For starters I’m new to negotiating lease contracts.
I’m looking into the gmc sierra 1500’s and want to know what a good estimated monthly cost would be for a 26 Denali with the 3.0 duramax. Also what negotiation advice would you give to help me achieve a lower monthly cost aside from putting more down. I’m comfortable with $3500 but would really appreciate putting nothing down. Ideally I would like to get the taxes all looped into the monthly cost if possible. I have found a few I’m interested in and I’m waiting for quotes back and will share before I make a decision but I want to be equipped with the best practices before negotiating any of the deals.
TLDR: first time negotiating leases and I need to know what to look out for, what would be too high of a monthly payment for 36/mo 10k lease. How can I achieve a lower monthly cost with no money down and being upside down in my current lease. How can I negotiate the terms/best practices for this.

I’m looking at a 2025 AT4X with the LZ0 and I’m torn on whether to get that or something else. I know about the 6.2L and their issues but recently there have been some issues with the 3.0. This one specifically has about 15,000 miles.
Should I be worried for reliability on this platform or should I go older and get a 23 or 24? I’ve heard those model years are mostly fine but curious what other people have experienced
