I'll second to contact Jas, he's got me a .00190 money factor and thus my payments should reduce from the Mazda rate by about $50 a month which is frankly... a *lot* of money, specially spread over 39 months (my lease term).

Give him a buzz or PM!

Yeah, I did. He offered me a significantly better MF, but somehow the dealer beat what Jas was able to offer me as far as monthly payments go. I don't know exactly how the dealership did it.

Why question it then

Just make sure they didnt inflate the residual obscenely because if you want to buy the car at the end.. it gets very expensive.

That doesn't make sense. Just about everything we buy depreciates after it is bought.

When was the last time you bought a computer and the value went up after the purchase? Same for electronics, furniture, CARS... So, I guess we shouldn't buy computers, TVs, stereos...

This sounds good in theory, but it doesn't hold up.
