I do get A/Z plan pricing. I do not have a lease to trade in. I'm looking to get my payments to $200 or less. The dealer I'm working with is at $229 with $1000 down. Is there room to negotiate? I would like to stay at $1000 out of pocket. I'm not sure if I'm getting the best price. My zip code is 48312.

Friendly advice -- putting money down on a lease (often called capital cost reduction) is a really bad idea. You're basically paying some of your "rent" upfront -- and if something happens that you don't complete the lease (i.e. the car gets totaled) that money is gone, lost, wasted.
I've never put a penny down on a leased car. Put that $1000 in a savings account. Even if it makes your monthly payments a few bucks higher, it's much, much safer.
