  1. 1Advertised lease payment.

Total lease cost $11,669, including the amount due at signing. No security deposit. Plus government fees and taxes, any finance charges, any dealer document processing charge, any electronic filing charge, and any emission testing charge. Per the manufacturer's terms, the amount due at signing includes a $750 acquisition fee. A $350 disposition fee is due at lease end. Offer expires November 30, 2026. Payment and terms are set by the manufacturer and participating dealers. AutoFinder is not a lessor, does not set pricing, and is not a party to any lease. Sourced from mazdausa.com on November 9, 2026.
  2. 2Effective monthly cost. AutoFinder calculation: $2,499 due at signing plus the remaining 35 payments of $262 ($11,669 total), divided by 36 months. Excludes taxes, title, registration, the $350 disposition fee, and any excess mileage or wear charges. For comparison only.
  3. 3MSRP and invoice price. MSRP is the manufacturer's suggested retail price for the trim shown and may exclude destination charges, options, and dealer-installed accessories. Invoice prices are estimates of dealer cost from AutoFinder's vehicle data provider and do not reflect holdbacks, incentives, or regional pricing. Potential savings is MSRP minus estimated invoice. Dealers set the actual selling price.
  4. 5Finance payment estimate. AutoFinder calculated $439 per month by financing $22,151 (the advertised MSRP less $2,499 down) over 60 months at 7% APR with $0 applied for a trade-in. These are AutoFinder's assumptions. This is not an offer of credit, not a quote from any lender, and not based on your credit history; your actual rate, term, and payment will differ. Excludes taxes, title, license, registration, and dealer fees.
  5. 7California shoppers (CARS Act). Plus government fees and taxes, any finance charges, any dealer document processing charge, any electronic filing charge, and any emission testing charge. Total lease cost is everything you pay over the lease for this 2026 Mazda 3: the amount due at signing (which includes the first payment and any cash down payment or capitalized cost reduction) plus all remaining scheduled monthly payments, before taxes and the charges above. No trade-in is assumed. MSRP is not the vehicle's selling price. Ask the dealer for the vehicle's total price, which under California law includes any dealer markup and installed accessories and does not subtract rebates. Add-on products such as service contracts, GAP coverage, and protection packages are not required, and you can lease the vehicle without them. Each offer is available only through its stated expiration date and only on vehicles the dealer has in stock at the advertised terms. AutoFinder is not a dealer or lessor and does not set prices.
