I get what your saying. I just got confused when ya mentioned the lease payments going towards your truck. All weāre doing is paying for the depreciation of the vehicle. You could also look at the residual on your vehicle and compare that to other similar used jtrās on the market. Value may be actually worse in 42 months and youād get a better deal with another dealer. I know thereās something to be said for keeping your own jtr, since you know itās history.It's not putting money down... When you lease, you have residual. My lease over the next 42 months will net me paying $22K towards the negotiated price of my JTR. So, when my lease is up, I will only owe about $28K on my JTR with low miles that I've had since brand new. So I will be well over $15K in the positive with used market value of the JTR, and will be WELL into the black. So, that $22K I paid for my lease all went towards the price of the Jeep. So when my lease is up, and I buy it out with a loan, I will only owe $28K or so. I will be so far ahead, that I can afford to do the 6.4 SRT Hemi swap and all that, and not ever be upside-down in the Jeep. Because the Hemi-swapped Jeeps bring in the big bucks (if I ever decided to sell it), and instead of buying a new factory-offered Hemi JTR for (I'm guessing it would cost about $75,000-80,000 for one brand new from the factory), I'll only be paying a payment for $28K loan, and still have my 6.4 SRT Hemi swapped JTR.
Make sense now?
