Details about the CDI number on a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee.
Hi, I'm thinking about leasing a 2014 Grand Cherokee. I have a CDI number. I'm pretty sure that having that number locks the local dealer into the selling price of the vehicle and also requires him to give me all rebates and program money that is available. (let me know if you disagree on this). My question is this: is that dealer also "locked" into giving me the best interest rate/money factor or is he allowed at that point to play around with the numbers so he can make money on the deal from the back end, so to speak. Thanks.

I don't know Chrysler's rules, specifically, but some general observations.joeboy3 said:Hi, I'm thinking about leasing a 2014 Grand Cherokee. I have a CDI number.

1) Dealers usually aren't required to participate in the program, or aren't required to offer it on every car.
2) If they do participate, then your statement is correct.
3) Financing is usually not part of it, and you'll have to make sure you are getting the lowest rate, just as you would on any other purchase.
