I don't lease but have never understood what difference it makes if someone pays $2k down and a lower payment or the other person pays zero down but a higher payment. Seems to me the total amount paid over the term would be by far the most important number.

I guess it makes sense if you don't want $2k tied up in the car?

Just a question as I have seen the same "don't put money down on a lease" many times so you definitely aren't the only one.
The idea is that if you put down money on a lease you would end up losing that money if for some reason the lease ended early (car accident, stolen car, lease transfer or early trade in).
