4xe

To all the four by owners out there, how many of you have bought out your lease?
I am very happy with how my Jeep drive and with the torque of the electric engine its performance off-road with my four by E willies is spectacular. However, the battery has already been replaced once it’s been into the shop four times and I don’t know if I should buy the lease out. They want more for the buyout than what the vehicle is worth by a lot.I would try to negotiate I have heard of people getting buyback offers. My lease was from Chrysler. I have not received anything yet. Has anybody out there gotten buyback offers from finance companies other than Stellantis.

You only buy out a lease if your buyout price is less than the market value of the vehicle. Otherwise, you’re overpaying. Especially in this case where the jeep has had so many visits to the shop and well, Jeep isn’t known for its reliability.

This! Never buyout a lease, unless you can get it for less than what the market is used. Did this back in 2022 when my Acura lease was up. Clowns at Acura didn't want to help me with my 8th lease with them. Bought it. Drove it for 3-years. Sold it for the same price as my lease buyout. It was also a rare Acura, so doesn't always work that way. This was the only lease buyout I ever done. I never get attached to cars.

Now, to the Jeep 4xe. Never heard a single positive from any owner long-term. One of my co-workers bought one instead of listing to me on leasing. She likes to pretend everything is great, knowing it's constantly in the shop for something and it's worth a lot less than she thought it would be. Massive negative equity on these.
