Wat do you guys think. Thanks

Is there any subsidized lease program being offered by Mazda for the Series 3, HB with a manual transmission?
Thanks for any help you can extend on this.
We just recieved our inspection for our lease return on a Mazda3. They noted down every little nick and scratch it comes out to almost $1000 in "repairs"! This seems absurd, but expected I suppose.
Anyone familiar with lease returns? Is there anything i can do to avoid all these ridiculous charges?
Any guidance is appreciated.
thanks!
In short, the easiest way to get a good deal on a leased vehicle is to shop around for the lowest possible selling price and then have the dealer that you decide to go with calculate your vehicle's monthly payment using its buy rate lease money factor.
You won't be able to deal with Mazda directly. Despite Tesla's efforts to change the system, right now consumers who want to buy or lease new vehicle have to do so through a franchised dealer.
Chase's (this is the bank that Mazda runs its special lease program through) June buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36-month lease of a 2013 Mazda3 Grand Touring Hatchback with an automatic transmission and 15,000 miles per year are .00007 and 58% for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier.
Unfortunately, the $1,000 consumer cash incentive that you mentioned is not compatible with this special lease program.

Thanks for the information.
Could you also provide me with the residual and money factor based on a 36 month lease and 10K miles annually as well as 12K miles annually.
The above is on a new 2012 Mazda Hatchback I touring with manual transmission.
Also, I know there is a $1000 cash rebate on a purchase being offered by Mazda. Does this rebate - or any rebate - apply to a lease?
Thanks for your help.
Also, is the money factor that you quoted on the Hatchback or the Sedan. I have been told the MF on the Hatchback is quite a bit higher.
For three cars, these are the quotes we received after some haggling:
2013 Prius, 12k miles, $0 Down, $289/month
2013 Civic Hybrid, 12k miles, $0 Down, $280/month
2013 3i Touring, 12k miles, $0 Down, $281 and $275/month
The invoice for the 3i Touring is $19,700, according to TrueCar. Civic is $23,400 and Prius is $23,960.
We are novices when it comes to leasing, but shouldn't a car that invoices for thousands less lease for significantly less, too? Are Honda's and Toyota's terms generally more favorable than Mazda's? Is there something I am missing in the equation?
Any help or guidance will be appreciated!

Here's the deal I got on a new 2013 Mazda 3 i touring hatchback manual transmission:
MSRP $20795
Capitalized Cost $19130
Money Factor: .00007
Residual: 58% $12061
Monthly Payment: $214.97 before Sales Tax
Monthly Payment: $234.32 after sales tax (Northern California)
Drive off payment: $584.77 (first month payment, registration and title, doc fees, etc)
There was no other front end payment other than the drive off payment mentioned above.
I feel I got a fair deal thanks to the feedback on this forum. Of course, it involved shopping different dealers - some were amazingly misleading with everything from the money factor to the residual.
Since the car was leased at a very favorable money factor, I was not eligible for the $1000 cash rebate applicable to outright purchases.
Could you provide the MF and residual for 2013 Mazda3 i grand touring for 36 months 12,000 per year?
thanks
Could you help me out on a lease for a 2013 Mazda3 (deciding between touring and grandtouring).
Dealer quoted me today, for a 36 month, 36K mile lease in 02563:
Touring: 56% residual; .00019 money factor
GrandTouring: 57% residual; .00019 money factor
Can you confirm these numbers are accurate?
They also said there is a $500 rebate (conquest, since I have a civic), but wondering if there are any others that can be applied to the lease.
Thank you in advance!
regards,
