How to Lease a Jeep Laredo

To lease a Jeep Cherokee Laredo you must have good to excellent credit, a common requirement for leasing. Chrysler Financial provides leases for Jeep models. Leasing incentives and offers, which are advertised on Jeep's website, change monthly. Use Jeep's website to get an idea of pricing before stepping into a dealer. Also, you can review the different Laredo models and levels so that you can determine which Jeep works for you. After researching, you can make an appointment at a local dealer and test drive your Laredo of choice.

  • Go to Jeep's website to review models and leasing incentives. Choose "Shopping Tools" from the main menu and input your zip code. Choose the Jeep Grand Cherokee from the "Vehicles" menu to the left.

  • Review the Laredo leasing offers in your area and print out the information to show to the dealer. Note the dealer results list on the right--you can choose from a dealer in your area. If you prefer to continue learning more about the Laredo, choose "Build My Own" from the top menu--build the Grand Cherokee Laredo to review all standard and available features.

  • Call a local dealer to make an appointment to test drive the Laredo you want to lease. Arrive at your appointment on time and let your sales representative know your intentions. Hand her the leasing offer you found online and let her know your color choices or preferences.

  • Test drive the Laredo you want. If you are unsure, ask to see different colors or for an explanation in levels. Have the representative explain all options and features before driving--also ensure that your Laredo model is a 4X2 or 4X4 model, whichever you prefer.

  • Confirm that you like the Cherokee Laredo you drove. Tell the representative you'd like to proceed with your application to Chrysler Financial. Fill out the credit application, which requires your name, address, phone number, rental or mortgage payment, time at address, employment information, gross annual income, Social Security number and date of birth.

  • Wait for your approval, which should take no longer than one hour. If the dealer allows, take your Jeep Laredo the same day or make an appointment to return. Before proceeding, confirm the leasing terms, such as yearly mileage allowance, term of the lease and money down.

  • Discuss any concerns with your sales representative, such as the desire to put less money down or extend the yearly mileage. Have him run any variations on leasing provisions--you can change lease advertisement details to fit your needs.

  • Agree on numbers and term--wait while the finance manager prepares your paperwork or return, if necessary. Sign your leasing contract, which states all lease provisions, and your state's Department of Motor Vehicle (DMV) paperwork, which is handled by the dealership.
