Payment $505 ---> $550 security deposit ---> $3850 maxed out security deposits
In the $505 case, sometimes it's a good idea to put a few hundred dollars down to lower your payment to under $500 to save some money.
Each security deposit lowers your money factor by .0007, for a maximum of .00049, which is a total reduction of 1.18% from your interest rate.
To compare the two using fictitious numbers:
$1000 down payment will lower your payment $20/month
$1000 deposit will lower your payment $12/month
Of course like stated above, you get your money back at the end of the lease, and if your car is stolen or totaled.
