Here you go, Jen. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 24 month lease of a 2008 Jeep Liberty Limited 4WD with 15,000 miles per year are .00240 and 57%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 30 month lease are .00219 and 54%. The 36 month numbers are .00219 and 51%. Chrysler is currently providing a $1,500 cash incentive on leases of this truck. It has additional bonus cash on top of this in certain regions.

Please explain lease "rent charge" by jen_b

We are going to turn in our jeep liberty lease tomorrow and hopefully sign the contract to lease a 2008 liberty, but some things are not lining up as far as the payment is concerned. If I plug in the EXACT numbers the dealer gave me into the edmunds.com lease calculator, it gives me a payment of $30 less per month. I'm concerned that there are some hidden fees being added into the dealers calculations. For them to be $30 higher per month is quite a difference. Any thoughts???
 
Also, I was looking over my current contract and I dont fully understand the RENT CHARGE, it is an amount on top of the depreciation that my monthly payments are based on. Could someone please explain what that amount all includes, Im assuming the interest is included in that figure, anything else? Thanks!!

The rent charge is the interest or finance charge... That's it..
 
Depreciation + finance charge + tax = Payment..

Thanks for clearing that up! Mine seems awfully high on my current lease, and I am determined to get the best deal this time around.
 
The depreciation amount on my current lease is $9758.40 and the rent charge is $4331.52, that seems outrageous to me, I'm wondering if that also includes the extra miles we purchased, we paid for 15,000 miles/year? How would I figure what the interest rate is, based on these figures?

Take your rent charge... $4331
Divide by the term.. 48 months.
Result: $90.23/month
 
Add your net cap cost and your residual amount. Just as an example.. $20K + $11K = $31,000
 
Divide $90.23 by $31,000 = .0029.. This is your money factor
 
Multiply .0029 X 2400 = approx. 6.96%.. This is the equivalent APR of your lease, assuming your CAP and residual are the same as above..

Thanks, my mind is turning to mush trying to calculate all this at the last minute. I calculated my current lease by your instruction at 6.48% APR, not as high as I was expecting.
 
We are currently being quoted a money factor of .00259/6.2% for an 08 Liberty Limited, I think that seems high based on the fact that we qualify at their top tier level. Do you think this seems high? We could probably find a better rate, but then we would have to give up some of the incentives, so...
 
Thanks for all your help. )

I'm not well-versed in Jeep lease programs.. This is actually Car-man's gig over here in lease questions.. He has all of the inside information on the actual numbers.. I'm just familiar with the math..
 
He will roll through here periodically to answer money factor and residual questions..

Early Termination of Lease on 06 Liberty by cbam
Aug 10, 2008 (1:19 pm)

I have three payments left on my 06 Liberty, I want to come out of the lease now. Will I just have to pay the 3 months payments, plus the $300 early lease termination fee or will I have other penalties?
 
Thank you

Hi cbam. As long as you make your final three payments, I don't see why you would have to pay any penalties.
