If my research is correct, this deal can only work for former CDJR owners right? That In-Market discount is basically loyalty.
Can someone confirm?
At the rate this burns kWh that $600 is good for what 2000 miles?

Yes, that’s correct. If you “only” have the regular TDM code the deal would be $1,000 worse.
I’m still confused about what incentives apply to a lease.
I’m looking to work a deal on a Scatpack, have a current Jeep lease, and I can get the Employee Program discount, which is supposed to be 1% under invoice.
Which incentives can I stack on this lease, and will it stack with employee pricing? I assume I can generate a code for $1000 from the website like I did with the Jeep as well.
Wish the southeast got these incentives, we only get $16,500. Not counting any BEV money.
Are you referring to Employee or Affiliate? Two different programs with different pros and cons. Affiliate is 1% behind invoice (Dealer can go lower) and Employee pricing (EP) is 5% behind invoice, I’m unclear as to whether a dealer can go deeper with EP. While the bigger discount sounds like a win, the reality on these lease programs is that it can cost you thousands of rebate dollars that only affiliate gets. Affiliate currently has additional regional cash and you can stack a TDM code with it. Employee does not get those. I’d suggest becoming a supporter to access the RateFindr page so you can see what you are eligible for and construct a target deal.

Thanks. My dad is retired from Chrysler, so I qualify for employee pricing, but if affiliate is better in that it can stack incentives, that definitely might be the way to go. When we leased the Grand Cherokee 4xe 2 years ago we did employee pricing, plus the $7500 EV credit, a large discount from the dealer, and half the TDM code.
Got a choice to make: R/T for 100/mo or Scat Pack for 220/mo
Both sign and drive. Scat has the “plus group” package and the R/T doesn’t. Trying to decide if the scat is worth the extra $$. Anyone drive them both and have thoughts?

I drove the R/T and I thought it was a bit of a pig. My hope was that the upgraded suspension was going to be an improvement on the Scat Pack but I didn’t get a chance to try it out. That said, I was still OK with what the R/T provided for the right price. I think the Plus group is worth getting if the deal is good and worth living without if the deal is great. Carbon package is a waste of money IMO. Blacktop package really depends on the car color, etc.

Can you share any of the details on the number breakdown of your Scat Pack deal, please? In my opinion, since you get the stage 2 for “free” at the moment, the extra horsepower is worth it on a car that heavy.
Got a new quote, let’s see if this will fund, doubt it tho
Got my magic #s of around $100/m:)

There’s no reason this wouldn’t fund. There’s $9x/m worth of depreciation
Rent charge is only like $10/m on these
In theory someone can get one for $10/m all in sign and drive if someone went deep enough

Net selling price and residual, has to be at least $500
On this quote, it’s -$1680, unless you get $1680 in add-on. Making it not worthwhile.
Oh didn’t know SFS had that rule.
Usually the banks only care that depreciation isn’t negative. (Net cap cost - residual)
Ask for a check

I believe that there May be ways for them to use some money as “working cash” to structure the deal to pay for things that aren’t necessarily discount off the car. Taxes, fees, etc.
That is a heavy 16% discount, nice job! Most I’ve been able to get is 11.5% so far and I’ve passed. 2024s getting real slim inventory around Colorado too. May push me out to April and see if 2025s get the current 2024 incentives.
I’d love to snag one of these near CO and bring it back home, registering for the CO EV rebate outside of the deal just on my taxes next year. It seems CO dealers are a little less aggressive in discount because they know they have $4100 CO EV rebate in their bag.
I welcome any leads for a Scat Pack in red, orange, or Destroyer Gray - if someone is going to pass on one.
Btw, I completed a more thorough look at the Plus package option that is either $5k stand-alone or $3500 if you already have Track package. I’d say its really not even close to worth if you can get one without and lower the payment accordingly. If it’s thrown in because its on a high spec car and the dealer is pricing it to move, sure take it. I found it was ~$50/mo less without, getting me to about $150/mo.
I appreciate everyone on here really hunting these deals down. Hopefully, we all come away with a unicorn!

Along my journey, I have dealers give me rebates ranging in $25.5k - $26750, if you don’t know where the extras come from, there is always a catch:(
2024
One quoted me $429/m with $6.9k das, rebates $26750. asked how you get those #. They can’t even tell you, saying those are the #s, you either take it or you can go some place else. Shaddy business
2025
One quoted me $497/m with $0 das, rebates $21500
, told them our #s don’t match. Turns out they are only giving you parts of affiliate, it’s either $4k or 1% below invoice. Not both:(. Another shady dealer.
A couple are honest and transparent, very upfront, no gimmicks.
