2015 Golf SEL lease rates

I'm in the market for a 2015 Golf TSI 4DR SEL with automatic. I'm looking at a 36mo/12k lease with $2000 down and no trade. VW's lease calculator estimates a monthly payment of $345. What I want to know is, realistically, could I lease this for under $300/mo with these same terms?

Probably not.. The advertised lease is for an SE model with an MSRP of $25,715, and it's $1999 due at signing and $299/mo. That doesn't include taxes or registration/dealer fees..

Slightly different, but comparable to last month.

Will go to the dealership for the first time this weekend to talk initial numbers and this is what I got from true car so far...
True car guaranteed price: $24219(SE)/$26619(SEL)
Cap Cost: I will assuming the price above is the best I can go...
Terms: 36m/12k
Monthly Payment with tax(Queens, New York): $3xx? includes tax
Total out of pocket ($2000): first month payment ($3xx) plus DMV transfer fee, bank fee, acquisition fee
Trying to see What's the number is reasonable before I am heading to dealership
My question is:
1. I am new to this forum, leasing car, and VW. What should I do to prepare myself to get a good deal?
2. What the MF and RV of GOLF SE/SEL right now? If there is any promotion, does it end up in very near future or not?
3. I used to drive TOYOTA Camry, how much does it cost to maintain a GOLF. Am I looking for like 3xx bucks every year? Should I buy any maintenance plan if there is such a thing from VW?
4. I greatly appreciate any suggestions and help.
Thanks!!!

It's safe to say that the Golf will be more expensive than the Camry, but I couldn't tell you by how much. Buying a pre-paid maintenance plan may make sense to control your costs - check with the service department to find out how much oil changes and other maintenance visits will cost, then compare to the price of the plan.
Work to negotiate the best selling price, then apply the $1000 lease cash to it.
Since you are in NY, will you be paying your lease sales tax up front or will you be adding it into the cap cost?

I would suggest adding the tax into the payments and keep the up front costs to a minimum.
