It matters because I am doing 15K/year. At 39 months, thats 48,750 miles on the car (1250/month allowed). If it's only 39 months, I am out of warranty for almost 10K miles. I'm not suggesting you buy or lease a car just because of the warranty but in todays market, with so many leases going over 36 months to make the lease payments more affordable, it seems like most companies are extending their warranty's to a longer term. For example, a Hyundai has one of the best warranty's in the business...something like 10 years and 100K miles but you wouldn't catch me buying or leasing a Hyundai. And as far as the other gentleman that said most people that quote payments on here are liars, what benefit do they get out of this? Are you suggesting it makes them feel good to brag about a low payment that they didn't really get. This happened to us back in 04' when we purchased a new Toyota Sienna XLE Limited. They were brand new and my local dealer was getting full sticker...and wouldn't discount. I went online to a place in Manchester, NH (Autofair Toyota) and they had at the time a one price internet site. They sold it to me at $250 over invoice (now we both know they made more money than that on me with holdbacks and such). I didn't care about what they make. I had it trucked down to Florida for another $500 and still wound up saving about $3,000. The internet department at the local dealer told me there's no way anyone will sell you that van at a couple hundred over invoice. He was wrong and not only that, two of my neighbors wound up buying cars from this same dealer out of state withing a 2 month period of mine. I find that if you call a dealership on the phone, never speak to a salesman but ask to speak right to the sales manager or GSM...has worked for me for many years. They cut you a great deal, especially if you tell them you are outside their normal market and that it's a deal they would otherwise not have made. And, as far as a salesman getting shut out, it doesn't happen. The manager gives it to a salesman to handle after the price of the deal is made and he makes a smaller commission but he still makes one. Everyone walks away happy. My advice is never to go into a car dealer blind and talk to the first salesman that happens to have the next "up" on the list. Happy Shopping. BTW, I am an ex car salesman from many years ago.

You will be out of the bumper to bumper warranty, but, you are covered for 5 years and 60,000 miles on the power train. For 39 months and 15K a year, you are still shy of 50,000. If you are worried about the electronics, then you have reason for concern.

It's never the powertrain warranty I worry about. It's the little things that go wrong. If money were my main concern, I would be driving a Mazda CX9 right now. I do miss having built in Bluetooth and keyless start. I just went Buick because of the bigger size and trying something totally new...not Japanese or German cars. If I'm wrong, I have to live with the decision for 39 months and I'll never go back to American made cars again. Time will tell. I must say though for the money (leasing fully loaded for around $500 to $550/month payments, the Mazda CX9 is a tough act to beat!!!

I would assume this message was directly mostly at me since I recently informed the board of my below market deal. Thank you for calling me a liar. Since we are calling each other names now, I would call car dealers scam artists. Buyers are using information gained by research to try to get a good deal. Dealers use tactics, many of which are pretty shady, to make their deal. I think the statement that should be used is "buyer beware".
Now as for calling me a liar (assuming you were directing your message at me), please provide me your email address and I will glady scan in the paperwork and email it to you. I have no reason to lie about the deal I received. In fact, I invested my own time to post my deal on the board to help others who may also be in the market for a CX-9. That is the only reason I came here in the first place...to find out what people were paying and to try to get the best deal.

Trust me, if it was directed at you, I would have responded to you post directly, and commented to you directly. However, I can see where you would think it was directed at you since you were the last to post. No hard feelings I hope.

I have a chance to lease a 2009 white CX-9 awd Grand Touring. It was driven by a local radio celeb. and has 5,300 miles on it.
Sticker is $38,400.
With discount and lease cash it comes down to $32,000.
A 25K/year 2 year lease w/ $2,500 down is $595.39 / mo.
The same lease for 3 years is $577.26 / mo.
Been driving company cars for the past 5 years.
Is this a good deal or not?
I love the car.
Any help/feedback will be appreciated...trying to get a deal done this week.

I guess it a decent deal only if you need the 25k/miles a year.
Otherwise a brand new CX-9 GT loaded is around $465/month with tax on a 27 month lease with 12000 miles a year (around $1000 due at signing)

I need the 25K miles...shouldn't they take more off the car since it has 5k miles on it?

Aviboy97, are you a salesperson at a Mazda dealership or sales manager? You are very well informed and seem to know quite a bit. If so what dealership do you work at? It's very refreshing to read some of your unbiased comments. Thank you.
