Most of the upgrades going from Premium to Limited were irrelevant to me when I was buying. $1k for leather on a Premium was a better deal, but I suppose that may not translate when leasing.
So presented the store with the numbers you posted earlier and my incorrect $376/mo. I probably should of waited until you responded, but got impatient. They are willing to match those numbers with the 2018 Limited (all features). I’m guessing I should try and talk them down some more and get closer to $350? Or should I be happy with that current offer?
You should only go by the numbers, not by the final price. Lets say you ask for about $1.5K under invoice instead of $1K: $32,574 selling price based on the same MSRP as above or 11-12% off MSRP on any other price that you can calculate yourself: $341/mo incl tax. Try to shoot for that, should be doable

Tax on vehicles in NC is 3% (its a “use” tax on the monthly only for leases). You do get hit with personal property tax later (and high dealer fees and low payment shock)
The personal property tax is tax deductible and they will drop the tax basis to the actual price you paid as opposed to their internal pricing which maximizes tax revenue (which is close to MSRP). But it does require an appeal.
