about a half hour outside of Toronto. Still in the GTA. I think the LS400 is an import. I like older cars.

I went and looked at one in person (didn't drive it) but I can't wrap my head around the price tag. I could get a new Tahoe or Yukon optioned how I want it for roughly the same price. And I would personally much prefer the Yukon/Tahoe.

The key is you don’t pay the price tag lol. It’s $10,000 less than the price tag while a Tahoe or Yukon is going to be much closer to MSRP. The Tahoe is also bigger and truckier which for my use case isn’t a positive.

The lease rates on that Jeep are incredible, the MF is only 1.5% and with the rebates the payment on a $74,000 Jeep is like $720 a month. That’s the thing about Chryslers, in the grand American car tradition the MSRP means nothing. Without the discounts and rebates they aren’t compelling for the money but when you factor it in, monthly that Jeep is much cheaper to lease than a $20,000 cheaper Palisade or Telluride.

Ah, interesting. Good info. I've never leased so I don't even think to look into that.

This is a 2021 model road test, but impressive.

On this tank I saved $6.50 without the 20c off. So with the 20c off I would have saved about $10. $10 a week aint bad.

Here's the transaction in the app:
