auto or manual trans?
 
this is the deal on mazda's website:
$249/Month, 24-Month Lease, $2,249 due at Lease Signing. Includes 1st Month's Payment. Excludes taxes, title and fees.
 
that is for a 3s sport with auto trans at 12k miles/year. now, of course what is missing there is title and fees. It is also for a 24-month lease as opposed to your 36-month deal.
 
So I would say, off the top of my head, it seems fair. I mean, you are putting another $250 down, which may cover about half the fees. $250 in fees rolled into the lease is roughly $7 per month. Plus your quote is $25/month less ... all of that is of course because you are taking it for an extra year.
 
All in all, I don't know if what they are quoting you is exactly right because I don't have all the numbers, but it seems at least darn close. What you REALLY need to know is the selling price. If it is MSRP, then I'm sure you could do better.

its the auto trans. and as far as the selling price she quoted me 16,996 for an 2.0i touring and 220-240 a month with the same down payment. i think i might be leaning twards the 2.0 but im still not sure. of course the 2.0 gets better gas mileage but im just not sure yet if i need the extra hp. i know its only around 10 or so more hp which in my opinion doesent really make a diff at that point. anyone have opinions on this one? in your guys opinion should i go with an i touring or a 2.3 sport?

my bro-in-law felt the 2.3 was well worth the 1-2 mpg hit. but that's something you have to drive and decide for yourself. it isn't just a 10 hp difference, though, i can tell you that much. I mean, it might appear that way, but the larger displacement also typically means a flatter torque curve, which makes a much bigger difference in daily driving.
 
wow. an '07 Charger? that's gonna be a hell of a depreciation hit.

thats good to know. i didnt really think of it that way. but i totally get your point there. its definetly going to be a daily driver and i dont know if i could bring myself to getting the 2.0 just because i know the 2.3 is alot more fun to drive on a daily basis correct?

08 S Grand Touring Manual Lease..Help!!! by damianinpa
Oct 11, 2007 (1:57 pm)

Just got back from the dealer..wanted to price an '08 S grand touring with Bose package/spoiler/Sirius at S plan pricing (invoice) No money down except 1st month payment. 2 year 15K lease. He quoted me $443 a month! That seems very high to me.
Can anyone confirm these numbers:
Stick Shift residual is 64% and money factor is .0029
Price was S plan pricing which was about 21,400K.
$439 a month...I could probably buy the car for less per month. Anyone think this is right???????

damianinpa, The S-Plan price without the spoiler/Sirius is $20,360.00. So, it's an extra $1,040 for those two items??!!
Also, my guess is that your money factor is a bit too high. I'd say with a factor .00152 it should take you to $370 a month with no down. That should be a more reasonable amount. It may depend on your current credit score.
 
Good luck to you

I'll have to check the numbers, but, I'm fairly sure it was about 21K. No doubt though, the money factor was .0029 and they did NOT run credit. He stated this was based on top credit of Tier 0. I'm going to call another Mazda dealor today. I guess it is possible that the 2 year factor is this high. He quoted me $389 a month for a 3 year lease. Still, Toooo much! I can get a Mid-side Ford Fusion for $380 a month for 2 years!

the lease specials on the mazda site use a much lower MF. I don't know what exactly, but it is most definitely not what you were quoted. The dealer is either quoting you full bank rates or they are marking up mazda's rate.
 
Personally, to avoid confusing the matter, I would call a dealer (if they will give you this info over the phone is another matter) and ask them what the MF and residual is for mazda's advertised deals on their website.

OK..just got back from another Mazda dealer and here are the real numbers. S Grand touring stick shift has residual of 64%. Auto would be 66%. Money Factor is .00229 Payment for S grand touring with Bose/moonroof (S plan pricing) would be $399 for 2 year 15k miles and $350 for 3 years 15k miles. Those are the real numbers...still seems High, but, that is it. I'm thinking of going Ford since the leases are better.
