<prompt> Human: This will probably make me sound very uninformed, but what the hell..Now I understand when you want to buy a new car, the MSRP on the Vehicle on the lot is obviously inflated thus giving the buyer flexibility to negotiate a lower price. When you attempt to lease one, can you still negotiate that MSRP to go down, thus decreasing the monthly payments on the car? I think the reason I feel like you cant, is because you are leasing and not buying so why should they offer you any less? I dont know, my car is 14 years old and I am so out of the loop of new cars and financing, any help on my stupid question or hints and tips would be greatly appreciated. Need to go in there with some confidence.  <response>: Yes you can. Getting a good deal on a lease is complex though, because with financing all you really care about is purchase price and interest.There are lots of forums with people discussing their lease deals, and with any time you purchase a car, do all your research before stepping into the dealership. A lot of people will swear by leasing, others will never lease.Some brands are better than others in the leasing department than others due to the residuals that are set. Of all brands, BMWs seem to have the best lease value for this reason.Apart from the monthly payment aspect, you need to consider what youre looking for in the car. If you tend to get new cars frequently, leasing may be better than financing. Similarly, if you dont drive a lot of miles, leasing can be a good deal.
