Jeep Financing Deals and Review

	Starting at 0% APR and up	Loan terms from 12 to 72 months

As part of Jeep’s parent company, Chrysler Capital offers financing on new, used and certified pre-owned (CPO) Jeep models. The automaker regularly advertises rebates, financing deals and lease specials. And while the best Jeep financing deals require buyers to be well qualified, you may still be able to secure a loan for your future Jeep with little to no credit.

In this article, we’ll discuss…

How Jeep financing works

Because Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) owns the Jeep brand, Jeep manufacturer financing is available through Chrysler Capital. Originally, Chrysler Capital was the in-house financing arm of the manufacturer — however, it is now part of Santander Consumer USA, a large U.S. auto lender that, by itself, specializes in subprime car loans.

There’s no stated minimum required credit score to apply for a Jeep auto loan, though the average credit score of a Jeep buyer in 2020 was 673. If you don’t know your credit score, you can check it on LendingTree.

Buying a Jeep

Through Chrysler Capital, Jeep financing rates can start at 0% APR; loan terms range from 12 to 72 months.

You can apply for a preapproval directly with Chrysler Capital, though you should make sure to get at least one other offer from a lender you trust. And don’t worry about multiple applications dinging your credit score — the three main U.S. credit bureaus allow a 14-day window of time for consumers to rate shop. As such, it won’t hurt your credit score to apply to several lenders any more than it does to apply to one as long as you do all applications within two weeks.

Leasing a Jeep

Leasing can allow you to drive a new Jeep without a huge payment. Arguably the best part of leasing is the typically low monthly payment, though there are some cons. As an example, with a 36-month (three-year) lease, you’ll pay for about half the vehicle’s value even though you use less than half the vehicle’s life span.

Here’s more on leasing versus buying.

Alternatives to Jeep financing

Alternatively, you could get an auto loan directly from your bank or credit union; Jeep dealers welcome third-party financing. We always recommend that you apply to more than one lender and that you walk into the dealership with a preapproved auto loan so you can have better negotiating power.
