Does anyone have the current residuals and money factor on Jeeps Rubicon unlimiteds or the Willys Unlimiteds. Been looking at one for a family member who will only be in the country for another 34 months or so.
I keep seeing like 74% / 36 months / 7% money factor but they are older numbers. It will be a one pay to avoid the money factor. I can get invoice minus 5-7% on just about any Jeep right now so lease is going to be seriously cheap I think,.
You might find something in the forum section of www.leasehackr.com, a forum that specializes in this sort of question.

Given the high resale value of Wrangler, it should be cheap to lease, but the leases listed on the Jeep site seem awfully high.
If you're just looking for a cheap lease on anything, Corollas lease for dirt money, again because of high residuals.
The best lease right now is a VW Tiguan. Base S can be done for under $200 with nothing out of pocket. That's on a 3 year, 15k a year lease and Maryland makes you pay the 6% tax on the entire sales price. It is $196 a month rolling that $1200 and the $400 registration into it. The Wolfsburg edition has $4k lease cash on it if you feel the need to step up.
Money factor on the VW is .00001!
As far as Wranglers go, the residual on a 4dr is 76% (or was last month). 2 dr drops it 10%.
Magic lease on a Wrangler is a 4 dr sport. MSRP is @$32k vs Rubicon over $40k

That is what it seems to be to me. Needs to be a wranger or something that can handle dirt and sand on a pretty regular basis.
Have a call out to a local dealer that has a unlimited sport with just the basic power locks and yeah should be like 200$ a month with limited money down but they only want to do the factory deal which is way to high IMO.
Honestly I will be driving this thing a little as well and the wife likes them as well. She like the ride on the Rubicon better an
Weird about the two door, I figured used Jeeps are actuary used more off road and the smaller two door would be in higher demand.
I just helped someone do this exact excercise. The goal was cheap toy and to see if a Jeep was something he could live with. Ended up with 4dr sport with the power package, Bluetooth, and Automatic. Bought a set of Rubicon take off wheels (brand new) for $600 and put them on right away. The stock wheels will go back on the Jeep when it goes back.
He now has a good looking, very inexpensive, fun car.
Looks like we have a Freedom Edition in Gobi located with the three piece hard top and the automatic located. If the numbers make sense then it will be a done deal.
Also my Wife LOVES the wrangler. Easy to see out of and high up enough that she can see out easily. Have a feeling I will be getting another one next month for her.

My wife loves her Wrangler as well. She could drive just about anything within reason and chooses a Wrangler. We'll be ordering a new one for her later this year when the JL is released.
Done deal.
Also E36 M3 now I want a old jeep to screw around with. There are two WWII restored ones at the local gun auction for like 8k starting bid. They have been selling around 10k for a runner at the last couple that have been put up.
