Hello all, Here is the currently proposed deal with no money down. 2007 Mazda3 GT 5 door with Bose/sunroof package and automatic transmission. MSRP $22,775 Selling price $21,805 Residual 64% Money factor .00154 Taxes $1,095 (taxes are 5% in Maryland) Acquisition fee $595 Processing fee $99 The monthly payment would be $443.27 What does everyone think? I have a few questions. Are taxes figured out on the total cost of the vehicle or on the monthly payment? Should I pay the taxes up front or put them into the monthly payment? Is the acquisition fee and processing fee negotiable? Any other comments would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |

Replying to: qbrozen (Sep 05, 2007 6:46 am) I calculated the lease on my own came up with an an approximate payment of $375. I'm not sure how taxes are calculated in Maryland - up front on the total selling price or by the monthly payment price. Thanks in advance for any suggestions and/or advice.

Replying to: pfje (Sep 05, 2007 7:52 am) But, at that monthly price, I'd buy the car.. You'd get the same payment over 60 months, more or less.. Unless you are upside-down on a trade, that price seems way out of line...

Replying to: pfje (Sep 05, 2007 5:20 am) What is the adjusted capcost? If your payment is correct, then the adjusted cap is substantially higher than the sell price of $21,805. Even if you cap the sales tax and acquisition fee, the total amounts to $23,495. Using this as an adjusted cap triggers a payment of $430.25 or about $13 less than your payment. Your payment suggests an adjusted cap of $23,796.24. Looks as though there is an additional $300 coming from somewhere. You're not providing enough information for me to respond intelligently. Something is missing. I have no clue how you arrived at the $443.27 payment. Taxes appear to be based on $21,900 ($1,095/0.05). Looks a little shakey to me. I need a break down of the adjusted cap.

Replying to: delta737h (Sep 06, 2007 1:39 am) Thanks for your response. This is the response I received from the dealership: New 2007 Mazda3s 5-door Grand Touring Auto Moonroof and Bose 6cd in-dash changer. - MSRP $22,775.00 Your Special Internet Price is $21,805.00* TAGS $202.00 RESIDUAL 64% MONEY FACTOR 0.00154 TAXES $1,095.20 PROCESSING CHARGE $99.00 ACQUISITION FEE $595.00 PAYMENTS ON 24 MONTHS WITH JUST 1ST PAYMENT UPFRONT IS $ 443.27 I have not met with the dealership in person. Correspondence has been using email. Therefore, I have not seen their payment formula. Before I respond I was hoping for helpful comments (like yours) from the members of this forum. Any comment would be greatly appreciated.

Replying to: pfje (Sep 07, 2007 5:01 am) Using edmunds calculator, I've gotten close to their figures. Since you have to pay all the tax on the car, that makes a big difference. If I use the calculator and roll in the processing fee and taxes into the cap cost (total of $22,999), I come up with $453. However, the edmunds calculator insists on a security deposit, so that may be why its coming up a bit high. Based on all of this, I would be looking to finance for 5 years if I were you. It would be almost exactly the same price, but you'd avoid the acquisition fee and any mileage restrictions. |
