Kia Money Factor too high!

[pavlograd]

Kia's money factor for leasing is too high! Excellent credit gets you .00182 which is 45 times higher than the MF offered by Mazda on 2019's. Makes a difference of about $110 a month on $36000.

Yes it is. And it has been since March. Leasing is not the best option through KMF right now. But, KMF does have lease cash, so keep that in mind. Their purchase rates are much better at this time.

Mazda should bend over backwards to get you into a CX-9 if you want one. I was offered a $5750 purchase discount before serious negotiation on a CX-9 - and that was in April / May!!! The sales manager actually said "we're just trying to get people in the door to come take a look..." Now December and they are facing lower sales than 2018...

It shouldn't be viewed as a direct competitor of Telluride - CX-9 has too cramped of an interior and out-dated tech. Mazda's sales for CX-9 have tanked this year, so yeah, they're probably doing great lease specials. They only sell about 2,000 per month - worst sales rate of all "3-row" mass-market SUVs.

It's a purchase only vehicle for now unfortunately. You can lease some higher end cars for what it would cost to lease a Telluride at the moment.
