This is my second Ram lease and one might ask why I went with an overloaded Laramie vs moving to a Limited or a Tungsten. The answer in short was the Laramie had a significantly better residual and money factor. Dealers are also discounting Laramie more due to higher inventory. The tips and tools here were fantastic and gave me so much more confidence negotiating this lease…so much so that one dealer asked if i am “in the business”
This is the exact deal I’m trying to get now. What region are you? Any advice for getting a similar deal? Sticker that I’m looking at is $79,000 and it will be my first new vehicle purchase so trying to educate myself - been browsing for a while, but the market has changed quite a bit the last 6 months. Appreciate any insight you could share.
I am in Minnesota. The biggest thing that helped me is that in my area, most of the Ram dealers are posting significant discounts. They ranged anywhere from 5-12% off msrp (sometimes you have to figure out if they are including the $6500 in finance incentives). When I found the one that I wanted, I reached out through their website and basically included:
Stock#
MSRP
Offer/sale price (I offered essentially 11% off msrp)
List rebates
Final sale price
Lease terms through Stellantis (not CCAP)
39/12k - residual 56% - MF 0.0005
No trade but I provided VIN for the Ram I was turning in to qualify for the lease loyalty.
provided the Rate Findr monthly payment without taxes and fees as an approx monthly payment (I ended up rolling taxes and fees into my payment because the finance fee is so low).
I told them that if we could make those numbers work that I would put a deposit down over the phone and when I could come in and pick it up( the vehicle i really wanted was about an hour away).
Hope that helps and good luck!!!
Just tried an AutoNation here in South Florida and was only able to get $799 for the $79,000 sticker Laramie. Don’t have loyalty or anything but $1,000 online cash allowance. FCA Affiliate not valid yet.
