Yeah I am getting mid-$400 ranges for monthly on a 12k/yr, 3-year lease. Just not competitive. You’re not getting any kinda deal, so people are telling me to wait till maybe the end of the year. And where did you go where there was $42k?! I got a $39k ($6k markup) at the dealership I went to test-drive at. Unbelievable.
It was all through email. Thank god I didn’t drive all the way to this dealership. The dealership was Browning Mazda in Cerritos CA.
Here was their offer 
:
For 36 months and 10k miles per year
with $2000 down your monthly payment is $560 + tax.
with $3000 down your monthly payment is $530 + tax.
with $4000 down your monthly payment is $503 + tax.
I feel like I’m leasing a Shelby well they lost one customer.
The mark-up is $5000 
I don’t think the dealerships are willing to sell anything these days. I don’t know what this game is about but most likely something is going on. I am going to extend my lease for 6 months until end of December. Hopefully the prices will go back to normal.
Did you get a C43? I am going to be in the market soon and wondering what kind of pricing that you found?
I worked with a guy named Ronnie at Browning Mazda too. They only have one Turbo Premium Plus Sedan, in the color I want too. Here’s what he gave me for 12/k year for 36 months (assuming he calculated with those terms, as I had told him):
$2,000 down → $542+tax/mo
$3,000 down → $514+ tax/mo
With this range, I could lease a mid-high loaded Benz or BMW. Yeah no one is budging. The AutoLeaseNinjas never seemed to have gotten my first message so I have to reach out to them again, but if nothing feasible can be worked out, I’m really gonna wait then. Sucks.
Hi there, do you ship BMW X5 to Seattle? Thanks!
My quote was for mazda3 hatchback with premium plus. Looks like the sedan with premium plus package is being offered the same way. I actually told them the same thing that I can lease a better luxury car like bmw with that price and that I wished him luck with selling the car. Who would buy it from them with these high numbers?! I either wait 6 more months or I go with Hyundai. It’s kind of breaking my heart cause I’ve been eyeing this car for almost a year and I can’t afford it now. I’d never thought the price was going to be this much for a $34000 car.
Ah ok. I think both makes are around the same price. I tried negotiating by using TrueCar and Edmunds current values of the exact trim and make, which is around the mid $31k range – which while still pricey for a Mazda, is more stomachable. That’s nearly $3k off from current selling prices listed by dealers (and who knows what in-person mark-ups you’ll find on the dealer’s own window sticker). Tustin Mazda straight up told me they could not do that price.
Browning was weird because the guy gave me a $30k quote (but that was with all current incentives discounts possible applied at once). Makes me wonder how much they can really sell for if they’re able to throw out a $30k price. I assume they get a percentage back from those discounts though.
I think we will both have to wait. Mazda is the only Japanese automaker I am giving the time of day to because I want some damn auto-dimming on the driver’s-side side mirror at least, and they have that (albeit on the top trims only). Lexus and Infiniti have this too but their cars have not tickled my fancy.

Congratulations brother !!!
Pretty cool. Waiting for my Sahara 4xe black. Can you post some more pics? I like the blacked out look of HA rather than the chrome pieces in Sahara.
That’s honestly the only picture I’ve taken! The interior is very nice, some nice stitching on the leather. And I do like how the entire outside is blacked out/everything matched up to the body paint color.
