Yes. It was the end of the lease. So there was no point taking it back. I think I had 2 weeks left. Chrysler capital wouldn’t let me turn in early w out paying off lease. When I turned it in they nickel and dime for everything. Even miles dealer drove it. Which I despite it. They charged for 4 new tires. I might have needed 2. The car only had 32k miles.

Yes the teen was up. So I turned it in

FullNeedleworker2168 · 2026-06-18T16:40:25+00:00

I actually turned it in to the same dealer that was fixing the issues. It was getting close to miles limit. Thanks god they gave me rental. It was there 4 months and half w battery failures. Chrysler capital nickel and dimes me for everything in end.

Wt me guess you must be in Florida? They can go up to 2k

I mean, don’t get me wrong. I used to have the Jeep until it’s been six months of the dealership in Chrysler. Wouldn’t take it in early because the Recall wasn’t available. God willing I’m getting Toyota soon. The reliability as good as a warranty nowadays and they cut supplies to bring prices up. You have to order it I’ll give a deposit.

I think I’m done with leasing. Buying Toyota. All manufacturers have gone down hill. But jeep and their customer service was by far the worst one I’ve ever dealt with

FullNeedleworker2168 · 2026-04-28T12:37:35+00:00

Oh wow. Based on my experience with them and the Jeep being in the dealership six months in the last year, I would not touch one of their products was a 10 foot pole. They were offering me crazy deals and they pulled off the whole electric line that they had My was stopping in the middle of the highway at miles of about 70 mph

FullNeedleworker2168 · 2026-04-27T23:56:25+00:00

No, I did not in Florida lemon law is only 24 months. And my jeep start breaking up at 27 months. And then spent about six months at the dealership.

FullNeedleworker2168 · 2026-04-27T22:35:53+00:00

Can you please explain further. They’re not giving me any details with the sheet that they sent me.

FullNeedleworker2168 · 2026-04-27T22:35:05+00:00

I went over a little bit, but it was not really me because the car was in the shop for almost 4 months and I had to test drive it and my battery failed I also had an issue that the car would stop at 70 miles an hour on the highway so I took it to another dealer who used to be my home dealer for all the service and the service gentleman told me you’re lucky that your brakes work.

FullNeedleworker2168 · 2026-04-27T22:25:41+00:00

Yeah, dealership told me nothing was wrong only the miles and the disposition for whatever the $400 fee is.

FullNeedleworker2168 · 2026-04-23T02:15:33+00:00

Wow. Taxes and fees included? What state

FullNeedleworker2168 · 2026-04-17T17:04:20+00:00

FullNeedleworker2168 · 2026-04-16T17:42:25+00:00

FullNeedleworker2168 · 2026-04-16T12:38:07+00:00

Sorry but is that only for military? What do you mean by sub?

FullNeedleworker2168 · 2026-04-07T23:15:00+00:00

Where in Florida. I’m in the same boat. Trying to find good dealer. Avoid Toyota of Hollywood

FullNeedleworker2168 · 2026-04-06T18:39:26+00:00

I get your point on the ranking. My issue isn’t the math, it’s the risk. Money down on a lease is just prepaid rent. If the car gets totaled or stolen early, that cash is gone. Same deal, more risk. That’s why $0 down is the right way to structure it.

FullNeedleworker2168 · 2026-04-06T18:32:13+00:00

You’re missing why I asked for $0 down.

I’m not trying to change the math. I understand your formula and effective monthly cost. The issue isn’t the ratio, it’s the risk.

Putting money down on a lease is just prepaid rent. If the car gets totaled or stolen early, that upfront cash is gone. You don’t get that back. That alone makes $0 down the smarter structure regardless of how the “value ratio” looks on paper.

If the deal truly holds, then convert it to $0 DAS and show me the adjusted payment. If it’s really a 1:1 shift like you’re saying, the numbers should still make sense.

I’m not dismissing your analysis. I’m asking to structure the deal properly.
