This is not exactly a SIGNED post but it was close to being one.
I signed on another car because this Mazda dealer was 2 hours too late to approve this deal for me… But they did eventually approve, his call just came too late.
This would be an amazing deal for anyone looking at CX-50 Premium trim, IMO.
$1,000 down payment
$1,274 in fees
$2,274 total DAS
33 months
15k miles/year
$36,255 MSRP
$22,116 Residual Value (61%)
Money Factor: 0.00074 (Mazda Special Lease Rate)
$33,500 Sales Price (7.6% discount from MSRP)
$500 Mazda Loyalty Bonus
$1,000 Down Payment
= $32,000 Adjusted Capitalized Cost
Looks like a good deal! We are looking for one of these for my wife. Unfortunately, I am in NJ, but perhaps can use this deal as a metric in my search. Thanks for posting!
That is a great tip to know about the 33 months term. I’m not super experienced with negotiating car leases honestly, and would usually walk in to a dealer.
Are there any specific reasons as to what I would want to nail down via email or phone first before I go in? Or, is it just better to do everything that way usually?
You need to have access to the lease calculator on this forum.
I can’t stress that enough.
Just pay $10 or whatever it asks of you.
From there just pick the exact car you want to lease and play around with the calculator to get to the monthly number that you desire.
Once you have this number, the calculator will show you exactly how it got to that number.
Then you need to take all of those numbers and send them to the dealer as a formal lease proposal.
Once the dealer sees that you have ALL of the numbers, they will take you seriously and know that they cannot play games with you.
The reason for not going in the dealership is that once you are there, they have ALL of their tools at their disposal to do whatever they’d like to you, but you have no tools to “defend” from their “amazing” offers.
When you’re at home on your PC you have much more maneuverability and ways to counter their BS.
New here. Isn’t the calculator for free? I was able to change numbers and share them. Did I miss something?
Cool to sponsor the website, but I’m wondering if there would be any difference between paying or not for the calculator. Thanks!
