What is Mazda Future Value


Mazda Future Value (MFV)** is the minimum value of your Mazda at the end of your loan term (subject to Mazda Finance Vehicle Condition Requirements and agreed kilometres being met) is agreed when you buy your new Mazda. A Mazda Future Value Certificate will be added to your Credit Contract. This means that if you decide to return your car at the end of the loan term, you can feel confident knowing how much your Mazda will be worth to us. You will also enjoy lower regular repayments^ compared to a standard personal car loan as your repayments are based on the value of the car excluding the Mazda Future Value.

Finance Terms and Conditions

FINANCE AND LEASE OPTIONS

Find the Finance that's right for you

Choosing between a lease or loan can be confusing - but we're here to make it easier. And the decision really starts with how you like to do things.

Credit Contract or Lease?

Credit Contract Agreement

I'm interested in purchasing a vehicle with a loan.

You own the vehicle, but it is used as security for the loan. A Mazda Finance Credit Contract gives you total ownership of the vehicle.

Maximum flexibility - with our Credit Contract.

Our Credit Contract is a traditional fixed rate vehicle loan that pays off the entire vehicle.  You can also choose the Mazda Future Value option which allows you to defer part of the purchase cost until the end of the term of the loan.  This means payments are lower compared to traditional car loans.

Benefits

  • Drive now, pay as you go
  • Flexible deposit amount
  • Flexible payments
  • Fixed interest rate
  • Option to include, Mazda Vehicle Insurance and Payment Protection insurance.
  • Tax deductions (for businesses).
  • Trade-in or keep vehicle at end of the plan.
  • Mazda Future value option.

For information on interest rates and fees please see CONSUMER INTEREST RATES AND FEES.

Finance Lease

I like to upgrade to a new model every couple of years and plan on returning the vehicle.

Vehicle leasing gives you the use of a brand new (or late model) car for a fixed period of time - usually 2, 3 or 4 years. It's a great alternative to buying and widely used by businesses as a cost-effective way of obtaining a vehicle without diverting valuable working capital.

Lease your vehicle with the ability to offer to purchase for a fixed amount at the end of the lease.

You can also opt for the Mazda Guaranteed Minimum Value to protect from potential residual value loss if the vehicle value drops.

Benefits:

  • Low initial outlay (from one monthly payment)
  • Fixed monthly payments
  • Terms from 24 to 60 months
  • Tax deductions (for businesses) *
  • Option to offer to purchase the vehicle at the end of the plan
  • Protect your resale value with Mazda Guaranteed Minimum Value option
  • Choose to add Mazda Vehicle Insurance and Payment Protection insurance

* Tax arrangements may vary – we recommend talking to your accountant or financial advisor.

TAILORED FINANCE

How do Mazda Finance Rates work?

Essentially, they are interest rates that are personalised to your financial circumstances. Instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach, we use your credit score and other relevant criteria to calculate a rate that’s right for you.  Using smart and sophisticated software, Mazda Dealers will calculate a rate based on your individual credit score and other criteria determined by us. No matter who you are or where in New Zealand you live, you can be sure of a transparent rate that’s tailored to your personal financial circumstances.

How does this affect me?

Mazda Finance is deeply committed to providing you with quality finance options that are tailored to your individual needs and circumstances. With Mazda Finance’s Tailored Rates, you can be sure that you’re always getting a transparent interest rate for your loan.

What can affect my credit score?

There are lots of things that can affect your credit score, including your payment history, how much credit you have available and how many active credit accounts you have. Getting a quote does not impact on your credit score.

Why should I borrow from Mazda Finance rather than a bank?

Unlike banks and other financial institutions, we calculate your rate based on your credit score and other personal criteria determined by us. This means you can always be sure of a rate that’s transparent and tailored to you.

Is this the most competitive interest rate Mazda Finance can give me now?

Based on your credit score and other financial criteria, this is the only fixed rate that Mazda Finance can offer you right now.

MAZDA FINANCE RULE OF 78

Mazda Finance“Rule of 78” Settlement Methodology for Non-Consumer Loans

The “Rule of 78” is a method used by banks and finance companies to break down the principal and interest in the monthly repayment of an instalment loan. Under this rule, the proportion of interest in the monthly payments decreases over the course of the loan period. For example, if a loan is to be repaid over 12 months, the total interest will be divided into 78 portions (12 + 11 + 10 + … + 1 = 78).

12/78ths of the interest is allocated as the first month’s portion of the total interest, 11/78ths of the interest is allocated as the second month’s portion and so on until the twelfth month, at which time 1/78th of the interest is allocated as that month’s portion of the total interest.

The total interest portions for different loan terms are illustrated as below:

Loan Term (Months)

Interest Portion

12

78 (12 + 11 + 10 +...+ 1)

24

300 (24 + 23 + 22 +...+ 1)

36

666 (36 + 35 + 34 +...+ 1)

48

1,176 (48 + 47 + 46 +...+ 1)

60

1,830 (60 + 59 + 58 +...+ 1)

 

When loans are settled early, we use the formula in the example below to ensure we calculate an accurate settlement amount using the “Rule of 78” to calculate the interest component for our loans.

The settlement due in the example below is based on a $5000, 24-month loan, with 24 regular payments, a 12% p.a. interest rate, that is settled after making 6 regular payments.
