 Make the car sales man go back two the boss twice... Find out if hes on a flat rate. Or comission. If hes on commision.. Offer a tip ($500 or 10 oz silver) under the table to go back the third time. When the deal is signed... Babysit the numbers and make sure they dont change. Take a man! 

 Oh man, I hate car salesman, which is partly why I leased my last three cars with a leasing broker. But I don't think this makes sense any more right now.  

 Not at 72 mo! Lol what are the terms on a lease now?. You could get the sales man to be on yourside if you tip him. 

 Sorry missing what you are saying here... What is "not at 72 months? 
I don't know currently as it's been a 1.5 years since my last lease matured and I happened to leave the country. And the market had changed quite significantly then.  But all my leases have been for 36 months.
