Don't lease a car for a term longer than the manufacturer's warranty!
If anything goes wrong during the lease after the warranty expires, it comes out of your pocket. You're in a 39 month lease and your engine dies in month 37, your warranty is 36 months, you'll shell out $1200 to repair it. You are responsible for all damages, repairs, brakes, tires, and maintenance on the car during the lease.
See if your credit union provides leases
If you belong to a credit union, ask them if they provide leases. This can save you money because most dealers lease the car at full MSRP. Now you negotiate the price down on the car because you are buying it, and the credit union gives the dealer the cash, now they then lease the car to you. You'll save money because the car is now leased to you for less than MSRP, so the depreciation will be lower. Credit unions have lax mileage requirements, fees, and favorable residual values. It's worth looking into.
Just because they write something down, does not mean it's true.
Many people think that because it is written down it has to be true. The pen truly is mightier than the sword, and they use it to their advantage. They keep writing down figures, and you don't realize how powerful the written word is. They keep nibbling at your offer, bumping you up little by little, until you give in. But don't give in! Your advantage is you can just get up and leave. That is your powerful weapon. It may frustrate you to have to use it, but if the deal isn't worth it, walk away, no matter how bad you want the car. There will be other cars, other deals, and some dealer will be willing to work with you. There's no better feeling than having an uncooperative salesman call you back a week later and you tell him you signed the same deal somewhere for less. You can actually hear their jaw hit the floor. "You bought another car?!!!!" It really is precious.
