#392 of 445 Re: July Lease Rates [tbrouillard] by igozoomzoom Jul 09, 2009 (12:52 am)
Replying to: tbrouillard (Jul 07, 2009 12:57 pm) Let's deal with one issue at a time....   Current Lease You're $1850 over in mileage on the Nissan and you have three months left on the lease $350 per month. So if you turned the car in today, you'd end up paying $2900. Not a good thing!   Do you know the residual value of the Nissan (established in the lease contract)? I'm just thinking that you might be better off buying the Nissan for that price rather than paying for the excess mileage. Residual values on leases are usually low-balled somewhat to bump the monthly lease payments up a bit. I would check the contract to see what the Residual Value figure is, then check on Edmunds (and KBB) to see how much the car is actually worth.   Turning it in early- are you wanting to do this because the excess mileage cost for the next three months will be greater than the $1050 in payments? If not, you really should hang on to it until the lease is up. Current Mazda Lease Specials- the only lease special I currently see is on the 2010 Mazda3 s Sport 5-door Automatic (w/ no other options). It's a 42 month lease, $279 per month, $0 due at signing, 12k miles per year (42k over the term of the lease) and $0.15/mile overage.   Buying vs. Leasing- are you sure that leasing your next vehicle is a better choice than buying it? Will you end up having excess mileage on the next car, too? If you drive more than the typical 12-15k per year allowed, buying is almost always the better choice!   Mazda is currently offering 3.9% APR for 60 months on the Mazda3. $22k financed for 60 months at 3.9% would be $404 per month.

Replying to: igozoomzoom (Jul 09, 2009 12:52 am) I got a quote from a dealer that is a 2010 mazda 3 sport rolling over excess mileage and early termination for $370/month with only $300 down. This is the 42 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Nissan has a program where they will pay the remaining 3 months of the lease if you turn it in early and lease with them again. What do you think about the mazda lease quote? I think that it is fair based on my conditions. Besides, if I go with a nissan, I can only get a base altima or rogue for the same payments when in reality im looking for something more sporty such as the 3 Replies to this message: qbrozen (Jul 09, 2009 7:18 am) kushalsherpa (Jul 27, 2009 9:19 am)

Replying to: tbrouillard (Jul 09, 2009 4:38 am) Ouch. I hope 15k is enough for you. $370/mo to rent an economy hatch is alot of money. You don't want to keep digging your hole deeper. So as long as you will keep this the full term and not go over the miles, and if you absolutely must have a new car, then it is what it is. Good luck to you.

Considering to buy a Mazda 3 Sport (Manual) in NH, i was wondering if the Money Factor changes according to the dealers or state or month? What is for this month? What's the Residual value for Mazda 3 sport, 36 or 42 month lease? All i want to do is drive mazda 3s with monthly payment around $179. How much down do i have to put it in? If someone could answers these questions i would really appreciate it ! Replies to this message: kingpcgeek (Jul 21, 2009 2:31 pm) scubadoo2 (Jul 27, 2009 4:49 am) Car_man (Aug 07, 2009 1:49 am)
#398 of 445 '10 Mazda 3 Sport Manual Invoice Price by kushalsherpa Jul 21, 2009 (6:24 am)
MSRP for 2010 Mazda 3 Sport (Manual) is $19990 and the invoice price is $18766. Does anyone know in general how much could the dealers go down from the invoice price? Would be price be different for leasing or buying? Can they go down $1000, $2000 etc? Replies to this message: Car_man (Aug 07, 2009 1:53 am)

Replying to: kushalsherpa (Jul 21, 2009 5:40 am) Mazda's in general are not good cars to lease so there isn't much traffic here. Why don't you just ask a dealer or two what they are? They can't mess with the residual, but can bump up the MF. If the MF is the same from both you know they probably are not doing so. One problem with leasing from Mazda is that you are actually leasing from Chase, since Mazda credit doesn't write leases anymore. Banks typically have worse terms then manufacturer's credit departments.   FYI you should never lease longer then a warranty. So a 42 month lease should not be an option for you.   You also do not want to "put down" money to get to a certain payment. Perfect explanation from leasecompare.com:   Because you pay for the use of a vehicle during a lease, you should put as little money down as possible, up front. Although putting money down can lower your lease payments (by reducing your capitalized cost) in most cases it cannot be regained in the event of early termination due to a loss.   For example, a customer once leased a Toyota 4Runner and put $3,000 down as a cap reduction. Five months later the vehicle was totaled in an accident. The client's insurance paid its portion of the lease payoff and Gap Insurance paid the balance. Our client walked away with only paying his insurance deductible but he did not get reimbursed for his initial down payment of $3,000. It was lost.   The moral of this true story is to put as little money down as possible,ideally no money down. Here are some other things to consider:   - Money down is taxable - Take the money you would have put down and invest it - Put your down payment in a savings account and use a portion each month to help make your lease payment Replies to this message: scubadoo2 (Jul 27, 2009 4:49 am)

Replying to: kingpcgeek (Jul 21, 2009 2:31 pm) Very good point regarding the "no down payment", however, I would like to add to your other comments. The Mazda 3 is actually a very good car to lease, especially recently. The 3 year residual is around 60% and there are few if any cars around that number any more. Also, you are correct that Chase is underwriting the lease but Mazda provides lease support in terms of residual value. It is my understanding that Mazda assumes the risk for the car being worth less than the residual. If not, I seriously doubt that any bank would be leasing cars anymore except with 30% residuals. Chase wrote off hundreds of millions a few years ago on lease residuals.

Replying to: tbrouillard (Jul 09, 2009 4:38 am) I just got a 2010 Mazda 3i Touring, Base Pkg, Manual Trans for $0 Down, 10000 miles, 36 months lease for $189/month with $295 fee in Ira Mazda Danvers, MA. This was the best deal i could every find. After $1000 down, my payment came out to be $164/month. Even though i go over in mileage, its only 15 cents/mile.   Ira Danvers had the best deal around Mass and New Hampshire
