Finance - Frequently Asked Questions

1)  Isn't leasing more expensive than buying?

With Mazda Personal Lease, your initial cash outlay is usually less than the cash investment required to purchase a vehicle, and your monthly lease payment is also usually less than a conventional retail loan payment.  A Mazda Personal Lease offers more affordable payments and leaves you with more disposable cash that you can put to work with other purchases or investment opportunities.

2)  Can I trade my car before my lease term is scheduled to end?

Yes. But terminating your lease early, that is, "trading in" your leased vehicle, has the same market risks as with a purchased vehicle.  Before you lease, talk with your dealer about a lease term that will best match your driving habits and lifestyle needs.  Careful planning can help you avoid the potential added expense of early lease termination.

3)  What happens at the end of my lease?

There are no hidden charges or surprises at the end of your Mazda Personal Lease.  You know right from the start exactly how much your monthly payments will be, and what types of fees will be assessed for excessive kilometers or unusual wear and tear. 

If you've maintained your vehicle properly throughout the term of your lease, your have three options:

• Return the vehicle and walk away after settling any charges for excessive wear and tear of excessive kilometers that may have been incurred during the course of your lease
• Turn the vehicle in and lease a new one.
• Purchase your vehicle at the pre-agreed Purchase Option price stated in your Mazda Personal Lease
