Why doesn't Jeep lease?

I'm not going to get the Tesla this year afterall, but still need a car so figured I'd lease a Jeep for fun for 2-4 years and then get a Tesla.

Those bastards don't lease! WHY?!
 
People could RUIN those and return them at the end of the lease...with little mileage..but god knows how many hills and valleys they've been through?..

Albeit it could be done with any vehicle but more likely on a Jeep? lol
 
Jeeps hold the value very well, why not buy one and then sell it?

I just bought one yesterday, they are cheap :)
 
I'm in the process of purchasing a Chrysler/Fiat vehicle myself, and leasing was not an option. They offer some extremely long financing terms instead to get the monthly payments down to a comparable range. I wasn't planning on leasing anyhow, so it's no bother to me.

All of the "detroit 3" got burned by offering overly-optimistic leasing terms prior to the recession/depression and then ended up stuck with a lot of lease-return huge body-on-frame gas guzzler SUVs that no one wanted at the time.
 
Just get a Hyundai, bro
 
Chrysler/Jeep still worries me. General overall piss poor engineering, fit and finish and quality issues abound. Insane pricing for parts for an "economy" car (see spark plug debacle in link). Powertrain still not well designed and annoying, and it appears nobody on the staff enjoys driving the cheeky Dodge Dart Rallye.

Plugging along, expensively.

GM leases but, the residual value at the end and the interest rates aren't too attractive. The cost of borrowing is so cheap right now and you can get fairly decent terms, purchase just might be the way to go.

As for Jeep and other products, well........that is the question isn't it.

Yep, exactly why I want the lease. The car is supposed to be for fun.

So lease it through a leasing broker not Chrysler.

The cost usually isn't worth it.

Exactly, why I want the jeep for 2-4 years. It's a toy not a long time keeper.

Not interested in purchasing. If it was a Tesla maybe then, but right now I just want a low payment lease.

I have 1 car I'm leasing bmw ($510/mo), Hyundai elantra financing ($347/mo), plus I pay about $650 in insurance every month for two drivers. I need to get my mom a car so I was going to give her my Elantra and get low payment Jeep wrangler as a fun toy. Insurance for cars won't go up since my insurance is suppose to come down so it'll ofset the other car. I plan on riding this year so that's another $200/mo insurance. I don't want to go over 2k on total monthly payments. Although I do get 85% of the taxes I pay back...
 
You need to reformat your question, you wanted to know why you cant lease a jeep, well you can. What your now saying is why cant I lease one cheap? well because the manufacturers figured out cheap leasing= lots full of expensive toys that have dropped in value. Independent leasers aren't giving product away, they know its a toy and when it comes back they need to give it a new home. The new answer is find somebody like "REDS" in Burlington that leases 1-2-3 year old cars and trucks and get a cheaper lease. My office guys do 1.5 , 2 yr leases on stuff like MB 350's and A5's for much less than an OEM lease.
 
Check out Gold Card Leasing. Have a few company vehicles through them and no issues. Haven't done a personal lease with them and not exactly sure if they do or not. Can't find the business card or I'd PM you some contact info. Google them and you can find out more info. They are in Toronto.

That's good info. I always assumed that private leases were ridiculously high.
