I plugged in a few figures into an online lease calculator and got the amount for the X monthly.

I am going back and forth with a dealer to get the X as close to invoice as possible. So far its like $1000 above invoice + the $795 Acquisition fee. Going to send out a few more emails to other dealers and see if they can do better.

The MF is set in stone right or is it negotiable? Currently at .00185.

It was for 15K a year

The base MF is set in stone. What the dealer offers you is not set in stone. In fact dealers make a nice pile of money raising it on you. You need to make sure you get .00185, and not have it go up one tiny blip.

$1000 above invoice is too high. The E70 has been out for a LONG time, and a replacement is coming in 2014. You should get a better deal than that. I got 6.5% off MSRP (which is roughly $320 above invoice)

Also make sure they are giving you the $4,500 eco-credit on top of any other discounts. (when i bought it was only $3,500, so your final deal should be even better than mine)

And make sure they don't charge you stupid fees (doc fee, prep fee, i want a nice lunch fee, etc)
