Answer
If your lease agreement shows that $200 cash was due at signing, and the dealer didn't collect it, then you're probably obligated to pay it.  On the other hand, if there's no mention of cash due in the contract, then I don't see how the dealer can make you pay it.  Please keep in mind that lease agreements and the laws governing them vary from state to state, so you should check with your state consumer-protection agency before you go any further with this.
