Just traded a 13 Touareg for a15. Used my equity in the old one as DP
No problem
Yes there is a security dep
But u get back At term

Also when you trade a car in on a lease you will pay tax on the down payment at least in British Columbia that is the case they tried to charge me $800 on my $10,000 down payment in the end I made the dealer pay for it

I beg to differ
Putting money down brings a $1300 month payment to $800. The DP gets divided over the lease term making a more manageable payment
