Replying to: enp14 (Oct 10, 2007 8:47 pm) My Mazda dealership keeps telling me there are no special lease rates on the CX-9 at this time. I want a 36m/12k lease . I am already leasing TWO Mazdas, you'd think they'd want more of my business! Anyone hear of any good leases deals on the CX-9???? Thanks, Bob Replies to this message: dag373 (Oct 11, 2007 11:29 am)

Replying to: coasterbob (Oct 11, 2007 4:31 am) As I understand it there are 2 factors accounting for the more attractive Volvo lease plans...   1. Volvo is offering handsome kickbacks to the dealer. They can be as high as $8K. This is putting money in the buyers pocket resulting in lower cost financing/leasing. Also, Vovlo does work through third party banks frequently that offer better rates than they may get through their own bank.   2.. Supply and Demand - I believe Vovlo manufacturing and importing has far exceeded purchasing. Therefore, Vovlo is more willing to negotitate. Last year, Mazda manufactured only 25,000 CX-9's. This year they will manufacture 40,000. Therefore, they are not as apt to negotiate as favorable of a deal even though the sticker price suggests the Volvo should lease higher.   I leased the CX-9 after testing both (my wife had her heart set on the XC90)however quickly fell in love (and preferred the feel) of the CX-9 after a first test drive. Absolutely no regrets. Actually, enthusuastic about our decision. We managed a great deal on our end of year CX-9 Touring. Ended up bettering the good deal Volvo was offering.   Good luck

I'll be testing the Mazda CX-9 (and CX-7) this Thursday. We're also test driving a used Volvo XC-90's (2006 V8) to buy. That said I'll have to check into a lease of a new Volvo after reading this. I assumed the Volvo were a bit too high priced to consider. I'll post here when I've done that.   In looking on Edmunds though the TMV for the CX-9 is very close to MSRP. I'm guessing the dealers wont be anxious to offer a good price?

Replying to: coasterbob (Sep 29, 2007 7:18 am) I, too, narrowed it down to these two. Lease prices were close enough not to be a consideration.   In the end I chose the CX-9 because you can't find an V-6 XC90 with Xenon lights AND the second and third row seats are roomier. I'm 5'-9" and fit comfortable in the Mazda but do not fit in the Volvo. My daughter, who is 14 and 5'-1" says her knees touch the second row seats when she is in the third row of the Volvo.
