August 2008 Lease Rate for 09 Mazda6

My Take: Interesting note on the Mazda6…Did you know the 2009 model starts at about $590 less than the 2008 model? How weird is that? Specially since the 2009 is beefier/heftier cars. I guess it is a bit refreshing to see prices drop a bit instead of go up. Kudos to Mazda for that.

2009 Mazda Mazda6 Sedan i Grand Touring
24 Month – Residual 65% of MSRP – .00189 Base Rate
36 Month – Residual 55% of MSRP – .00185 Base Rate

24mo Payment: $421 at invoice, $544 at MSRP
36mo Payment: $389 at invoice, $472 at MSRP

Expect to pay more in the MSRP range than invoice on this one. One thing that I find rather disturbing is how a 4cyl car that’s loaded like this costs $30k. If you have to pay MSRP for the car, I would suggest looking elsewhere, like the Camry, Accord and Altima. You can get the V6 versions for less.

2009 Mazda6 In Da House!

A couple months ago, I wrote a post regarding the Mazda6 and how it’s totally redesigned and looking more “mature”. And like all things “mature”, it put on some weight too. To compensate for that, Mazda bumped up the power on the engines. Very American of them! I can’t complain, I’m a power junkie. If Mazda wants to live up to their “zoom-zoom” slogan, they had better inject some of it on the 6, otherwise people will keep on driving Chevy Malibus, Honda Accords and Toyota Camrys.

You should really head over to Edmunds for the “test drive” article regarding the Mazda6. Don’t forget to check out the pics of the interior. WAY nicer than before. I can only imagine what the Mazdaspeed6 is going to be down the road…I bet the “drool-factor” will be very high. 😀

2007 & 2008 Lease Programs and Incentives from Mazda

While poking around the web to find what type of lease cash incentives Mazda is throwing around these days (I really trying to confirm the $700 rebate my dealer threw at me last week) I came upon this page. Word of caution, these leases are based on MSRP. So the drive-off seems rather high. However, if you are able to get the drive-off waived (should be able to get most, if not all of that waived), you are looking at a pretty darn good lease.

Here are a few of the lease incentives going on:

2008 CX-9 Sport FWD
$329/Month, 24-Month Lease, $3,424 due at Lease Signing after $1,300 MAC lease cash back.

2008 CX-7 Sport FWD
$229/Month, 24-Month Lease, $2,824 due at Lease Signing after $1,000 MAC lease cash back.

2008 MAZDA3 i Sport 4-Door AT
$179/Month, 24-Month Lease, $2,179 due at Lease Signing.

2008 MAZDA3 s Sport 5-Door AT
$249/Month, 24-Month Lease, $2,249 due at Lease Signing after $250 MAC lease cash back.

2008 MAZDA6 i Sports Sedan Sport Value Edition AT
$229/Month, 24-Month Lease, $2,229 due at Lease Signing after $1,500 MAC lease cash back.

The Amount due at Lease Signing is higher in the following states: Connecticut ($2,742); Massachusetts ($2,819); Rhode Island ($2,871); Virginia ($2,537); and West Virginia ($2,550).

2008 MX-5 Miata Sport MT
