without having looked too deeply into this, a few things stand out:

you shouldn’t pay anything down ($721)

the dealer is effectively lowering the price of the car $2044.60 ($2000 is factory rebate). That’s not enough discount in my opinion. It is not a very desirable car at the moment and should yield a better discount.

Have you tried running a 24 or 27 month lease ? They could potentially have a better payment. Also, unless something changed you can extend your lease by 6 mo, so if the 27 mo payment is better that’s really a 33 mo lease.

I would suggest putting multiple security deposits down which are refundable and will lower your monthly payment.

The money factor is too low to put down MSDs. It’s nearly 0% as it is

Does anyone know what information you need to show/provide for the $1000 College Grad discount? Wondering if I can add that in…

The fine print is usually on the official website.

As far as I know, the 2000 rebate is in addition to the 4044.60 MSRP deduction.

Any news on the deal and where at
