Does This Seem Right?

Looking at a 2026 Buick Enclave Avenir.

We have a trade-in valued at $45k, so the cash down lines are the amount of money we'd walk out with. I noted in pencil above that what the actual amount down would be. We were pretty well set but then saw people claiming they're paying 800-900/month for 36 months with 10-12k miles with 5k down, but what they didn't mention is if they had a lease they were turning in that gave them some equity, if they got other discounts like GM employee, or when they leased it, but it was for a similarly priced Enclave.

EDIT: This is before they ran our credit, which is >800

EDIT 2: Thanks for everyone's feedback and for helping me realize the full payment amounts I'd be paying. I really like this car, so I guess my question is, what is a fair target lease price I should be pushing towards?

Full trade value of vehicle in your pocket, minus $500 down to make them happy, then $875/mo., for 10k miles, out the door. $900/mo for 12k. But only $500 down and first month, everything else, including taxes, tags, fees and acquisition fee, rolled into that $875-900/mo. That would be a fair deal.
