Lease is ending on my current car (2016 Ford Fusion). Looking at a midsize SUV for next vehicle. Here’s a lease I found:

2019 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk

MSRP $37,535 with all included options & destination

Here’s a direct quote from the dealer regarding pricing:

“This Jeep would be 289.00 per month for 36 months at 10,000 miles per year with a total of 2205.00 down. This down payment includes paying for your first months payment, first years lic and registration, and sales tax paid upfront. It also includes additional money to buy down the payment on the upgraded equipment on this jeep totaling 2205.00”

I was also quoted $326 month with $1,000 down and $357/month sign and drive.

I’m in Minnesota. I don’t know any other numbers as far as residual, money factor, etc.

I feel like the lease on my outgoing Fusion wasn’t that great. Didn’t shop around and decided too fast. Trying to do my homework this time around.

Thanks everyone!

Would you be interested in a limited?

That would save you about $50 per month.

The only requirements I have are:

4WD
Factory tow package
Cold weather package
Turbo 4 or V6

Trim level isn’t really important. I was interested in the Trailhawk because of the advertised lease deal on them. Seemed to be the best based on price/trim level.

I don’t know much about the MN market but I can tell you that the Limited is the best lease in New England.

May be worth getting a quote from your local dealer and compare the two!

You can also pop on edmunds to check the MF and residual for both.

Thank you! I know the owner personally and have been dealing with him directly. They have quite a few Limiteds on hand so I’ll definitely check into them as well. :+1:

Thanks. The Trailhawk is the only advertised lease special in my area.

And I just did a build & price on a Limited and did not see an option to add the cold weather package, so that trim level is out.

Limited Comes with the cold weather package standard.

I’m embarrassed. I didn’t see that. Thanks for clarifying!

In my area it looks like the Trailhawk is about $20/month less than a similarly optioned Limited. I had emailed another dealer who I know and they confirmed that the Trailhawk is the best deal right now.

What did you end up with? I’m looking for the same

We finally made it to the dealership on Saturday and my wife hated it. None of the seats were comfortable for her.

Now we’re looking at a 3-5 year old Grand Cherokee.

14

Why? You can lease a brand new Grand Cherokee for less than $400/month with nothing down,

where are these deals at? a cherokee trailhawk for 289 a month with 2k das seems really good

I got two dealers to quote me 297 and 299 on a Trailhawk Elite MSRP 39,710 and a Trailhawk MSRP 38,500. The trick is to be patient and take your time. They may claim they have given you the best rate but then a manager comes in and gives you a better frail. Also, don’t walk into a delatship. Keep it over email. Lastly, contact as many dealerships as you can over email and try to get price matches and beats from competing dealerships.

P.S. that is with 2,000 due at signing

What region is this?

Would you be blue to she the configurations for those MSRPs??

This is in CA Bay Area Walnut Creek Area. I reached out to any dealership that had a Trailhawk within 50-60 miles of me.
