2021 Kia Forte GT

Totally different car, style and price range to what I am looking at.

You can consider it whatever you want, but for the purpose of evaluating the deal, you’re incorrect. The amount due at sale is the amount that was, well, due at sale. It doesn’t matter what the amount was made up of, it’s the money that you had to pay to leave with the vehicle and contributes to the total cost of the lease. If you’re comparing lease deals, you can’t pick and choose how much you include.

For a deal to be $0 das, you would have had to fully capitalized the first month payment and those fees and had a sign and drive deal where no money exchanged hands when you took the vehicle.
