<prompt> Human: Hey rpf!So as the title says it all: I am shopping around to get a good car lease and I am just starting the research. My Dad works for Ford so I will get an A plan discount. What are some things I should consider and keep in mind when shopping around? Other details - Southeast Michigan, 16k miles a year for the car, married with no kids, A plan Ford discount, looking at either the Fusion or Escape, 2 or 3 year lease is preferredPlease keep this to the tips about car lease shopping versus a debate on why I should buy! Thanks in advance!  <response>: 1. Dont put a lot down-- or anything if you can help it. If you have to pay taxes, titles, and fees, fine, but try to pay depreciation only. Dont give money to the dealer.2. Find out what money factor the dealer is using: If they go high, then tell them to shove it. 3. Negotiate on car price, not lease payment. Go in with a Truecar.com competition at the outset. I used that to buy a car that typically has very little wiggle room, and managed almost 3k off. I didnt lease, I bought, but same theory.Dont be afraid to walk. Ive had dealers call me back in a few days to say that they can magically meet my demands when a car sat for a while.
