First timer, looking for 2 deals, charger and grand cherokee

I’m in the market for 2 new cars,

First car will be for my wife, a Jeep Grand Cherokee limited with luxury group 2 not to bothered about the color, 2017 model year. is it possible to get a lease for 36/12 for around 350 a month with minimal down.

second car will be for myself and i’m looking for an 2017/18 Dodge Charger scat pack, with drivers confidence pkg, leather, colors grey / black / red. looking for the same terms 36/12 hoping for under 400.

i was priced a 2018 charger yesterday for around 590 a month needless to say i didn’t ask about a jeep for my wife. money factor was 0.00193 with 58% residual, taxes and first payment due.

my area is 28146.

any advice would be great thank you.

@CDJRElliott

Minimal down as minimal drive offs? Maybe if you have employee pricing and in michigan. Search forum for that deal. That one had msrp of 44k though and yours is 46k so 350 doable with those factors.

Interesting, that your wife doesn’t care about color, and you are specific for your car :slightly_smiling_face:

This was the price I was quoted yesterday

Same here. My wife only cares about it being reliable, safe and able to carry kids around. I generally pick the cheapest color lol

Well the jeep is more of a treat to the wife she doesn’t know I plan to buy her one. But I know she doesn’t care about the colors

@Murph2k,

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Seems you are in good hands. We (Dulles) discount our vehicles pretty aggressively, which work well for locals and those willing to drive a bit to get here, but if the vehicle is being shipped, it throws off the money a bit for most hackers.

GCs and chargers are everywhere and your local dealer should be able to at least match the National Lease programs that are being advertised. Unless we have a very rare vehicle build, you may be better served to work through the forum and take it to a local dealer.

@CDJRElliott
I’m willing to make a drive, I like driving and seeing new places. Do you think the prices I’m looking for being unreasonable?

If you’re going to get two FCA vehicles (and can wait the 30 days), then you should definitely look into tread lightly, if you haven’t already.

https://www.treadlightly.org/join-tread-lightly/

The $100 individual membership sets your price ceiling at 1% below invoice (affiliate pricing). I just bought a grand cherokee and when I mentioned I had tread lightly the dealership instantly went from “no way we can do 2% under invoice” to “you want 4% under? no problem, what color?”

Also if you have a current lease (or one recently ended), you should qualify for either conquest (1k off if a non FCA lease) or loyalty (750 off if FCA).

I’m far from an expert, but I did just recently do a bunch of research on both those vehicles. Quick napkin math tells me your desired numbers are aggressive, but totally doable. If you walked into a dealership and said “I have conquest and tread lightly and I want to buy 2 cars right now if you can make the numbers work,” I would be surprised if they weren’t willing to deal. Though I apparently have 8+ Chrysler dealerships near me, so your mileage may vary.

I dont think the 350 for gc is doable. I got one for 440 all in and it was 1600 under invoice. Thats another 3k in discount. Maybe they pushing them hard now so who knows.

You’re probably right. 350 for the gc would be hard, especially when considering taxes/fees.

Assuming gc limited 4x2 with luxury 2 (and no other options), you’d need either about 10k off a '17 or 7300 off an '18. And that’s before taxes/fees.

My thought process was that if you found a '17 that had been sitting for awhile, there are 4k in incentives, 1k conquest, tread lightly is worth about 2k depending on markup, you would only need discount of 3k. Feels like that would still be the dealer taking a loss, but maybe if the pot was sweetened with a charger purchase it could happen. But that’s sort of stars aligning and then realistically you’re closer to 400 once you add acquisition fees and doc fees and whatnot.

I was offering to lease 3 GC and dealers would not bite. Had to do individual deals between 3 dealers/brokers. Best i did without conquest or loyalty was 440 a month with 1300 in driveoffs for a 46,735 MSRP. With loyalty was 444 a month and 600 in drive offs.

Take a look at our discounts on GCs. Add the freight back in and we are still close to 20% off MSRP and a couple of thousand below invoice.

@Murph2k I’m also getting quotes around the same monthly for a challenger up in nyc.
@Dr.O, how well does tread lightly work?
@CDJRElliott pretty nice deals for challengers on your site

Local dealer sent a email late last night offering employee pricing. How much is that. Has to be on a in stock 17. But that doesn’t help me much as all local dealers don’t have what I’m looking for. Almost all the jeeps are 4x2 and no charger scat packs left.

Search forum for GC deal with employee pricing. That is pretty good. How can they give that to anyone?

Has something with helping Hurricane relief. Email just said they were having a sale on any new in stock vehicle with employee pricing.

@Murph2k Employee pricing is great (assuming that’s before incentives). My SA gave me a printout listing invoice, holdback, and the three pricing tiers for friends and family, affiliate, and employee. Employee pricing, for my GC, was about 3k below invoice (don’t have the paper handy for exact number).

@MrJaySport Tread lightly worked great for me. I had to be the one to bring it up, after the dealership couldn’t get me to the price I wanted. They had heard of it, but I gather it’s not as popular now that they’ve added the 30 day waiting period. After they looked up the details of it, they didn’t even flinch at 4% under invoice for me (so I suspect there’s room to go lower). They were concerned about the 30 days at first, but I reminded them it was an order on an '18 and it wasn’t going to be there in less than 30 days anyway.
They wrote up a little sales slip with the price and the conditions that they could back out if I didn’t give them a tread lightly number and I could back out if the MF and residual weren’t to my liking at time of delivery.
Deal was done and vehicle ordered before I even signed up. I signed up that night, took about 5 minutes. A week later I got the welcome packet with a t-shirt, some pamphlets, and a paper with an affiliate number and date of activation. I brought that paper to the dealer when I took delivery, 43 days after the order, finance guy made a copy and everything went super smooth.

How much was the MSRP of your jeep? I leased one recently and I got a lower payment but with 2k out of pocket.

46,735. Limited with lux 2 and blindspotu
