New Mazda 3 Owner

[XizorGetspeed]

What's up all!!!

I just found this site via google. I was searching for a cool key chain for my new car.

I Signed the papers yesterday for a 2007 Mazda 3 GT with the Moonroof option - Galaxy Grey Mica. I've been craving this car since its release in 2004, but just never had the opportunity until now.

They said they had stock, so I can expect to be driving by Wednesday!

First time purchasing a car and first time driving stick (figured I'd do it right!)

Can't wait!!!

Yes welcome to the club. Congrats on the purchase!

good colour choice!

You have to come to the meets, so I'm not the only one with stock snowflake rims! :)

I'm trying to figure out if I got a decent lease rate on this:
My monthly payments for it will be $208 including taxes and I made a down payment of $6000

Or if I only made a down payment of $3000 it would have been $285.

48 month lease, buyout is $11k, 80K km allowed.

Any opinions?

You're supposed to ask those questions here BEFORE you buy the car. :chuckle

Welcome to the club,

Are you planning to buy the car at the end? If so, you shouldn't be leasing right now.

[XizorGetspeed]

I haven't decided if I will keep the car or not. What kind of % am I looking at that I would lose by going leasing and I ended up keeping the car?

I like the low monthly payments...

[XizorGetspeed]

Yeah I know I'm supposed to ask BEFORE (lol), but I was under the impression that I got a decent rate, until my sister was like how many dealerships did you go to, did you check the cost of the car from carcostcanada, are you sure you couldn't have gone any lower etc... But I'm in sales too, and I understand that at the end of the day, everyone's got to make a living. I went to my friend's dad who works at Erin Mills Mazda, so I figured that he would give me a very competitive price... but I just want to double check :)

My monthly payments for it will be $208 including taxes and I made a down payment of $6000

Based on this, I would say you got a great deal. About $1000 below cost.. good job.


Or if I only made a down payment of $3000 it would have been $285.

And on this one, you are about $700 below cost.

Is there something I/you missed? Is the cash down plus tax? or Total due on delivery?

Gotta ask, is the lease with Mazda Canada Credit or Financialinx?

[XizorGetspeed]

I think it's plus taxes and probably Mazda Canada Credit. Not too sure to be honest where can I check?

[Jeff-TheBiz]

I think it's plus taxes

That sounds a little better.. then it is an okay deal.


and probably Mazda Canada Credit. Not too sure to be honest where can I check?

should be on your lease order...

Congrats and welcome to the club!!

[Sean80]

finance it and then just sell it if you want to get rid of it..... the 3's hold their value pretty well!


guess its too late if the papers are signed tho lol
