  Hey drdrakeramore. Mazda isn't providing lease support on 2012 CX-9 models any longer. If you really want to lease, you will be better off going with a 2013 model. If you're set on getting a leftover 2012 model and don't care how you get it, you could always finance one at 0% for 5 years or 0.9% for 6 years AND get $1,500 dealer cash.

  Just leased a 2012 CX9 from Royal Mazda in SF. It's a touring edition, liquid silver, with bose/moonroof/backup camera option, as well as auto liftgate. Got a great price -- $337 a month for 36months/12k miles -- with a trade in net equity value of $3,200. Monthly payments bumped up to $352 with the Mazda care included -- covers all oil changes and maintenance for the next three years.
