Hi folks! I just got the quote from the dealer on a new 2022 New Grand Cherokee Lmited. I did not sign it because I don’t believe it is a even good deal there. I would like to share the info here and appreciate any thoughts and comments on it. I am in Seattle, WA.
Thanks in advance!

I don’t know the MF but I estimate it in the calculator, which is roughly 0.00264, if I am correct.
Look at the brokers on this site and see if they have relationships with dealers in your region to minimize your shipping/pick up costs. A broker will also help you get the best deals and ensure the dealers honor those deals. You can do all of this on your own but it will take more time and frustration. I used LeaseCompanion for two deals and they have been superb. The incremental savings I got more than offset their fees.
Leasing ‘well’ relative to the market, is there a comparable 3-row that’s feature loaded with an actual 3rd row that’s semi comfortable leasing in this range? Highlanders are slightly smaller and arguably less luxurious (but the best value because of resale), palisade/tellurides don’t lease well, forget the lux 3-rows, the only thing I can think of is possibly the pilot but that’s getting pretty dated
The problem with this theory is that it detaches one from reality. It turns the consumer into the proverbial frog in increasingly warmer water which will eventually boil… but who keeps thinking “I’m only relatively a little warmer than I was a minute ago.”
A $700 GCL lease looks better than a $800 Telluride lease … and a $800 GCL lease looks better than a $900 Telluride lease … and a $900 GCL lease looks better than a $1,000 Telluride lease … see where this is going?
Besides, the OP was looking at a 2-row GC which shouldn’t be compared to 3-row vehicles. What’s a better comp for the non-L GC… Passport? Venza? Sorento/Santa Fe? How much should one pay to lease a similarly equipped GC before it makes more sense to buy one of those?
