I haven't made any deal yet. I put a refundable deposit down. Thats it. They gave me a "Configuration Preview" doc with the following MSRP $40,995, plus options and a destination fee of $1445 for a total price of $50,095. They would not negotiate anything until the jeep is delivered. We'll see how it shakes out and I will be happy to share what they do offer and see if that is good value or not. Clearly, I am not experienced with this stuff and welcome your insight. Thanks.
I have a general question about Leasing. I had a deal on the table for a 2018 jeep Wrangler Rubicon JL that seemed too good to be true. The dealer was using a third-party bank that was giving me a residual rate of 74% and a money factor of .0016. On a 39 month lease with 2K down my payment was about $440 a month.
I filled out the credit application and that’s where the wheels fell off the bus. Instead of using my credit score, which is in the high 700s, they use something called my auto score. Even though the score was coming from TransUnion it was nearly 90 points lower than my regular TransUnion score.
This actually brought me into a different tier of pricing and jacked my financing up over $50 a month! I know that you guys are experts on leasing, is this a common practice?
I appreciate your time and look forward to your answer. Thanks!
But, you can have a pretty high credit score, but not have enough credit history to get the top tier rates. That's just a general explanation. Can't tell you why yours came out differently.

Google “CULA” and you can get a good list of accurate RVs (and a helpful price breakdown tool if you know your other numbers already).
1. Msrp46340
Selling price 41608(me and dealer both agreed 5% under invoice)
Monthly payment become around $400
2. Msrp 46340
Selling price 43608(and this is how the dealer changed the number and they said its same. They convinced me 2k more trade in value equal 2k more selling price.)
They have 21k trade in value so 2k to trade in offset.
It become $470 which I signed.
Now I realized there is big number difference between 1 and 2.(I didnt use the lease calculator at the dealership but i did after I took my Sahara to home.)
Was I trapped?
Please explain to me how it calculated.
so my concern is that how they gave same monthly payment about $470?
when i use lease calculator, it was way different payment came out.
1 was around $400
2 was around $470 which i signed for....
Did the dealer tricked me,,,???
or am i missing something?

Why did you sign for the higher payment?
If you have signed the contract and taken delivery, there isn't much to do at this point, other than to be more prepared when you lease your next vehicle.
You are still driving a $46,000 Jeep Wrangler for $470/mo, which is a pretty good payment.
Enjoy the new Jeep!

Thanks a lot!
I'm not really complaining about my monthly payment $474.
I just wanna make sure I know everything, mathematics.
Like you said, I wanna prepare for next lease too.
$2000 difference is about $56/mo in payment. Add interest and tax and I can see $74/mo difference.

Does that mean the dealer increased $2k for trade value and $2k for selling price on purpose to make higher monthly payment correct?
I got quote from carmax. They gave me 18k for my accord which I could completely pay off with 1k balance. Because my pay off balance was19k.
And then I went to the dealership with the trade in value quote from carmax and I showed it to them. And then they convinced me increasing $2k value and selling price is something..and same monthly payment and I just believe their words..
If the extra $2000 in trade value was put towards the adjusted cap cost, and the starting selling price was also increased $2000, then the payment should have stayed the same.

Hello,
You guys are always extremely helpful! I have been negotiating a 2018 JK Unlimited for about 30 days. I have spent hours discussing prices with several dealers in the area, I have refused to go until I get the right deal. Every dealer I spoke to refused to give me the detail on how they ended up with the payment per month. I have been asking for a quote a 36 mo, 10K lease with 1K down. zip is 91406. Using all the MF and residual info here, I have an idea of what I should be paying but nobody was even close to that. Again, every one refused to send me the breakdown of payment (about 8 different dealers), until today. This is the quote I received, now it makes sense why every dealer was about 45 dollars off on payment vs my calculations. Their residual calculation is on a "Market Value" rather than MSRP. I have never seen this. I have leased many vehicles and all have been based on the MSRP of the car. Negotiate the best price and you have the lowest payment possible.
Is this common for Jeeps? Are you guys aware of this? I have been quoted give or take $20 from every dealer around me.....they all must be calculating the same way.
Can you confirm that the "Market Value" and MSRP are one and the same? Lots of dealer software programs rename that item for some reason.

If it were really "market value", then you wouldn't be getting a discount.

But, I'll agree that it's odd you're getting the same story from multiple dealers.

This is the exact vehicle I am negotiating on. Let me know how this will become clear.
Period.
If the number any dealer uses for the residual calculation isn't this one, they are wrong.

Possible reasons:
1) They've substituted a different, lower price unit for the calculations (likely)
2) Chrysler Capital has a maximum residualized amount for this model (very unlikely)
3) Some other reason we don't know about (slightly possible)
I'm betting on #1.

This is with $1,500 down.
MSRP $43,705
Residual at end of lease $32,779
47,665 msrp. sell price 42,382.
36/12 lease, $3500 total at signing
699 options
1199 fees
3425 sales tax
Net Sales price $47,706
Payment = $518
What cap cost are you using for your payment calculation? What is the dealer using? Figuring out that difference may answer your question.

What does the $3500 cover?
Since we don't know the actual MF, we can't tell you if the dealer is marking it up or not.
Standard MF and 71% for 36/12,
If we assume the MF is .00215, I get a payment of $560/mo with the MSRP and net sales price

I put the 3500 as I knew that would cover the tax. Thats typically what I choose to do on my leases here in Scottsdale AZ. its 7.95%
does the MF and residuals change by zip codes for same state ?

Chrysler has regional programs, but the money factors and residuals don't seem to vary. They definitely won't change by zip code

But, it does seem like a lot of garbage added.. $699 options?
And, who knows what they've done with the money factor.
I'd get the adjusted CAP cost, and how they calculated it. I'll bet you find more garbage in there, once you get the details, and the money factor.
That would be a decent deal with $1000 due at signing, but not $3500

hes saying MF through ally on this deal is .004166
77% residual
the 699 is tint and somethin, I usually wait til the bitter end of the deal to tell them to piss off on that.
and to recap...
47,665 msrp. sell price 42,382.
36/12 lease, $3500 total at signing
699 options
1199 fees
3425 sales tax
Net Sales price $47,706
Payment = $518
479.99 base payment
518.15 total payment
purchase option 35939.75
1st payment 518.15
fees&insurance 1206.25 (499 doc, 687 lieu tax, title 5.50, tires 5, postage 1.50)
upfront taxes 130.75
cap reduction 1644
Ex: .004166 x 2400 = 9.999%
he tells me, he can change it from the .00416 mf and 77% residual to .00195 mf and 70% residual but it will increase my payment 50 more.
Im a lil green when it comes to leases, but I did take a few math classes here and there.
EDIT***
Just emailed me a brand new deal. Suddenly, its 64 a month cheaper. using US Bank, and im assuming his .00195 he mentioned
46675msrp
4975 discount
41500 selling price
699 options
42199 sub total
1212 fees
3354 tax
net sales price 46767
all in payment 454.81
Relative to MSRP, that isn't a bad payment.
What I find interesting is that you're cross shopping a Wrangler with an X3.
