hey guys, curious your thoughts here. It’s a very tough market for Jeep right now in Northeast, low supply, high demand, not many incentives it seems. This car is fully loaded with basically everything but the exterior package. But has sunroof, alpine stereo, advanced safety package. Let me know how I did.
I feel like some of these dealers are trying to milk this “inventory shortage” as much as they can. A 6.8% discount on a Jeep Compass seems so bad. Granted I haven’t spent much time looking at Jeep leases but not even 7% doesn’t seem great.
Are you married to the Jeep Compass? Any other vehicle options?
Invoice means nothing. It’s a trick they use to make you feel bad and believe that’s what the car is costing them. Doesn’t take into account all the kickbacks from finance, holdbacks, dealer cash, bonusses etc.
This compass lease program isn’t that great - no incentives & a MF equivalent to 3.36% APR plus NJ FCA dealers are tough. That said, the discount is decent (about 4% below invoice) and this is a very high MSRP unit. You probably could have gotten into a lesser equipped Grand Cherokee for the same payment, but this seems like a good deal for a loaded-out Compass.
They applied these incentives directly above (totalling $5,000) to the downpayment, so on the contract it looks like there was $7,000 down ($5,000 of these incentives, plus my $2k)
Is that right or should they have applied them to the MSRP?
I haven’t signed the deal yet so any advice would be great before I go back to dealer tonight

Direct to consumer incentives generally get applied like that. Direct to dealer incentives get added to the selling price. Everything you have listed looks like it’d be a direct to consumer incentive, so seems appropriate to me.
