Any money you put down on a lease is like a sunk cost. It reduces your monthly payments, but say you have a 3 year lease and after 6 months your car is totaled. You were only able to receive reduced payments for 1/6 of the life of the lease, so only 1/6of the money you put down essentially went back to you. When your car is stolen/totaled, insurance pays off the leasing company for the value of the car, and your contract is done. So thus, any money you put as a down payment is gone forever.
