Do NOT be afraid to negotiate your lease assumption with a Seller! Seller's are often more willing to negotiate the terms of the transaction than you think.
Your lease assumption is absolutely negotiable, but you need to understand what is and is not negotiable. Negotiating with the Seller is easy to do and can be done through e-mail if you are uncomfortable negotiating over the phone or in person. Typically it is not unreasonable to ask the Seller to offer some sort of incentive if the deal is not already below market. This may be one month's lease payment, a few hundred dollars or an aftermarket stereo that is left in the vehicle.
Your options are endless, but it never hurts to ask.
