If you don’t understand how car leasing works, you should. We recommend LeaseGuide.com as a good resource to learn about leasing and to determine if you are a good leasing candidate. Everybody isn’t.

Leases are especially attractive to people who need to finance a car at the lowest possible monthly payment. Leases are always less expensive than a similar loan. Why? Because you pay for only part of the car’s value — the part you “use up” — and you return the car (with it’s remaining unused value) back to the lease company. It sounds like renting, but it is not.

If you don’t understand how car leasing works, you are advised to do so before you lease. Leasing is a little more complicated than buying with a loan, which makes it easier to make mistakes if you don’t know what you are doing.

The Mazda3 lease deal is for $189 a month, 36 months, 10K miles per year, and $2784 due at signing. The due-at-signing amount includes 1st month’s payment and lease acquisition fee. No security fee is required.

If you can handle the due-at-signing amount, drive no more than 10,000 miles per year, and like the model being promoted, this is a great deal. You won’t find a similar deal being offered by any other car manufacturer right now.

If you don’t want the Mazda3 i Sport 4-door, there are other lease deals available on other styles of the Mazda3. For examply, you can get the 2010 Mazda3 s Sport 5-door for $229 a month, the 2009 Mazda5 Sport for $269 a month, the 2009 Mazda6  i Sport for $239 a month, the 2009 CX-7 Sport FWD for $309, the 2009 CX-9 Sport FWD for $369 a month, 2009 MX-5 Miata Sport for only $259 a month, a 2009 RX-8 Sport for $339 a month, and a 2009 Tribute i Sport FWD for $349 a month. 

These Mazda lease offers expire on June 1, 2009 so you don’t have long to make up you mind.

If you decide not to lease, you can also get a nice 2.9% APR loan rate for these same cars.

Mazda has just introduced short-term (only for the month of April 2009) incentives (rebates and low-interest loans – no lease deals) on most of it’s models. The cash-back rebates are especially impressive, and the low APR loans are not too bad either.

There’s a nice $2000 rebate on the 2009 Mazda3, but not on the already available 2010 model, although the 2010 Mazda3 does have a 2.9%/4.9% APR rate on 36/60 month loans.

The Mazda5 gets a strange $500 rebate but only if you finance through Chase Auto Finance. And there’s a low APR offer that is also a little strange, although attractive. It’s 0.9%/2.9%/4.9% on 36/60/72 month loans. In this case, you may do better to go with the loans instead of the rebate, which is not usually our recommendation.

The Mazda6 gets $1000 cash-back and 0%/2.9%/4.9% on 36/60/72 month loans. By contrast, the Mazda RX-8 gets low APR loans, but no cash-back.

The ever-popular Mazda MX-5 Miata has no current incentives.

The Mazda Tribute gets $2000, the CX-9 and CX-7 get $1000, along with low interest loan deals. Of course, you know that you can take the cash OR the loan deals, but not both. And the deals are available only to “qualified” buyers with good credit scores.

The Mazdaspeed Mazda3 gets only a $1000 rebate, but no low APR loan deals.

Just a reminder that incentives can vary by region of the country. Also be reminded that you can, and should, negotiate your own discounts from your dealer, on top of any incentives offered by the car manufacturer.
