HOW TO GET A GOOD WRANGLER 4XE Deal; Buckle up for a LONG read! (Part 3)

I read this a few times and I am still not 100% clear, maybe I just don’t need to understand this 100%. :laughing:

In simple terms, for me, will I be ok if I do $500 (or roughly the first payment) as DAS, and then monthly payments? I have signed a 6-month agreement, so I cannot sell it before that time. I really wanted to keep the vehicle full term but then the new payments (after the change in MF and RV) has made me think again on whether I keep it full term.

The important difference here is that the “sign and drive” triggers ccap paying the first payment for you, further lowering your buyout. A $0 das does not.

In both cases you would not come out of pocket at lease signing, but with the sign and drive, your buyout price starts lower.

Are there any current promotional codes for Tread Lightly?

Hello Hackrs!
I would like to purchase the 4XE (Texas State … so not a lease for sure)
Hopefully I will be able to claim 7500 rebate and keep it for sometime.

What is the best config for flipping?

I am thinking of placing an order with Farrish_CDJR

The only caveat is, I will have to use their in house financing

Thanks!

If you have to buy it, I wouldn’t plan on flipping it.

Order what you want to drive if you get stuck with it is usually the best advice.

But the more options you add the less profit in a flip.

And if you’re paying tax on it, that’s probably all your profit in this environment.

Does Carvana and the other online appraisals lowball when you do not enter a VIN or the vehicle has not been registered? For fun I started seeing what sort of offers I could expect on a 2022 Rubicon that is waiting for shipping. A 68K MSRP and carvana offer was 46k :frowning: I put the VIN in and it came back “we’re stumped”, I assume because it’s too new/not registered. I plugged in with VIN my 2022 Sahara MSRP 60k and they kicked back ~52k.

Oh okay… thank you…
Looks like I am late to the party then :slight_smile:

In the process of closing my very first purchased flip (TRX) and it wasnt a bad deal.
So I thought , 4xE can be next :slight_smile:

Oh I didn’t know sign and drive would lower the buyout but that makes sense since CCAP makes first payment. The mf markup is negligible for flips. Wouldn’t’ it be more beneficial to do sign and drive for flips?

It’s basically only beneficial to do it for flips.

In my experience, Carvana will not give a real offer until the VIN pulls some records on Autocheck.

Rob didn’t do it for you?
He did for me without me asking

Same story with CarMax.

Apologies if this has been discussed earlier in this giant thread, but has anyone flipped their one pay lease?

I’m not in love with my 4xe, and CCAP already makes it extremely difficult just to get my payoff quote. Wanted to know what things I needed to pay extra attention to if I sell the 4xe. Mainly having to do with the rent charges already paid in advance.

TIA

Rent charge is earned monthly, so your payoff on the one pay will actually start out a good bit below the residual value. Each month, it’ll get closer to the residual value by the rent charge amount.

The biggest issue with one pays in regard to flipping is if you’re in a monthly tax state as the one pay pays all the tax upfront, so you don’t get any of that back.

CCAP doesn’t make it extremely difficult to get the payoff quote… you just have to call and ask.

I’m in a no tax state. So that should be a plus I guess.

So the payoff should be adjusted cap cost - total one pay + accrued rent charge?

As far as payoff goes. The fact that I can’t get it online is strike one. And I’ve called and their automated system does not provide it either, strike two.

Extremely difficult was an embellishment, agreed. But they don’t make it easy compared to other oems, I should say.

Edit: got the payoff. Thanks Matt

+1. I didn’t get a hit on my credit, as of today (submitted yesterday).

Mitch said they just include the app in the file for when you take delivery. If I understood him correctly…

Today is the first day autocheck had records for my sahara but carmax and carvana gave me decent offers at the start of the week.

Not quite. Your one-pay included all the rent charge. So your payoff is cap cost - one pay - unaccrued rent

In other words, your payoff now is lower than tomorrow
