Both dealers I went to didn't know about the 299 deal either. One said they couldn't do it, the other gave me somewhat of a hard time, but ended up giving it to me.

I pick my blaze red 6-speed up tonight.

I ended up with the following deal, all fees/taxes included:
39mo lease, 12k miles/year
$2400 Cash down
$400 College Grad Rebate
$314/month

residual value around $17k

Also, there is a $300 lease disposal fee, or a $150 purchase fee.

I'd say I got a heck of a deal.
