Yeah, everyone is out to get poor Rodo. You even questioned the one of only few guys here who had good experience with them. Right, @Lvs23? 
Right @Ursus!
I’m that one ghost user who no one seen in real life, nor the car I’ve gotten through Rodo.
I’m actually one of the very few who is still advocating for this app because I truly believe with all its problems it is a tool that can help avoid Accord Hybrids of the world which is a lot more painful to watch than to educate someone to get lease hacker worthy deal.

@Ursus let me guess bud, I work for Rodo as well? Had 2 great deals from them FAR better than a dealership. They are a startup and trying to solve and and modernize one of the oldest, entrenched and franchise protected industries.
They’ve been around for what 2 years? I’m sure they screw up a bunch, but go to app reviews sure seems like a ton of people keep getting cars from them.

That’s a fair review, thanks. Totally different from just blindly defending them for some reason. No one here wants them to fail, but facts are facts. People outside of LH are absolutely happier with them because they don’t mind paying extra $20/mo.
@Ursus we’re not talking about reviews of an Amazon product here, we’re talking about an app that brokers likely don’t like and an app that can, is and will take away from their core livelihood.
I’m not alleging all brokers are doing this, but of course they would have a vested interest in putting out disparaging comments about Rodo to funnel business back to them.
All you need is an email address and you can register 10 times for the site and post whatever you want. So remember who would have a desire to write negative things against an app like this

Its all perspective. Go by strictly your own experience, and rodo works 100% of the time. I go by the experience of the only user I know personally, and it worked 0% of the time.

I went ahead and accepted an offer on Rodo for a 2020 Jeep Gladiator. $317/mo with only first payment due at signing. After executing the order on the app last night, today I received a confirmation email that the vehicle was available and being reserved. Subsequently, I’ve logged a hit against my credit report from Chrysler Financial, who was the listed captive on the order sheet. Should be noted this is the first hard pull that was done throughout the process.
About 15 minutes after that I got notice from Rodo that my application was approved.
About 15 minutes after that I was contacted by the dealership to confirm terms and pickup.

Just seeing what was being offered local. Came across this. About $150 less/month than I could find at any dealer. I think the picture might be wrong. Doesn’t say Rubicon in Description. Don’t want to take a hard hit to find out either.
Obviously that deal is not for a Rubicon when the description says its for a Sport and the MSRP is $38375. Rubicons start at over $43k.
24 hours after placing the order on Rodo I’ve got the vehicle in the my driveway and the dealer matched the Rodo deal 100%. Honestly it was a pretty decent experience and the dealer Rodo connected me with was fantastic. Although I still don’t think the “make an offer” thing works it’s definitely possible to get the deal as advertised.

Could you share you deal, make, model?
Sometimes it feels the process is heavily dependent on that since Rodo is somewhat of a marketplace.
Here is my signed thread;
@Norm, please feel free to post documentation that supports the 3 vehicles that you’ve leased thru Rodo. Lacking any proof, we can write you off as a shill for the company.
Not that I have to prove anything to you. I have a screenshot how do I paste it to this site? Leasehackr doesn’t come up as options?
Give me your email address I’ll send it there!
You can upload screenshots (which would be saved in your photo gallery) from your browser just like any photo
I doubt any paperwork could really support it. Pretty sure a contract wouldn’t say “via Rodo” or anything similar. I’ve seen enough positive reports that I don’t doubt those who claim to get them. It is not guaranteed, though.
I was still debating the Tacoma, but it disappeared out of my showroom, so I presume it was sold. There is another, but it is lower MSRP and few hundred higher due at signing.
Broker, where do you get that from? I’m no broker and Norm is the one coming off as he works for Rodo. Just like some people come on LH and brag about multiple Unicorn deals, people ask them to post their contracts or go away, and typically they never do. If Norm is a 3X customer, he can prove it, but he is also the one who posted that “Hi, I’m Norm from Rodo”.
Honcker ad Rodo used to have users on here answering questions and helping to fix customer Sat issues, maybe nowadays they just have trolls who try to promote their service.
