But I checked the fine prints. Here is what it says:
Lease: start-up fee includes amount due + 1st payment,tax, title, plates, dest. & doc., rebates and upfront fees plus tax. And also, it says $0 downpayment.

Chrysler/Jeep Money Factor by radfordj

Chrysler/Jeep Dealership is quoting me .0029 money factor for 36 month lease. How can I confirm lower rates that you assert are available from Chrysler/Jeep?

Hi radfordj. Chrysler Financial's new July 36 month buy rate lease money factors for consumers who qualify for its top credit tier are .00203 for 2006 Jeep Commander 2WD and .00196 for Commander 4WD models. I am not aware of any source that provides information on manufacturers' actual lease programs to the general public, but I am positive that the numbers that I just mentioned are correct. If the dealer that you are working with won't let lease this truck using its buy rate money factor, shop around I am sure that you won't have much trouble finding one that will.

Hi Car_Man,
 
Is the July money factor different for a 39 month lease vs. the 36 month figure quoted above? I am being quoted a "rate" of 6% for a 4WD model, which I assume is equal to a money factor of .00500?
 
Thanks.

Hey carman, I'm looking for a JC V6 U package with DVD. Sticker price was 36 and 32 EP. What would be a good negotiated price and how much would I have to put down to keep payments under 300 on a 27 month 15k lease?

It's not a "trick", if you meet the criteria, you can get that deal. Most people just don't meet the criteria, so it's used to drive traffic.
 
If it's a zero down deal, it's gotta be a stripper model with a V6. The big dealer here was offering base models with a V8 (MSRP $32185) for $139mo/27months. That price got you a 28S model with rear AC. To get the price, you had to be DCX employee or immediate family. Couldn't just walk in off the street hoping for Employee Plus, couldn't even be Employee Choice, you had to be immediate family of the employee. You also had to qualify for ALL rebates:
 
$2000 rebate - everyone qualifies
$1000 rebate - lease loyalty (must lease thru DCX)
$500 rebate - military
$2000 rebate - "loyalty bonus" dcx employee or immediate family only
 
$995 due at signing
$700 "or so" in fees according to dealer
10500 miles per year (boosts residual)
 
And yeah, then you could get a stripped V8 Commander, and never drive it. Big deal. Needless to say, I went elsewhere to get our new 65th anniversary edition.

Sanity Check by jamesbbeam

To Carman and All,
 
Yesterday I was offered a Base v6 4x4 Commander at Employee Price. Additionally, they were offering the 2k in lease cash, 1k in bonus cash. Lastly, for "this weekend only", they were offering another Dealer Discount of 1k. That 4k off of Employee Price. Can anybody tell me if there is anymore room to haggle price. My thought is that they will probably get kickbacks from Chystler to compensate them for the employee price as well as 3k of the 4k discount.
 
Also, can anybody give me the reisudal for a base model and money factor. 12k miles per year, 39 months. Just want to double check the dealers quote, I'm in Oregon. Thanks All.

I can't tell you about the residual, but the extra "this weekend only 1k" dealer rebate was a $1500 incentive DCX threw to the dealers at the end of the week to move metal. So the dealer was keeping $500 of the $1500 as profit.
 
FWIW, when the dealer here ran numbers for me, the 24 month and 36 month lease amounts were higher than the 27 month lease. Only by $20/month or so, but still something to think about.

Hi infamous. It is never a good idea to make down payments when leasing, even if it means that you will have a monthly payment than you are comfortable with. You can always use some of the money that you would have put down to supplement your payments or to make a few of them for you. I always advise community members against making down payments on leases because if their leased vehicle is stolen and never recovered during their lease or totaled in an accident their down payment essentially disappears.
  
If you purchase or lease a Commander before the end of the month you can take advantage of DaimlerChrysler's special "Employee Pricing Plus" promotion. This program will provide you with a capitalized cost that is equivalent to the selling price that you would be eligible for if you an actual DaimlerChrysler employee. This program will only run through August 31st. On September 1st DaimlerChrysler will introduce a new incentive program. Rumor has it that it will introduce 0% financing for 6 years for the first time on a number of models for the money of September. If you are not completely sold on leasing this will be a very attractive promotion.
