What is the MSRP of the Jeep?

I am not currently leasing a Jeep so I was told I didn t qualify for some of the rebates
Seems awfully high. The 24/15 isn’t helping you, are you set on 24/15? Don’t forget to try to get the $1000 coupon from the website.
I might bend on the lease term but I have to have 15k miles per year
So dealer is offering only about 7% discount. I am seeing ads locally for $7K below MSRP, but they may include some rebates as well. Seems like you could negotiate a steeper discount. Look for an aged unit that can get you up to an additional $2500 discount.
Did you pick a hackable vehicle to begin with?
Do you mean a specific car or a general year, make, model?
By aged, do you mean a 2024?
If you really like Jeep and an EV is an option, you could get 2 (maybe 3) Wagoneer S Limteds for the same lease cost.
But yes, that’s basically what max is saying. I don’t know whether you can hack a GC or not, but at any given time some models (and trims!) lease way better than others, no matter how good of a deal you can get.
Lots of incentives on shorter term leases (like yours at 24 months) are a powerful lever, and combine that with heavily subsidized lease programs and that’s the sweet spot.
You can get a sense on which vehicles these are by how many deals for a given car you see in Marketplace and Signed Deals forums.
That s the problem I have. I see people posting these deals. How do they get them? Keep persisting until someone caves with the right numbers? I contacted two members on here last week who said they were able to get a 2024 Jeep GC 4x E for $350 down, $350 per month. I asked for the salesperson’s contact information. They said he doesn’t have any more inventory. It was a one time deal lol. I have contacted brokers in the last few months. The brokers always have a reason why the can’t do the deal. I just contacted one a few days ago about the Jeep Grand Cherokee. He said that his Jeep contact can’t ship to CT any longer. It’s always something. I’m beginning to think a lot of this is fabricated. I will call now about the Wagoneer S and I guarantee the numbers will be in the 500s.
It isn’t fabricated. Remember that the deals you are seeing are sometimes the result of a lot of time and effort. Research, crafting a deal, finding your target vehicles, contacting sales managers, etc. all takes time. Most people don’t just get a deal handed to them or ask a dealership what they would like you to pay and get a good lease.
I’m sorry the brokers are giving you the runaround. I would look through all of the good deals on here that have been posted for those vehicles, click the calculator link to understand how those numbers were reached, see if those circumstances and incentives apply to you, and then you can craft a deal and start reaching out to dealers. Contact the sales manager directly if you can. Make everything clear and include all the numbers. Be prepared to go out of state if you need to.
I mean what’s hackable right now in the Marketplace
I’m seeing Mazda CX70 and 90 a lot. It’s probably not the right time for Jeep GC. These things ebb and flow, and you have to pick the right make & model at the right time.
If you’re just calling dealers and asking for prices, you’re almost certain to get nothing but frustration.
Getting a deal on your own takes research, time and an understanding of how to construct an offer that’s what I would call “realistically aggressive.”
The key here is OFFER. You don’t ask how much they want, you’re essentially saying (more politely and with more supporting detail) “I’ll pay ___ and will sign tonight. Are you in or should I move on?”
It takes knowledge and time to be able to confidently fill in that blank, but you can learn all of this on LH. I’ve done a total of three leases in my life, all of which since I joined, and it gets dramatically easier after the first one.
I actually have leased a few cars. I made up the price lol. I will keep persisting.
Thank you all for the advice.
For me, learning how leases are calculated, and then how to gather the required inputs like MF, RV and eligible incentives so I could ably use the LH calculator were the most useful skills I acquired here.
From there you can determine what the market will support in terms of the dealer’s discount from MSRP.
I’m too frugal to make stuff up and wonder how much I overpaid every time I hop in the car. 
The other thing I’ve learned here is that other users are amazingly helpful if it’s clear that someone’s putting in the effort to learn. 
Good luck on your search.
