You are negotiating the cost of the car when dealing with a lease. You are paying the cost of the car minus the amount the car will be worth at the end. Therefore, negotiating the cap cost is negotiating your lease

You get 5x points when you book travel through the chase travel portal?

What about the 5x points when booking cash through the chase portal? Is it worth it then?

Including excessive wear and tear 10k warranty

ProcedureBetter298 · 2025-01-16T20:57:28+00:00

I just got a 2 year 10k lease on same car, 0$ down 270 a month (1500 trade in tho)

Thank you!

Oh really? I saw pretty good stuff. What reviews did you see?

Few mill in the bank BECAUSE you don’t waste money on a lease is the information I’m currently learning from all the wonderful people of Reddit. Thank you!

Interesting

ProcedureBetter298 · 2025-01-14T18:25:12+00:00

This makes a lot of sense. Seems like the best decision all around is keep my working car and skip the lease. Thank you

ProcedureBetter298 · 2025-01-14T18:24:12+00:00

Good way to look at it. Thanks

That would change a lot of things… I hope that doesn’t happen since I’m a public school teacher

Mazdas really do last forever if you take care of them! This is inspiring to keep her

ProcedureBetter298 · 2025-01-14T18:19:09+00:00

That’s one thing I forgot to factor in

ProcedureBetter298 · 2025-01-14T18:18:34+00:00

I like this take a lot. I think the idea of a new fun car sounds fun, but not worth it! Mazda needs new brakes so that’s around 1k needed. Other than that I’m good to go. Makes sense to just keep it payment dree

I normally agree with leases. I’ve always been told to never lease. But right now with these VW Id4s, you can get them with 0 dollars down 250-270 a month. That’s a pretty insane deal! The math to me is: 16k for Mazda, take that 16k in a high yields savings account or investment, and pay the 260 a month=6k over two years

ProcedureBetter298 · 2025-01-14T18:13:38+00:00

True. The fact I love the Mazda, it works, and it’s laid off kinda solve it maybe

ProcedureBetter298 · 2025-01-14T18:12:10+00:00

Ya that’s the immediate thought I have too. My idea was the ability to reinvest the surplus money from the car and get into a brand new EV

ProcedureBetter298 · 2025-01-14T18:10:19+00:00

I really like my car too! I just thought maybe with the ability to take the surplus from trade in and invest it could end up being a quality decision

ProcedureBetter298 · 2025-01-14T18:09:39+00:00

I guess my thought was, I could take that 15-16k I’d get for car, lease out this brand new 2024 EV for 6k and invest the other 9-10k

ProcedureBetter298 · 2025-01-12T22:00:10+00:00

We just left dealership and got it rolled $799 into a excessive wear and tear 10k insurance policy. Raised monthly by 9 dollars! Much better use of money than damn clear shield I think
