mazda college finance program??

hola comrades. i’m a 23yo in the market to buy my first car. looking to buy the cx-30 since the cx-3 is discontinued.

i saw a tiktok that mazda has a national college finance program for college students and wanted to see if anyone has bought a car with it? are there any other programs for college students or first-time buyers? i also in atl if that helps (how’s beaver mazda? i keep seeing her commercials lmao).

like i said i am buying my first car and really doing this all alone so if you guys have any general advice for me please feel free to share!

i’m not really trying to get a car loan because my credit isn’t the best and i’m in the process of consolidating debts. i have a $5,000 down payment already saved and saving up more for the title/registration/etc.

i don’t care for a new car. just really want apple carplay (what can i say i’m 23) and would like to not have to put any major work in/buy a new car for at least 5 more years. what mileage range should i stay in/how many miles do mazdas usually last? anything i should be aware of with the cx-30?

thanks so much in advance!
