Lease

[Va6li]

Greetings Mazda world!

Bought a 08 MS3 about 2 weeks ago and loving everything about it.

I was wondering if anyone here got the leasing option for their financing?

Also, what are my restrictions for modifying since I am on a lease for the car?

Never heard of a 'leasing' option for financing. Isnt it either or?

no he's right he can lease the car with an option to buy...

If you are on a lease and there is any possibility of turning the car in, do not do any mods that are not reversible. You may think it is an improvement, but the lease company will charge you back for anything that is not stock when they get the car back.

That's what I thought.
So is it safe to assume that putting a MS CAI is still valid or will I have to bring it back to stock when my lease is up?

I would say you would want to keep the air box and pipes if you put in the CAI and the couple of screws that will be left over. Be prepared to put them back, it's easy. The "air deflector" part I am sure you can ignore; no-one will notice or care that it is missing. Do it!

But thats called 'buy back' right? You dont lease to finance...
