My favorite colors are Silver and Gray but the Billet Silver for the 2014 Durango, I didn't care for it at all and it looked dull to me. Now my only option is to look for some Gray ones.

 

Went to another dealership to see if they had any R/T or demo and no luck. They have 2 limited for sale and one SXT with leather seats and 22" wheels added to it.


They were saying Durango sales were down so they don't order much and the Jeep Grand Cherokee go like hot cakes.

 

I've been watching inventory around here (Nashville) in a 300 mile radius and there aren't a lot of 2014 R/T's in stock. Last August I was able to find more 2013's available and even one with exactly the options I wanted. Hope sales get strong!

 

Yes, lets hope sales go up and it doesn't look good if the dealer tells me that they don't sell much.

 

They are selling. The reason there are none on dealers lots is the factory is still filling orders before building dealer stock vehicles.

oh! ok...thanks for that info.

 

Unless things get really slow and Dodge decides to drop prices or have better offers, then maybe strike a deal.

 

Is it good idea to go leasing first (save money on payments) and then if I like the vehicle, probably buy it at the end of 3 year?

 

just depends on how many miles you drive per year

 

Keep in mind that the reason a lease is cheaper as far as monthly payments are concerned is because you are putting money down and essentially covering the cost of the depreciation on the vehicle for the dealership by doing so. If you put 15% as a downpayment, you're basically telling the dealership that you'll take that depreciation hit yourself and on your dime so that when they get the vehicle back after 3 years, they make off like bandits.

And yes, while putting no money down still results in a lower payment then buying, it's generally only about $100 or so lower and you're limited to how many miles you can drive (and penalized severely for going over). So you gotta ask yourself, is it worth it to be at the mercy of mileage to save $100/month? And forget about mods or anything if you lease as well. You don't own the car.

Personally, I wouldn't lease anything unless I didn't have to put anything down and they gave me a very generous mileage allowance. I'd rather own the car. If you do the math, leasing almost always results in you paying more over time when all the numbers are added up. And I believe it's especially true if you buy the car out at the end. Oftentimes, they'll get you three times in that respect. Once when you give them your downpayment for the lease, the 2nd time when you make your payments, and at the end when you pay an inflated buy out amount.
