My wife is in the market for a new car and highly considering the Jeep Wagoneer. She has only ever driven Jeeps and loves them, and with a growing family, it seems like a good fit. However, I keep seeing questionable reviews of the vehicle and its reliability, and not sure if it is the way to go.
Regardless, we are considering the vehicle and not sure if it makes sense to lease or finance. We haven’t leased a vehicle in a long time, and through preliminary searches on Jeep’s website, it seems that leasing this vehicle may be incredibly expensive. We are looking at the Series II and the price tags seem to be in the mid 80s.
Does anyone have any advice on these vehicles, leasing jeeps, the residual values, etc.? Looking for any and all advice on which way to go.
We have heard that time and time again, but have been very lucky with all of the Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep products we have owned over the years, so have a bias . It is just a very high price tag and not sure the best approach if we end up there.
Reviews are a bit mixed, but I have seen quite a few dealers doing low 400s for a lease. I think at that point, it is worth the try given what you’re getting as a package.
Agree. I just leased a carbide series II for 875 sign and drive and it was a great deal. You can prob find a base car for about 650-700 sign but you will really have to shop. I had to ship mine to GA from OH
My wife has one and it’s pretty nice. I’ve owned many jeeps and they’ve all been pretty good to me.
That being said if I could find a carbide like the one mentioned above for $800ish a month I’d probably grab one. I’m in the market in the next month or so.
That seems more in line with what I am seeing. Curious if it makes more sense to go for a lease like that, or finance for a bit more (or same with money down), if we go with it. Looks like there is 3.9% for 72 month which is pretty solid.
Fixed it. Four spaces at the start of each paragraph create this special formatting. Just don’t try to mark each new paragraph with spaces and it should be fine.
Just be careful with Jeep’s full electric / part vehicles at this point. As someone who has done a ton of research on their 4xe, they have had run into a ton of quality issues.
Just wanted to set expectations. If your cool with potentially having the car in the shop for long periods of time (first time full electric jeep vehicle), then go for it.
It is on our list to check out, as well! Their price tag is a bit higher than the Wagoneer, but relatively close, so would revert back to the original question too, as to whether it is primed for leasing or financing
@AutoNinjas has them in the 700s and 800’s depending on trim and incentives. Check out their spreadsheet. Leasing would def be the cheaper route than financing. Ultimately up to you
These depreciate a lot so don’t forget to check used prices.
TBH this kind of one-sided loyalty to a faceless corporation is so misguided especially when they DGAF about taking care of you either through making a great product or stepping up should something go wrong. Look up people’s horrible experience when trying to get these fixed or lemoned.
