Hi danny14. Mazda is no longer providing support on the 2008 Mazda3, but it does have a special lease program on the 2009 model. Its current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2009 Mazda3s GT 5-Door with 12,000 miles per year are .00260 and 52%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 24 month lease are .00081 and 61%. I do not believe that Mazda is currently providing any cash incentives on this car.

#305 of 828 2008 s Touring by mugenlude

Car_Man when you say they are not supporting the 2008 models any longer what does that mean? Are the 2009 numbers applied to the 2008 models then???
 
I'm looking at a 2008 s Touring with Moonroof/6CD/autodim mirror/rear spolier... I'm looking to see what the residual value is on it, as well as the money factor... could you help me out...
 
Thanks,
-Jason

Hey, new to the forums, but I've narrowed in on purchasing a Mazda3 so I thought I'd post. Here's the lease I'm considering (live in Delaware):
 
2009 Mazda3 sedan
Grand Touring
Black
Manual
Sunroof/Bose Package
 
ZERO down, 12k/36 months
$20,500
Residual value is .55 and interest rate is 5.7%
$380 per month
 
Any thoughts? I've test driven the car 2x (also driven the Saab 93, Volvo S40, Jetta Wolfsburg & SportWagon, WRX, Audi A3, Mini Clubman) and love it, just all around great car. Reviews don't hurt, everyone seems to rank them at or near the top...
 
Thanks.

Hey Jason. Nope I mean that one can no longer lease an '08 Mazda3 through Mazda Credit. Technically one probably would be able to do so, but its standard lease program for the '08 model would be so bad that they wouldn't want to. If you really want to lease a Mazda3 right now, you would be better off going with a 2009 model, though you might be able to lease an '08 through an independent bank.

Hi aviboy97. That sounds like a great discussion for the Future Vehicles section of the CarSpace forums. Here's a link for your convenience: Future Vehicles.

I really hope you didn't end up leasing this car for $380 per month. You could get a loan for $20,500, 60 months 6% for $396. Just $16 more and you could own it. You need to rethink that one.

Well, of course, comparing the long term purchase numbers to a lease doesn't make sense, right? I'm looking for a lease for certain reasons (business write off, new/different car in three years, etc.) that make the lease more appealing - so where should I be for a zero down lease? I'm looking for the best LEASE deal, not the lowest amount out of pocket overall....
 
Thx...

#312 of 828 09 Mazda3 s GT Auto with Sunroof/Bose, Rear Spoiler by tarheelbmw

Car Man,
 
Thanks in advance for you assistance.
 
My girlfriend is looking at a 2009 Mazda 3s Sedan Grand Touring with the Moonroof/Bose Pkg (2MC) and a rear wing spoiler (RSW). The MSRP is 23925 and the dealer quoted us a sale price of 20,488 which I believe is a very good deal.
 
However, I am unaware of the current residual values and Money factors for 24mo/12k and 36/12k leases on this vehicle. Might you have those figures available? I believe these would be different from the 5-door model, but I apologize for wasting your time if these values are idenitcal.

No problem, tarheelbmw. You're right, the lease program for the sedan is slightly different than the program for the 5-Door. Mazda's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2009 Mazda3 S Sedan Grand Touring with 12,000 miles per year are .00285 and 68%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 36 month lease are .00229 and 56%.
