I agreed on the price 3 months ago but without a VIN a dealer cannot lock in a lease. Since the residuals were so high I figured even if the special price was no longer valid a lease would still be fairly low. Jeep offered a lease special on a vehicle (base sport) that did not even exist yet. Not a big deal but the dealer could not come up with a lease that was reasonable. The $855 was based on 12% down which is normal down payment. I told them I could finance a Rubicon for that amount and to get the payment much lower. After 10 minutes they returned with $533/mo or $300/mo with $9000 down. I told them they had 30 minutes to get the lease right. They failed so I walked. Called a dealer 12 miles away and told them what happened. After I felt comfortable coming in the internet salesman and manager locked me in at invoice and removed the upcharges for all the extra junk they add like tint, wheel locks, nitrogen, grab handles, etc. I'm happy with my lease under $400/mo with $4100 down. I sold 2 guns (I'm a gun dealer) while waiting on the paperwork and lined up machine gun rentals for the staff at my private range outside Phoenix. The truck is already paying for itself. It is a business deduction I get to enjoy.

Let the good times roll......
