tips on negotiating a vehicle lease (sales, buying, taxes)

[semidevil]

I'll be going to the Honda dealer this weekend in the surrounding areas to pick up a vehicle lease, and was wondering if anyone had any experience with negotiating with the sales staff.

My last vehicle lease was in another state and at the time, I was literally able to get the vehicle for the advertised lease deal as is (no additional TTL, destination fees, or anything else). I dont know if I could have gone lower, or may be the fees were already implicitly added, but I got in and out within my expectations within my price range and that was enough for me.

Question:
My last car lease was 3 years ago. I'm assuming vehicles are still as negotiable as they are now? Is it still possible to get a car at the advertised lease price, without any other additional charges (i,e 'waive' the taxes and stuff)?

Is it possible/reasonable to lease for less than the advertised lease price?

any strategies to make this experience as pain free as possible.


P.S: I have reason to lease instead of purchase, so no need to reply and tell me buying is better.
