You're putting 5,000 out of your own pocket down? That seems like an awful lot. You should pocket 3500 of it, and bank it, and then pay the higher monthly fee with that 3500 in your bank account instead. This way here you don't lose it if you should get into an accident and total the car . Or look into putting more security deposits on the car, at least you get those back if you take care of it. 5K down is an awful lot for a lease. Monthly payments and money down are proportional, so what you don't put down, you have to offset the higher payment.

I know a guy that put 1000$ down 600$ a month on the same exact car.

I'm certainly no expert on this, and I know leases are negotiable as well as the price paid for the vehicle when leasing, but in my experience as a rule of thumb you can count on about 10% down and a monthly payment about 60% of what it would cost to purchase the car outright. This is without any specialy "promotions" or breaks on the finance rate, etc. As an example a 40K car with 0 down and an interest rate of around 5% would cost roughly $800 bucks a month for 60 months. To lease the same car with $4000 down your payment would be around $500 per month for a term of something like 36 months. These are just rough estimates.
