Sorry gang, the Mazda forums have been a bit dry these past couple weeks so this is all I have managed to dig up. As a consolidation, I have sample payment calculations for both vehicles. The 3 and the CX9 look good this month. As long as your negotiated sale price is low, I think you should be able to manage a good deal.

Here is a sample calculation based on TrueCar’s Southern California sale price and do not include local taxes. Please note that your dealer calculations may vary due to local fees/taxes.

2011 Mazda3 i Sport
MSRP – $17,855
