Putting less down increases your monthly payments, but reduces your risk should something happen. This of course is when gap insurance is key as the insurance company will have to pay more in the same situation as above.
Are you sure? If what you say is true I agree I don't ever want to put money down on a lease.
It's true. We've leased 6 cars and never have we put a down payment for this reason.
