2013 Peal whit w/sports package lease... offer from dealership

I don't know what kind of crazy planet you come from but any number of websites will break down for you how financing a car for three years and SELLING it makes a significant difference in the amount of money you spend total when compared to leasing (which is ALWAYS a bad idea for personal vehicles).

Lets say his OTD is 45,000 for a base + sport (This is based on my OTD + the 8k difference OP pointed out). If he puts 5k down like the lease says then (45,000-5000)/60mo (5yrs)= $666.67 monthly payment + whatever your APR is.

No idea where you got $1000. Even if he was at 50K for a base+sport (WHAT!?) it would still be somewhere in the neighborhood of $833/mo.

I hate people that insist that leasing is a good idea because, at best, you're delusional and actually believe the drivel you're spouting and, at worst, you're outright lying.
