If you are trying to match the monthly, you need to make sure you qualify for all the rebates. This is a 10% off MSRP deal with buy rate base MF and 7 MSDs.

jmg, thanks for your very helpful post regarding the i3. So you did actually paid $3,950 up front for part of your down payment $5,994 but then you will get it all back from the post sale rebates right? Will it be better if you just roll that $3,950 to the monthly since we always want to minimize the down payment for lease in case of accident/total lost?
In a normal lease, yes, I would just pocket that money and use it towards the payments since you risk losing that money if the car is totaled. However, since the money is a post sale rebate, people generally just apply it as a down since losing it in an accident is not as big a consequence compared to losing your own down payment. I did ask myself if I should do what you suggested, but in the end, the lower payment, in this case, was more appealing since the risk is very low.
