Before anyone tells me about how bad of an idea it is....this is for my business.

My personal car doesn't have AC, rear main seal leakage, broken seatbelts.....blah blah blah.

Since I've never really bought a car, or leased one before...any warnings from people here at TWW for what I'm looking in a lease?

Just make sure to read the terms over very carefully, particularly things like mileage and maintenance. My dad's company leases a lot of cars and those seem to be the areas they get screwed most often when the person arranging for the lease doesn't do their homework.

If you want some shorter terms leases without all the out of pocket, check out leasetrader.com. Basically, people that need out of their lease, will turn the lease over to you. Do your homework before you do it, though.

yeah mileage can really fuck you hard, be careful of that

If you drive a lot of miles for business this will not end well.

You basically have an allowance for miles and once you go over it bend over.

you can usually negotiate 12k or 15k miles a year...or something different depending....

The average is usually 15 cents a mile over 36k or 45k (depending on your annual mileage allowance)
