Looking to review my options to go back to a 3 row suv (3 kids). We got rid of our 2013 Durango for the Pacifica a few months prior to our third baby for convenience, but quickly realized the minivan experience wasnt worth the “convenience”. The Challenger was leased as a “fun car” in Dec '15, and with 485hp it still is. However, with this car fun time is limited and we only put 9kmiles on it in a little over two years, and I just dont feel the need to keep paying 428/mo for the limited use. I have to find the original window stickers for both ( and I will posted when I find them) but I recall the window sticker of Challenger 43575 and the Pacifica at 38,500. These are my first two leased vehicles and the plan trade both in sometime soon for a 3 row suv (unless i can jam three car seats in an f-pace - wishful thinking). First time posting, and I just started exploring this forum. Any insight on these deals or moving forward would be greatly appreciated. Also I am just outside Philly (19026) if that factors into any local offers.
Thanks.
Looks like my photos of each transaction didnt/wont post. What am I missing?
What are you asking? For comments on your existing leases? For SUV options? Are they leases? You say you purchased at one point then refer to the cars as leases elsewhere.

Yes, I am looking for comments on existing leases, but post is incomplete since my photos of each transaction wont upload. I compressed them down in size and still wont upload. Are there requirements for new members to upload in a post?
I changed the word purchased to leased. Both current vehichles are leases. Do specific brands generally offer better lease programs over another?
We would likely go back to Durango (R/T), but on paper would consider Atlas/Subaru Accent (comming later this year)/ Highlander. Not really a fan of the new Traverse…nor the Tahoe…
Is there more value in leasing a “luxury car” due to generally higher resale – Volvo XC90
Sorry for the random points, we are going to the Car Show this weekend with the hopes to narrow things down
Evaluating your current leases isn’t relevant; all kinds of factors could have been different back when you picked those cars up that are not the same today.
Questions to ask are:
-
You have 2 leases you want to get out of early(?) or are they ending? Unless “trading” these cars in gives you positive equity which I doubt, you would be rolling your losses from selling them into your new lease. Consider finding someone to take your leases over via transfer
-
Decide what car you want and get an initial quote for posterity, post it here and people can help you
