Looking for a deal on Mazdas

[cheeseboi1456]

Man, am I looking at this right? The only decent deals I’ve seen so far for a Mazda 3 is 235/m with a 2k DaS. that seems really high for a car that’s 23,645. thought? I’m in NY so maybe thats why the deals aren’t great.

I’m not surprised: I see 851 currently in the US, and Mazda has been especially impacted by shortages. If any brokers are still selling Mazda, I’d start there.

1. Shortages in General
2. Mazda specifically
3. NY doesn’t allow MSDs

I would look at another brand, less affected by shortages, and (for the bonus) one that allows MSDs if you lease out of state

Mazda will reject funding on MSD deals even if out of state deal for NY customers. Overall huge PITA for even states that allow them. There’s always a ton of issues with funding

Relative to what? What were your expectations and what were those based on?

I was wondering if it was all of TFS or just Lexus.
