I'm not crazy about commenting on whether or not leases are good or not, since the numbers never seem to end up being what they're advertised to be once you add options, check credit, etc.
Since you're right up the road from me, I did want to encourage you to consider a few options that worked for me. At the end of the day, regardless of whether or not you're leasing/financing, you want the sale price to be as low as possible.
I strongly urge you to use either Costco's or AAA's car buying service. There are a few dealer near you that participate in both programs including Coast in Sarasota. Both programs came back at or slightly below invoice pricing....from there, you can set up your lease as planned.
