I have a '16 JK hardtop (with the mopar headliners) and mine is lightyears quieter than any of the 4 JLs I have test driven as of late.
But here is a sad comparison:
Brought my JK in for service and did another test-drive (JL Sahara), rushing wind-noise (not whistle) was prevalent starting...
Im holding out for a few reasons, chief among them is the horrible wind noise that is now a known problem with a very complicated trial and error fix based on the repair documents I have seen (multiple potential failure points of seals, etc). Of the 4 JLs I have test driven, 3 of them were as...
Keep in mind some of the independent lease programs (ALLY, US Bank, etc) have a max MSRP for residual. For CCAP lease 65% residual means 65% of the actual MSRP, but the others will have a max MSRP value for calculating residual. So if you grab a sport that is fully loaded at 45k MSRP they may...
Doubtful on the MF drop, Chrysler doesn't need to subsidize this lease when the sales numbers are up 58% month to month (42% for the year) on the wrangler. If anything we will see it go up as lending rates rise.
Not a easy car to lease when you look at what 5% APR costs you in rent charges...
I saw on the edmunds car forums (best place to get lease numbers) that the RVs are indeed down 3% for all trims across the board for the month of may, by comparison the Grand Cherokee when down 1%. These are the CCAP #'s, cant speak to Ally, US Bank, etc
Obviously they go down throughout the...
I had similar issues with my JK (the misshapen door seal). Had it replaced and Ill be damn if the replacement wasn't pretty much the same (it was the front of the door seal against the A pillar (it left a gap about 5" right above the rear view mirror). Solved by getting some black rubber...
16' JKU as a daily driver, and have done some lengthy test drives on the new JL.
JL suspension is very much improved. It tracks better on the highway, doesn't wander as much and is definitely less susceptible to crosswinds blowing you around. Ride overall is definitely improved, and yes each...
One thing to keep in mind with the independent/outside lessors (ally, US Bank, etc) is they sometimes have higher residuals because they will not calculate the residual on the full MSRP with all options, only the MSRP base price of that specific trim level. I know US Bank does is this way.
So...
Joe,
Is that a Sport? My local dealer has gone Sahara crazy on their inventory orders so curious on the Sport:
1) how are the stock (non LED) headlights?
2) how are the cloth seats?
If the JL follows the JK, the springs are dependent upon the configuration (and resulting weight load on suspension), and not the trim line, ie all else being equal a similarly equipped Sahara (hard top, tow package, etc) would have the same springs as a Rubicon (or sport for that matter). The...
Lease program on Wrangler (historically) hasn't changed that much month to month like other models. The wrangler uses the Standard MF for Chrysler Capital (.00190 - .00230 depending on credit tier), and the Residual values for the wrangler rarely change month to month. So you can be fairly...
Def This! I have driven both a sport and sahara and both were at or above 44 PSI according to dashboard readout. Doesn't really have anything to do with the dealers intent, they are shipped from the factory with a high tire pressure to avoid flat spotting in transport and lot storage - every...
