Thought I would just share that at least in the Northeast, the MF on CX-9 Touring is .00008 and Grand Touring is .00001. This is as close to 0% interest as you will likely get on a lease. The residuals on both cars is reasonable as well. You still have to do some work to get the right pre-incentive discount, and the incentives are not great ($360 I believe), but that MF is a good first step towards getting at least a reasonable deal in a very tough market.
I was fortunate to get a 9% pre-incentive discount last week on a GT. Coupled with the .00001 MF, I feel like it’s probably the best deal I could get at this time. Thought I would share as the MF sometimes gets overlooked, but it can make a real difference in the cost of a deal.
Mine is $480 with first and DMV DAS (about $640 total). It is a 15,000 mile per year lease though. Have not done the math but guessing 12,000 would have knocked off at least $25/month if not more.
