Is this a good deal? The trade in is my current cx9 lease. I pay 408 a month on it and the new one is nicer. I know it is discouraged to put money down and I get that my effective payment is more. Best I could replicate in the calculator was 537 effective and 6.8 years. But in these times I question if I can do much better and I’m willing to use my equity as a down payment as I didn’t expect to have that equity on the lease in the first place. We tried a few other mfgs today and I laughed at most of them. This was a 1st pass deal from Mazda. They dropped tax and gave me a decent offer on my current trade in without me even asking. I think I can get another $1,000 on the trade in.
I didn’t ask what the accessories were but he said the only thing they add is tint.
We really like our current cx9 so I am ok with it being a Mazda.
The warranty forever is a dealership deal. I bought my truck from the same chain and had it. You have to check a lot of boxes. On a lease it is kind of funny though.
I don’t. But from what I remember on my truck you had to get service done there or call in and document every maintenance you have done or do yourself.
True. I guess my point is even if I sell the car and pocket the equity I’m gonna have to spend some money upfront on fees and taxes. They cut the taxes down a good bit. Usually in Texas you pay 6.25% tax on MSRP. So looks like they cut that down to around 2.5%
As for buying it. 22,500 financed over 60 months at 3.9% is 440/month and I have 5 years of it and maintenance starts to kick in more. I like my wife having a new car I don’t have to worry about.
