#39 of 45 Re: Finance Charge seems a bit over price? [kyfdx] by GeeSlimmy Apr 06, 2009 (6:53 pm)
Replying to: kyfdx (Apr 06, 2009 8:31 am) The Total Price is $26,955.00 with Taxes included. I didn't realize that the finance charge was going to be $4,908.88 and the Amount Financed (borrowed) would be $25,465.04. APR is 5.90.   This is a limited Fully loaded with Sun Roof, Sirius Radio XM, Uconnect, Ugps system installed plus all leather seats and stereo system. The price is $421.86 per/mo. for the 72 mo. term. The dealer just mentioned I'm getting an employee price and if i want the monthly cost to be less then i would need to put more then $2000.00 down.
#40 of 45 Lease cost on car seems high by GeeSlimmy Apr 06, 2009 (9:37 pm)
One other thing why is the lease price so high? It comes out to $16963.83 for 39 mo. Basically this means I would be paying for over half of the total cost in 3 years! ouch!   Mo. cost for lease with $2000 down is $434.97 Replies to this message: kyfdx (Apr 09, 2009 3:01 pm)

Replying to: GeeSlimmy (Apr 06, 2009 9:37 pm) 5.9% gibes with my reverse calculation... That's just math.. Six years is a long time to borrow money.. The A in APR stands for annual... So, 5.9% of the average balance, each year of the loan.   As far as the lousy lease payment? Low residuals, plus high money factors (interest). Since Chryler Finance isn't leasing, they have to run the lease through an independent bank. That bank only makes money on the finance charges... they aren't concerned with car sales, so no extra incentives to lease.   At these prices, I think I'd learn to like something different..
#42 of 45 Patriot Incentives? by mb789 Jul 21, 2009 (7:13 pm)
Anyone speculating on what the incentives will do next month? In my area, there is a $1500 cash allowance until the end of July. Since next month most people will be concerned with back to school, do you think the incentives could sweeten? Replies to this message: Car_man (Jul 22, 2009 1:49 am)

Replying to: mb789 (Jul 21, 2009 7:13 pm) Hi mb789. I've heard that Chrysler told its dealers that it will change its July incentives on most models either today or tomorrow. Unscheduled revisions to incentive programs are usually enhancements, so there is a reasonable chance that the incentives on the Jeep that you are interested in will be better later this week than they are today. Of course, it is difficult to tell exactly what automakers will do with their future incentive programs with 100% accuracy.   Car_man Host Prices Paid: Buying & Leasing Experiences Forum
#44 of 45 Are Patriots Flying off of the Lots? by mb789 Jul 27, 2009 (4:24 pm)
There are some hefty incentives on Patriots right now -- any new owners out there? What was your buying experience like?
#45 of 45 Just bough in a rush by wjz87 Jul 30, 2009 (6:25 pm)
Not under CARS program, but still bought my first Jeep Patriot. 4X4, CVT2, 26E, sunroof, wheel/tire. MSRP $25,085. Paid preferred price $23668 - $3500 incentive = $20,168+ Tax 6%+Doc $100 + ~89 title/plate. Free 6 oil changes + lifetime inspection.   Bought it concerning (1) rollover safety (w/ 1600MPa strength B-pillar), (2) warranty (for CVT), (3) gas mileage (should get 24/25mpg) and price/incentive. Considered Ford escape 2009, Chevy Equinox 2010, Subaru Forester 2010, Mazda CX-7. Never considered Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Nissan Rogue, Mitsubishi Outlander.   Wanted safety/security pkg, but couldn't get it.
