Buy vs Lease near San Marcos, TX
There's no doubt that getting your hands on a Mazda vehicle is an exciting endeavor. Since there are two routes that you can consider taking, we at World Car Mazda New Braunfels are here to fill you in on the choices. Afterwards, you can be fully confident when our team helps you set up a contract.
Buying
While there are two different avenues you can venture down, there is no wrong choice! The first option is to buy a set of wheels from our lot! Also referred to as financing, this is a method to obtain a new or used car with an installment rate that eventually leads to full ownership. You'll first present us with a down payment that is ideally 20 percent of your chosen car's total amount. We'll then secure you a loan that will need to be reimbursed over a four- to seven-year period.
Leasing
If you aren't keen on the idea of sticking to one model for an extended length of time, we recommend leasing a new Mazda vehicle! To partake in this type of contract, you can benefit from short-term, cost-friendly setups that are worth considering. This is a temporary alternative to the aforementioned route, and you'll rarely be required to offer up a down payment. In addition to that, you'll only have to contribute to the depreciation instead of the overall cost. You can even take advantage of new-car manufacturer warranties, so some maintenance costs won't come out of your pocket. Since these terms last two to four years, you must choose what to do at the end of your contract. To learn more about these options, read the article below!
Inventory
Now, it is time to choose a ride you wish to take home. We make searching for the right set of wheels just as easy as the previously mentioned plans, because we showcase our inventory completely online! That way, you can take a look at what we've got before you even leave your home. After double-clicking the New Cars or Used Cars tab, you will be taken to a page that shows you an individual profile for each model, which can be clicked on to view additional details. To relieve the burden of sifting through every page, we recommend utilizing the filters on the left-hand side of the screen to narrow your selection down. Once you're ready to take the plunge, head on down to our location!

Testimonials
“ Excellent experience at World Car Mazda San Antonio. Mr. Hall and team provided my family and I fantastic customer service. They really paid attention to what I was looking for and did not pressure me to purchase anything. In the end we did purchase a vehicle and wanted to share our experience. ”
“ The first contact I had at World Car Mazda was a kind and helpful receptionist who gave me directions to the service center. I mentioned that I was coming from Boerne, and she ended the conversation with "have a safe drive". That kind of customer support meant a lot to me. I walked into the service area and met Zena, she helped me understand the timetable for repairs and maintenance. Throughout our initial conversation she was checking to see if I understood and was very thorough. She provided her phone number should I have questions and/or need anything. While my car was being serviced I decided to walk to North Cross Mall. Zena asked a gentleman to give me a ride to the Mall. He stopped at that point, in the middle of his lunch, and drove me there. Everyone was genuinely interested in doing thorough job and providing kind services and attention. I highly recommend this service center for vehicle maintenance and driving safety. ”

“ Great follow up and good experience at the point of contact on the sales lot. Several people involved and all good folks. ”
“ Very poor customer service at this location. I recommend the new Braunfels location. It doesn’t matter who you call or who you deal with here they do not return calls. They sold us a brand new car that had damage on it and was in for repairs for over 2 weeks. We totally regret on so many levels coming to this location for our new car purchase. The are a very poor representation of Mazda USA. ”
“ Do not purchase any add-ons for your car. If you are looking to get service for your car at this dealership, after purchasing your car from a different dealership, they will not honor anything. The service here has been horrible. Based on one of their representatives, in order for this dealership to honor your add-on from a different dealership, they would need to review the contract you signed with the previous dealership. However, even when you show them the contract, they still do not honor it. You need to go through great links just to get good customer service. Unfortunately, if if you already purchased add-ons for your Mazda from a previous dealership, I would recommend trying a different Mazda dealership, even if you need to go all the way to Austin. ”
