I kinda have to lol.
I had a 2012 express, however when I purchased it I just really wanted to get out of my MazdaSpeed3 ( Stupid Fast Station Wagon ) into something that would be more realistic to what my daily needs / wants are. I bought it and carried over bad debt onto my 12' Express. Just for an EXPRESS my payment was 600$ a month ( YEA DUMB LOL ). So this past july a local dealer near me was pushing out 13' Ram Express models for lease. 300$ a month on a 36 month lease. I thought to myself its literally the same vehicle, why not. So I went to the dealer, and they told me due to still having some negative equity on my 12' Express that I couldnt get the 300$ a month deal. At this point I just wanted to lower my monthly payment, and at the end of the lease have zero negative equity " starting fresh ". The local dealership Boss is a Local Volunteer Firefighter, and a part time Paramedic just for fun on the side. He basically hooks up Military, and Emergency Services Personal which is really cool.
So they made me an offer, and I took it. My monthly payment is now 450$ instead of 600$ a month which is huge for me. They were also willing for let me keep my Rims ( in sig ), and keep my Custom Muffler Delete. The 13' Express had a few minor touches I liked over the 12' Express so I took it. Some may say I made a bad choice, but I am willing to deal with it, as I more then likely would have traded in my 12' Express for something a little nicer in 2015 / 2016 anyway. I advised them that I like to mod my vehicles, and was simply advised me " dont mess with the emissions, and make sure any mod is bolt on, and keep the original parts ".
My dealer advised me that even though I have a 36 month lease, the dealer wants to get the truck back after 24 months. They advised me that they can put me in a new lease, or they will give me 0% financing if I buy a new truck when I return my 13'. So that is why I am going to be holding out until 2015 lol.
Sorry for the thread jack.
