Need some advice on leasing

[Argo]

First of all, how do you negotiate when you lease a car? When you finance it, you negotiate the final price and then the caclulate the monthly payments. But when you are leasing it there is no final price. So for example, if the dealer tells me it'll cost $350 a month to lease a car, how much should I try to knock off that figure? Another thing, how do the caclulate residual value? Like how much would it cost me to buy the car at the end of the lease.

I understand that the dealer would probably answer all my questions, but I don't want to look like a newbie out there.

you can negotiate the price exactly the same way, your payments will see the affect and sow ill your residual
