Car Buying Advice - Lease Pricing: 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk

jcraigson

This is my first time leasing and first time with a Jeep. Can you please let me know if the following is a good deal?

- 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trail Hawk with Luxury Group
- MSRP $47385 - $2900 discount = $44480 Adjusted cost.
- $0 down
- 10k/36 months
- I'm in Chicago (cook county) so subject to a 9% tax ( of the payment amount)

The best deal so far was $602/month (out the door)

Is this a good deal or can I do better?

It's not bad, but IMO you can do better. Looks like you're at about $1k under invoice. Hold back is just under $1500.

If you can wait 30 days (or this is an order), look into joining tread lightly. For $100 the membership gives you a max price of 1% under invoice (basically friends and family pricing).

When I mentioned tread lightly to my local dealer, I was able to get friends and family pricing minus holdback (total discount of just over 4500 before incentives) with almost no pushback (which tells me I could have done better, but w/e).

Almost three thousand dollars off the price of the car? Sounds like a good deal to me.

First time leasing, so be very, very, VERY attentive to the details in the contract; watch out for any fees that look like nonsense; do NOT pay in advance for spare key insurance, flat tire insurance, invisible grill protector, etc, etc.

Enjoy!
