Lease Up in 9Mo

[fmichelson]

Had a lease on 2019 Bighorn hemi, moved to 2021 Bighorn hemi, that lease will extend in Sept '24 with about 23K miles, I expect dealer will call early in about 3mo to try moving me into a 2024 but worried monthly lease cost will increase from current $475/mo, haven't been taking advantage of 8-cyl so thinking about down grading to 6-cyl still with 4wh and 6'-4" bed so can get lease cost down to around $375-400...any advice from the "experts" would be greatly appreciated before the "beat-up" by salesman at dealership, thank you

Read a great "go-by" on forum about leasing, 1st stop was Kelly which has vehicle valued at $28K trade-in, I see on carfax the vehicle (quad cab) is selling between $30-35K, next will contact Chrysler for pay-off value in Sept, tried calling salesman for early check on available used 6-cylinders but of course no return, I get-it leasing is an old and tired subject for the forum whom really want to get into the technical weeds on parts and repairs but any advice would be greatly appreciated (except why I did lease in 1st place...LOL)

Pentastar vs Hemi, which should you choose?

When I was in the market for a 4th Gen Ram 1500 Classic, I was pretty torn about whether to go with the Pentastar V6, or the Hemi. It can be difficult to make the right decision with just a short test drive from the dealer. Now that I’ve owned both, I wanted to give a detailed account of the...
