Thoughts? Also, since my understanding is all Jeep leases are through their own leasing company, is that MF correct, or is it marked up? I’m eligible for an employee discount so i can shop the deal if it is negotiable and they won’t move on it.
Chrysler Capital program for 2016 Wrangler Unlimited Sport, 36/10K
Residual: 70%
MF: .00183
No lease cash that I’m aware of. No acquisition fee, though.
The residual is the highest I’ve seen for a 36-month lease. I wonder if Chrysler Capital offers a single-pay lease to lower the MF. If they do, it might be worth considering in this case.
As to the pricing, I get Chrysler employee discount, however I found dealers would sell at levels below that. However, they then would make it up by jacking up the mf number. So you had to do your homework. Truecar came in handy as well as cars.com and this forum.
So ended up buying a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Freedom package loaded which retailed for $38,615 yesterday.
MSRP 38,615
Discount $4,564
Sale Price $34,051
Residual: 78%
Money Factor .0025
Paid $1729 down along with paying sales tax, processing and tags up front.
$240 per month for 36 month lease with 12k miles.
Leasehackr.com saved me so much money. I shopped this same jeep between 12 dealers and the highest lease rate was $425. That is a $6,660.00 price difference.
I wonder how many people don’t know any better and get scammed into paying these crazy prices!
Does the money factor given above, come out to 6%? If so, that seems really high. But the Wrangler does have a great residual (buying a used one almost doesn’t make any sense because of that.) My kids (especially the 16 year old) would love this Jeep.
This was through Ally and yes it is higher rate but much higher residual. Chrysler would have been .00193 (4.63%) but residual was only 71%. Ran numbers both ways and saved $12-14 per month so was worth it over the life of the lease.
Yes I did look at 24 month but found 36 month to be the best for me.
One-pay lease is definitely available, as I’ve seen ads for them. Unfortunately, I don’t know what the MF discount is for either Chrysler Capital or Ally. Best to check with the dealer; let us know if you do!
The residuals are lower on Wrangler Unlimited Sahara than Sport/Willy’s/Freedom:
