#180 of 219 08 Commander Residual values and Money factors by steeler86

Oct 15, 2007 (1:06 pm)

My wife and I are planning on getting a 2008 Jeep Commander or Grand Cherokee when our current GC lease is up. In the Grand Cherokee forums someone posted that the current GC numbers are as follows.
 
36 months....12,000 miles = 46% at a money factor of .00002
 
39 months....12,000 miles = 45% at a money factor of .00028
 
My question is, Are these numbers the same for a Commander Limited (or Overland)? And if not can someone provide me with the current Commander offers? Thanks of any help you can provide.

You're welcome, David. Getting out of a lease well before its scheduled end date is usually not a very good idea, but if you and your family just cannot deal with having a smaller truck for the next couple of years then I guess that's what has to be done. As far as the Commander lease that you are interested in goes, I personally think that the selling price that the dealer is trying to charge you is too high. If you are in an area that has a decent level of competition, I would not be surprised if you were able to get one for $500 over dealer invoice (the one that is available here at Edmunds.com, not the inflated one that the dealer showed you).

Welcome steeler86. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Jeep Commander Limited 4WD with 12,000 miles per year are .00068 and 47%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease are .00120 and 46%.
  
Chrysler Financial's current 36 month, 12,000 mile numbers for the '08 Commander Overland 4WD are .00008 and 44%. The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease of this truck are .00064 and 43%.
  
When negotiating your lease on this truck, make sure to take the $3,000 lease cash that is currently available on it into account. It will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost. Chrysler is providing an additional $500 to $1,000 bonus cash on top of this lease cash in certain regions.

Id like like to lease a Jeep Commander and would it be plausable to find one for $300-$350 a month. Starting Msrp for 2008 is 28,110. but I dont mind getting an '06. it should be less expensive? how is the best way to approach getting what i want if i had to negotiate?

We're looking for an '08 or '07 Commander 4x4 with remote keyless entry, roof racks, and possibly remote start, 5-passenger. Don't really care about any other specific features. 12k miles/year. 24-39 month lease period (whatever gives us the best deal). Zero down (except what we have to put down -- tax, title, license, 1st month's pmt, etc.).
 
One of our grandmothers worked for Chrysler, so we can get some sort of a discount that way (not sure how much of a discount it is). With current rebates, it looks like there's a $3500 rebate plus $1500 bonus lease cash. We're in Detroit. We don't qualify for returning lessee discount.
 
What's the best I can do in terms of monthly payment? I understand the concept of residual value, but can someone explain the buy rate lease factor?
 
Basically, I want to be able to walk into the dealer and say, "If you can lease me a Commander 4x4 for $XXX, consider it done." If not, I'll walk out the door. I just am trying to figure out, based on all the info I listed above, what the $XXX should be.
 
Thanks for any help in advance! I truly appreciate your time and assistance. I've never owned a Chrysler and am new to this whole line of vehicles, but the rebates seem so good right now that we're giving them a hard look.

Hi bldyi. You should be able to lease a Jeep Commander for the $300 to $350 per month that you are shooting for, but to hit that payment range you would probably have to go with a base model like a Commander Sport. If you want to lease you definitely should go with a 2008 model. Chrysler is not providing lease support on the 2007 or 2006 Commander any more. I would be happy to estimate what the lease payment should be like on the truck that you are interested in if you provide me with its MSRP and selling price.

Hi juna. I would be happy to work up a lease payment on the truck that you are interested in for you. Its exact payment will depend upon what its MSRP and selling price are. You never mentioned them so I will have to make some assumptions for now. I will assume that you are interested in a 2008 Jeep Commander Sport 4WD that has an MSRP of $30,805 and a dealer invoice price of $28,351. For now I will assume that you are able to lease this truck at dealer invoice minus the $3,500 lease cash and $1,500 bonus cash ($23,351). According to my calculations, your 36 month, 12,000 mile per year, zero down, pre-tax monthly payment for this truck would be around $280, which is a heck of a good deal.

Greetings mrj0001tj. This truck's lease program varies by term allowance. For now I will assume that you are interested in a 36 month lease with 15,000 miles per year. Let me know if you want something different. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2008 Jeep Commander Sport 4WD with 15,000 miles per year are .00152 and 48%, respectively. When negotiating your lease on this truck, make sure to take the $3,500 lease cash that Chrysler is providing on it into account. Chrysler is providing additional bonus cash on this model in select regions.
