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?

It is pretty normal for us to ask. it is punded into our heads in sales meetings get a name phone numeber and appointment with evey call. and we get turned down all the time so don't worry about it.
with regards to the lease. generally the customer always has the first option to buyout the lease at the term. Generally though it is not a very good deal to buy the car at the end. it usually is cheaper payment wise to jsut get a new one.
