There is a vehicle on the lot I would like to figure a sample lease for.
BASE 29,290
Options:
Dark Khaki Paint 150
Trailer Tow Group IV 255
Quick Order Pkg 28s 1,340
Rear AC/Heater 610
Adj Roof Rack 75
Destination Charge 695
===========================
MSRP 32,415
Edmunds: Invoice 29,766
What Others Pay 31,193
I'm looking for the information on the 36 month lease 12k and 15k miles. Am I correct in assuming that I should be able to get a little closer to invoice than "what others pay" price? For the sake of argument use the 31,193 and 0 down.
Thanks in advance for your help.
I think that your assumption that you should be able to get a lower selling price than the "What Others Pay" price (Edmunds.com TMV) is very safe. I've found that Edmunds.com's TMV can usually be beaten fairly easily by smart shoppers who live in an area where there is a decent level of competition for their business. Also, when negotiating your lease on this truck, don't forget that DaimlerChrysler is providing $1,000 lease cash plus $1,000 bonus cash ($2,000 total) on it right now. These incentives will help you to negotiate an attractive capitalized cost.
If you were to lease a base 2006 Jeep Commander 4WD (not the Limited model) through DaimlerChrysler financial Services right now for 36 months with 15,000 miles per year, its buy rate lease money factor and residual value should be .00196 and 53%, respectively. The money factor for a lease with only 12,000 miles per year would be the same, but the residual value would be 2% higher. You can plug these numbers and the selling price that you negotiate into the lease payment formula that is out lined in the aforementioned articles to estimate what your lease payment should be on this truck.

Thanks, I did go to those two sites and read up on leases. But, with the 0%APR specials right now, I went with buying a car.
Thanks so much. I learned a lot from your responses to the other customers.
I have some questions regarding car liners for my new commander - could you answer them in this forum? If not, could you please redirect me?
Thanks much,
Misheil

I kept my paperwork and this is the info I have on leases.
On a 36 month lease, they were offering a money factor of .00192 and residual of 52%
On a 27 month lease, they were offering a money factor of .001360 and residual value of 59%
Believe me - I was at the dealer for a couple of hours negotiating AND had a second dealer also negotiating with me. So, for me anyways, this was the best deal.
Do you have some info on cargo liners for the commander? I need a liner that will cover up the entire cargo space - including when the 2nd row seats are down. I have a lab and need the space, but need a cargo liner.
Thanks much.
Thanks for the info -
I am being quoted 54% and .00192 on a pretty loaded Commander Limited w/5.7 Hemi (I think the 2% is coming from the milage -- I am looking at a 12,000 mile per year lease, not a 15,000).
Here is the entire deal -
MSRP - $43,475
Gross Cap Cost - $40,253
- $2,000 in leasing incentives
- $1,000 coupon sent to me by Chrysler as targeted marketing (I have a Lexus GX470 lease about to terminate)
Net CAP Cost - $37,253
Lease comes to $567 all in with nothing down .
I think the price is low enough to dump my Lexus (which I have never really loved). Any problems with the Jeep I should worry about before pulling the trigger (I still have time to stay with Lexus)?
Any idea what running boards should cost?
Couple of MINOR problems/issues:
1.) Sirius Radio. We get a year free service with our Commander. Sirius was jacking me around - all is good now, but after I got ticked off at them. But, be on them. Ask for your user id and password up front/go on line print out your account balance which should be $0
2.) Took the Commander to a car wash. The guys couldn't unscrew the antenna. Had to drive through the wash (was not touch free-but they use a safe material on their brushes)with the antenna flopping around. I seriously thought it was going to break off or crack something. But, it was ok. I called the dealer/parts/service and they said I need a wrench to unscrew it. That's a pain in the rear. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll have to soon.
3.) I have been looking for a cargo liner that covers the entire cargo area INCLUDING when I lower the 2nd row seats. Can't find them anywhere. The dealer said it's such a new vehicle that they haven't created one for it yet.
But, as you can see, they are all minor things. The Commander is great. Get rid of the Lexus - leave the dark side and come to the light.
Running boards through Mopar run about $425. Go to www.autoanything.com and running boards for Jeeps run from $150-$240.
Let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks -
Picking up the JC tomorrow.
Loaded hemi -- List $43,000+, selling price $40,200, less $3,000 in incentives - Cap cost $37,200 - lease price $504 plus tax ($544 all in).
Running board are $500 installed (got tired of negotiating it).
MSRP: $38250 (Base Commander, U Pkg, Nav, V8, Uconnect, + etc)
Sell Price: $30,800(approx)
Lease: 36 months/20k miles per year (I needed high mileage for business purpose, actually 27 mos lease was less)
Price: $448.00/month including tax (MI 6%) $0 due, Sign and Drive
I used a friends DaimlerChrysler Employee Choice # for discount plus $3,000 incentive, plus dealer added additional discount I assume due to special programs on Commander in Detroit area.
Thought I would let you know that there are some really good leases to be had. FYI, load up a base Commander and it is much better value and you don't have to deal with the chrome "roll handles" on the back!!

2006 Commander Limited, 4x4, 5.7 Hemi and tow package. MSRP $40,850. Cars Direct target price $35,781 after $2,500 rebate. Local dealer offered the car to me at $37,425 and a 36 mo lease, 15k/yr for around $720/mo. Plus a first payment/registration fee. I said, "Say what?"
Update: Just got a call back from the local dealer who quoted me $36,244 now... waiting now for lease info update.
I guess I'm not even sure what advice to ask for at this point, but I need to make something happen in the next 10 days or so and would look to you for any guidance you might be able to give.
Thanks for any input you can give me!
Tad
UPDATE:
MSRP $40,925
27 mo lease @ 15k/yr: CAP $36,244. Money factor .00230. Residual 58% + $700 acquisition fee. $640.30/mo + tax. The calculator on this site says it should be $603.21 + tax w/ $650 security deposit(?)
36 mo lease @ 15k/yr: CAP $36,244. Money factor .00230. Residual 51% + $700 acquisition fee. $586.67/mo + tax. The calculator now tells me $562.63 + tax w/$600 security deposit.
By the way, for a base style of 2006 Jeep Commander 4WD, what kind of deals can be considered as good?

Well with the employee pricing (began July 1st),overstock discount(ended july 5),% rate or $2000.oo.I was able to get the price that would work for me.

E.p.- $3423.00
overstk- $2000.00
% rate - 2000.00

final price $24307.00
I bought at branhaven jeep at it was a no hassel deal.
I am however waiting to see if I can also combine the

Note
This deal was only good july 1st thru the 5th.
I belive the overstock dicount has ended.

Is the July money factor different for a 39 month lease vs. the 36 month figure quoted above? I am being quoted a "rate" of 6% for a 4WD model, which I assume is equal to a money factor of .00500?
Thanks.
