Hi all. I am looking for some LH-style creativity in using an FCA CDI number that I got in connection with a lemon-related early turn-in. I have already gotten the replacement car but didn’t use the CDI to do it. So that leaves me with an extra CDI. I don’t need/want another car, but given how hot the new car market is right now, I am wondering if it is still possible to benefit from the CDI. I could buy an FCA car and then resell it, or I could lease a car and either transfer the lease or do a deal with Carvana, Autonation, etc. How would you maximize value without taking any significant risk? What brand/model would you focus on, and what type of transaction would you do? Thanks LHers!
What does this mean?
Just like everyone else, Read the 4XE thread and figure out a good config to resell.

@max_g, CDI stands for “Certain Designated Individuals”. It is basically a code that allows the holder to access the FCA employee discount (or something close to it).
@forbs, I have followed that thread with great interest. But the 4XE does not necessarily have the largest spread between market value and CDI purchase price, or market value and CDI lease residual value plus early termination costs. To understand all those moving pieces takes some serious insider/hacker knowledge!
True, but it is the best car to get easily. If there was a better car to get and resell then everyone here would be getting it.
Or keep. 
I suppose the TRX or the rarest trim of Wrangler
