First time actually working a deal. I know I left the doc. fee and some registration fees on the table, but am happy with the deal. Any feedback from the pros for my next go-around?

So this is something we don’t talk about as much on here, but what is your conversation like to negotiate a 25% off-the-top sale price? What dealerships are you looking for; what do you say to the car salesman, etc?
As a city-dweller, I can imagine walking in looking for a lease and getting laughed out the door.
I’d love a separate thread on what to look for (as far as ripe conditions for a sweet deal) and how to have the conversation to get a huge MSRP discount like this - all while knowing you want to lease (as opposed to buy).
You have to keep in mind that, in this instance, we are talking about a Q50. A dealer is already going to knock at 15%, maybe even closer to 20%, right off the bat.
The real sweet spot is the Hybrid. The discounts can be huge on those and I think the residual is the best amongst all the trims. I’ve negotiated two Q50s and might do a third. Walk in the park compared to a lot of other cars.
Thanks - that’s something I have picked up on this forum - it’s much more about what cars lease well/get big discounts than it is about negotiating on a car you want.
So let me ask you this - you clearly knew the Q50 has this reputation - other than this forum, where do you look to identify makes/models that lease well or get huge discounts?
