    Note that the prices have the heading Purchase Option. They aren't applicable to a lease - CA taxes the monthly payment when you lease, and there is no mention of the acquisition fee.

    Ask the dealer for a copy of the lease worksheet.

    And, what's the story behind the $2100 of negative equity? Regardless of the deal, that alone will add $50-60/mo to any lease payment.

    I'm not sure I understand, are you saying these numbers are to buy and not lease? I haggled with them for a long time on the negative equity and they won't budge on my trade.

    You are right, I am getting the lease worksheet. How do I know what a good MF is?

    I'm saying the prices listed are not connected to the lease payment you were quoted.

    I'm sure the price you negotiated is correct, however.

    Is the negative equity from an existing lease? If so, why not wait until the lease is up, before shopping for the next car?

    MF is marked up.

    Seems like your car would be a prime candidate for selling yourself.
