Question about fees & maintenance pkg

Hi hackrs, I recently signed a lease (link) and have some questions.

  1. During negotiation, dealers used their customized forms, which listed a ton of I-don’t-know-what fees (pic below). Did they just lie and make up those fees?

  1. In the final contract, it seems the fees are only $53 (pic below). This is much less than I expected, is loaner expected to have a cheap gov fee?

  1. Before signing the contract, the financial mgr tried to sell us the maintenance pkg. He started w/ $ 15xx, I didn’t take it, then he tried to give me the “employee price” $ 940. I didn’t take it neither, but would like to know if that could be a good deal?

  2. I find it hard to ask for the leasehackr-calculator-like form or the lease-contract form from dealer during negotiation. They always use their customized form, I guess that helps them to make up stuff. Any tips on how to deal with that? Should I threat to walk away?

Thanks in advance!
