Well like I mentioned, I don't think I want the car long term. 36 months makes the most sense for me at this point.

I haven't been supplied the money factor and residual value yet. They want me to come in to go over the numbers. Last night, the only thing they did was pressure me with monthly payment numbers - not negotiate a sale price or anything else - and try to not let me leave without signing. I left.

If I do this, I'm making the cash piece of the deal go away at a minimum, or I walk out, as w0rM suggests. Even though with my average credit I can't qualify for the 0% deals, I still think the $5k trade in should cover everything and get me near $400/mo. They're trying to say that's impossible.

w0rM, given it's a lease, I wouldn't want to add a bunch of stuff to a car I don't own, so I'd rather it come with everything already.
