Noob to Jeep - Expectations for Wrangler 4xe Rubicon X or High Altitude

Hey all,

I’m somewhat savvy with making a good deal (ended my last Jaguar lease with payoff $10K below market) but haven’t made a lease deal since 2020 and new to Jeep world so I’m hoping to sanity check myself with y’all and make sure I have the right expectations set.

I’m considering either a Wrangler 4xe Rubicon X or High Altitude – tell me if y’all have any preferences / pros/cons, my only must haves are leather seats and sky touch. I have found a couple decent options in terms of selling price but haven’t received an actual lease quote from any. I’ve also run some numbers on the calculator but would love to hear what y’all are seeing and where the line between a “great” and an “impossible” deal is!

Lease terms:

  • 36 or 39, depending on sweet spot
  • 10K or 7.5K miles, depending on sweet spot
  • $0 down, except tax, first mo, drive offs
  • Tier 1
  • 7.75% sales tax rate

Rubicon X example as listed on dealer’s website:
Rubicon X:
$79,xxx
- $5K dealer discount
- $2.5K dealer trade-in bonus
- $2.5K dealer preferred lender bonys
- $7.5K Stellantis cash
- $3,750 Federal EV Tax credit
= $58,135
(I also have a $1K TrueCar or direct Jeep TDM)

  1. Obviously this is a finance deal as listed but am I unreasonable to also expect $58K final post-incentive selling price for lease (including my TDM)? It’s been in dealer’s inventory since beginning of Aug (High Velocity color)
  2. With those number or your experience, what’s the best lease payment I should expect? I’m landing around ~$450 on the calculators but can’t find any comparable deal anywhere
  3. Between Rubicon X and HA, does either have better numbers and lower lease? I know HA has lower MSRP and I’ve found a couple in the $52-$55K post-incentive selling price but can’t tell which one is a better lease deal

Thanks in advance!

Youre asking for $21k off post-incentives. Theres currently $8500 in incentives available on an sfs lease, so youre asking for 16% off msrp pre-incentive.

I don’t see that happening unless you have a dealer that’s very, very desperate to get that one last unit to hit a volume bonus, etc.

Alternatively, you may find a dealer that would do the lease through Ally, giving a big chunk of IDL cash, which wouldn’t actually save you any money, but would allow them to show a much lower adjusted cap cost on paper. Youd just be trading it for way worse lease programs.

Well, with the current recall on almost all Jeep 4xe vehicles due to possible battery fires, you might be able to get such a deal. Just don’t charge it and park it outside…

This doesn’t apply to pretty much every new 4xe on the market. If a unit was found that it does apply to still new, it is on stop sale and couldn’t be purchased.

Rule #1: never go based on a CDJR dealerships listing on their website. They will include every rebate available under the sun, and then still won’t honor the price.
