Congrats on being in a competitive market and having a dealer that passes on profit opportunities. Most aren't so lucky. Every lease quote that comes out of my dealer is based on the max MF allowed (base + .004), and my dealer is far from the only one that does that. Hopefully the fees everyone else was paying weren't too excessive in your case.

If you're convinced all anyone needs to know to negotiate a good lease deal is the Edmunds invoice so be it. I hope it wasn't all the info you had and that you didn't just take the dealer's word that .220 was the best MF availoable at the time
