I am a newbie here, and I am bout to buy my first Jeep. Always have had pickups and this time I decided I was going with a Gladiator. Also decided I would lease for 39 or 42 month term. 12k per year, up to $1500 down, no more. I had a couple quotes, most for roughly $375/mo with $1500 down and 12k a year for a sport S that had an MSRP for about $46,500. I found the Jeep I wanted with the options I wanted about 60 miles away. I was about to make a deal over the phone when all of a sudden the salesman advises me that the car has over 4000 miles on it. I was caught off guard, and then he says that the "bank still looks at the car as new if it's under 5000 miles." I politely said, that I'm not the bank and that is a lot of miles for a "new" car. Am I crazy here?
I would still consider getting the car, but not when I was quoted the same price for one that has 20 miles on it. I'd be interested in some opinions here from long time Jeep owners of those who have just bought or leased. Also is $375/mo and $1500 down for Sport S with an MSRP of $46,500 a good point to be at compared to what others have been seeing in the NJ/NY area.
Thanks for all the guidance in advance.
