Is that common to ask for people;s numbers, was i rude?
what I talked to him about was how could you pay $250/month on a $26,000 vehicle. It was a 10% down + 4 year lease @ 0%. If a person did lease, and at the end of the term wanted to keep the vehicle, could the dealership have the option of keeping it, even if the consumer wanted it?

Just IMO and I could be wrong, but you shouldn't ever put money down on a lease - it is essentially like throwing that money away.
If you want to put money down, and you plan on keeping the car, I think it would be better to finance it and pay the higher monthly payments.
