I'm here for the long haul. Since you are a lawyer I guess we should all just follow your commands and ignore your errors?
I didn't say normal, I said fair. Getting base lease rates does not make a hell of a deal. The point of this thread is to use our experience and perspective to help those with less of those things see if they have a great deal or not. To tell someone they have a hell of a deal when the only criteria you have to go on is that they are getting the base lease rates is plain and simply wrong. Not getting a bad deal isn't the same as getting a hell of a deal.
Getting base lease rates is the first part of getting a good deal. But many other things have to come on top of that to make it a hell of a deal. For me, to qualify as a hell of a deal on an ordered car, you'd also have to hit *at least* invoice pricing, base acquisition fee, and very low document fees. Personally, I've bought both of my leased BMWs for $500 over invoice and base rates, and I only consider those deals to be good--not extraordinary enough to be considered a hell of a deal.
