I could not get the calculator to line up with my actual monthly payment, so I am also attaching the lease sheet. I don’t want to hear any negative comments about this deal. I was going to go with a broker but I would have had to fly down to NYC to get it and the price difference from what the broker quoted me at to my actual monthly payment was not far off.
Not a hackr worthy deal by any means but it was the car I wanted and the price isn’t horrific. Forgot to also mention Mazda waived first month payments so my DAS was just the $500 down plus up front dealer and gov fees
A solid deal in an brutal market is a worthy deal. At a 10% pre-incentive you save $780 on your deal. 1st month waiver incentive isn’t always available so you could look at it as if you missed out on $580 in savings. Stay away from Starbucks for 6 months and you make up the difference. Enjoy your solid deal.
It is helpful to see “hackr worthy” deal posts so you can challenge yourself to push for big discounts.
But it is just as helpful to learn from folks that when in knowing what a good deal looked like, grinded negotiations with 4-7 dealers and shared the best deal possible … at that moment in time … in that market environment. That is the reality for most people on this forum.
