dealer i am talking with has said there is a 500 rebate on the 2007 Mazda3, but I can't seem to find or confirm that anywhere on the net. I suspect they are just knocking 500 of my s plan price, which may not even be that great of a deal at this point in August. The MSRP on the 2007 s sport with delivery is 19870, and the s plan price with delivery is 18,550...so with the 500 "rebate" its 18,050. I can do the lease payment calculations and find any hidden profit, but I first need to pin them down on the selling price for this 2007 model, otherwise I think leasing the 2008 becomes more attractive. Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks. |
