I'd be happy to help you out, dpodola. Mazda's November buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Mazda3 5-Door i Touring with 12,000 miles per year are .00173 and 61%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
The residual value for a lease with only 10,000 miles per year would be 1% higher.

Car_Man:
 Hi. Im looking to lease a skyactiv i grand touring 4 door. Are MF and residuals freely available or is it costly to subscribe to ALG?
 
When leasing, should I negotiate monthly payments or start with the purchase price. Ive been to one dealer and they would only talk monthly payments and would not give me any information about the MF or residual. Also, another dealer is asking for almost 1400 for a acquisition fee. They gave me the option of bundling that into the monthly lease price but isnt 1400 inflated!? Should I negotiate that ?
 
Any tips on how to approach salesmen regarding a lease would be great. I found some very helpful information on the web regarding calculation of montly lease prices but I have no idea what the true MF and residuals are. I think with those two numbers I can get an accurate idea of whether the salesperson is trying to add in extra costs.
 
Hope you can provide some info/advice/insight

Hi dpodola,
Just wondering if you ended up with a Focus or a M3?

Hi liabear,
 
We ended going with the Ford Focus. We test drove both extensively, and having owned a 2004 Mazda 3, I did appreciate what the '12 version did bring to surface, most notably the increased fuel efficiency and extra gears. However, at the end of the day, we went ahead an purchased a 2012 Ford Focus SEL Hatchback. First and foremost, we were very impressed with the fit and finish of the Focus. This was unlike any focus we've seen in recent years, and it's obvious Ford has designed a car that begins to stand out from the usual class of small fuel efficient cars. Honestly, you can't go wrong between the Focus and Mazda 3. This is a daily commuter car for our purposes, but also designed well enough to fit our child seat and a trunk full of groceries. And yes, it's VERY fun to drive, it has just to right amount of pep, and zip to enjoy in and out of town.

Hi damien7. ALG is relatively expensive to purchase access to, plus it wouldn't necessarily be accurate for this car's lease program either. Chase publishes the lease program for Mazda vehicles and it is not required to use ALG's residual values, not to mention the fact that ALG would not be able to tell you what Mazda's money factors are like.
 
Chase's December buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2012 Mazda3 Grand Touring Sedan with 15,000 miles per year are .00156 and 56%, respectively for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
 
A $1,400 acquisition fee is outrageous. Chase charges a base fee of only $595 on every vehicle that it leases. Make sure the dealer doesn't gouge you like this.

Turns out I was wrong. They were quoting me all fees . The bank acquisition fee was the normal 595$
 
Where Can i find the publication of Chase's rates and residuals. What would be the residual and MF on an iGT 36/12k lease.
 
The best quote I got from a dealer was a monthly payment of 251 with 1353 out of pocket.

Hi Jamie. Mazda's lease program varies by region. What state are you in?
