No, its never the payment that is important. All the other aspects of the deal are very important, and the payment is a by product of all the other factors. Regardless of purchase or lease.
In general, have you noticed that when you first sit down with a dealership sales person the first thing they ask you is "how much do you want to pay per month"? This is when I usually laugh and get up an walk away and ask for someone who will not insult my intelligence. But most Americans seems to think in term of payments, and once you say I'd like to pay $400 a month, they could sell you anything by playing with any of the other factors. There are many levers to an deal, but payments is not one of them
