Newbie (1/14)

  1. We got a notice on this for our 2015. It was already fixed 6 months ago though when it failed. Guess we were ahead of the curve.
  2. Initial Mileage is almost 18, much better than the 2013 out of the gate
  3. One week on the highway and getting 22.5 now. Too bad it goes back in March
  4. Didn't get the power steering wheel or the cargo cover but just about everything else on it. At 100 miles, most of which were on it when we got it I don't have much to say yet. Titanium, 3.5L, AWD, 302A package, Towing (came with it, don't care about that) and 20" wheels.
  5. I will be driving it for the next 3 months to work, we will see what the highway miles for it turns out to be
  6. LOL. Well, looking at them didn't hurt. At least it would give me a wedge for competition if I had to use it. If I were to buy a Dodge it would be the Challenger Hellcat...
  7. The $500 is on my lease contract if I purchase the car at the end of the lease. Don't know if that is new or a US thing
  8. One thing with a lease if you are not going to buy the car at the end (there is a $500 fee to do so) is you want to put as little down as possible, $0 drive off is best. Why? At that point you are renting a car for a monthly payment. At the end of the lease turn it back in and you are done. If you are buying it at the end figure you have already paid over $400 acquisition fee and now another $500 to buy it so about $1000 extra that you would not have if you purchased it at the beginning. Also remember the money factor is not the same as an interest rate. These links can help http://www.leaseguide.com/glossary/money-factor/ http://www.leaseguide.com/lease08/
  9. Started my search with Truecar and looked at the Edge, Grand Cherokee, Cadillac SRX, Pathfinder, Highlander and Acadia. For the money the Edge comes out on top for a combination of features and price. Ford has a $1500 lease cash that we were able to apply to the price so it worked out pretty well. As far as the true car experience I think i could have gotten the same deal going through fleet or internet sales but this actually gives us an idea of each dealers pricing from their fleet department. I was a little turned off at Cadillac because after I made an appointment the internet sales person was not in and they turned us over to one of the normal sales guys. This made me really not want to buy as the normal high pressure was on at that time. We will be picking the car up tomorrow. It has the 302A package so lots of nice features. Things we didn't have on the Limited are the 360 camera and park assist along with the 3.5L engine. Being used to big V8's this will be nice considering the Limited has the smaller engine.
  10. After 33 months and 30K miles we are around 18MPG but there is only 3 months left on the lease before it goes back. We have looked at all competing models from Cadillac, Toyota, Jeep, Nissan, and a few others and the Edge came out on top again for options and value for the price. For the first time we used truecar and the pricing was really good with it but the number of calls and emails was ridiculous. Within minutes of submitting my interest my phone started ringing. Most of the dealers didn't even have the model with the features we wanted so that was a little disappointing. We will be picking up the 2015 AWD/3.5L Titanium tomorrow on a new 3 year lease. It was a little less expensive than the 2013 Limited and it has more features. I won't be expecting too much in the way of mileage though. Thanks for all the comments over the last 3 years on this car.
  11. After 30 months and 28K miles we are up to 17.8mpg. Our lease is up in 6 months so that looks like it is about over for this one. It looks like we will replace it with another one.
  12. We are a little over year and are just below 16 mpg right now. Still disappointing.
  13. My concern is it is coming in far below the sticker indicator. Nothing special to our driving.
  14. we are stuck at 15.5 at 4000 miles. mostly short runs in the city.
