Locate a Jeep Car Dealership in your State

hi all. so i already signed a lease and am driving my car, but i figured i would post what i paid to see if this was a decent deal... i am located in Long Beach, CA. first off the vehicle 4x2 laredo X 3.6 26X package E group trailer tow group power single pane sunroof 430N media center msrp on sticker with destination charge (925) - $37,060 total agreed sales cost - $34,000 theft code 3 year replace - $350 service/theft insurance -$674 GMAC administrative fee - $795 - gross capitalized cost -- $35819 i signed a 3 year 36000 mile lease with $3000 cash down and $1500 cash rebate, my monthly payments are $411.54 including tax and the theft/service insurance...this is for 35 payments as my $3000 up front included the 1st months payment. my buyout price after the 3 years is $21,400 does this sound like a good deal?

Hi gotgt3, You are correct. My assumption is that the negotiated sales price includes all the applicable discounts (i.e., what you negotiate + any incentives, dealer cash, etc.) A MF of 0.0001 (0.24% interest) is quite good. While you likely can do better on the negotiated sales price, the fundamental problem with the GC is the low RV. And, that's out of your control. You may want to consider a 2012 ML350 Bluetech as that is built on the same platform as the GC. While the MSRP maybe higher than the GC, the RV on Bluetech is significantly higher (~15-20%), and you can likely use MSD to reduce the MF. As a result, for a modest increase in monthly payment, you will get a much more expensive SUV. Unfortunately for me, the 2012 ML350 Bluetech wasn't available when we needed an SUV, so we went with the Jeep. We still love the GC, but from a monthly payment standpoint, I will likely consider the Mercedes when my lease expires. My two rupees. Cheers!

I purchased a new 2011 Jeep Rubicon 2dr for $26120 on 1/27/11. This Jeep is loaded with all options except leather and navigation and was stickered for 34K. I know everyone is hypoing the 2012's with the new engine and transmission but I am extremely happy with my new Jeep. Evidently Chrysler is giving dealers money to sell the 2011/s and my dealer discounted myJeep 8,000 plus

That's a good deal. I wouldn't pay much for the cruise control package, as I think you'll have trouble getting anything for it when you re-sell. It's probably a nice feature for people that do a lot of long-distance driving, but there probably aren't a lot of people who do a lot of long-distance driving AND want the off-road capability Jeep has. But you are getting a solid price for the truck. Also, a friend who works in new car sales told me that most dealers don't go by bluebook for trades. They go by auction values, which are typically 10% or more lower. They usually only hold used cars for 3 or 4 months, and if they don't sell, they send them to auction. So they usually don't like to pay more than auction value since they don't want to lose money. So if you are getting OVER blue book, AND you are getting a good price on the truck, you should take it. The Overlands are getting hard to find, particularly with the saddle interior.

Hi gotgt3, Again, I do not know if Jeep/Ally Financial offer Multiple Security Deposits (MSD) as a mechanism to reduce MF. I'm familiar with the approach as its offered by several European manufacturers, and we've used in connection with leasing Mercedes vehicles. As a result, I would simply ask Jeep finance if they offer MSD as they can educate you on the deposit amounts and MF reduction per deposit as I can only relay info on Mercedes MSD program. Cheers!
