I used the first option with $2,500 DAS, divided that by the term and added that result to the scheduled monthly payment amount.
($2,500 / 36) + $459 = $528
Most people look at monthly, but I actually prefer using the total lease cost, because when the lease is done that’s how much will have been sucked out of my wallet over the term of the lease.
(36 * 459) + 2,500 = $19,024
IMO the offer is equally / more alarming when viewed through that lens.
