Summer is just around the corner, and for some folks, that means it's convertible season. Jeep's versatile Wrangler—it's equally at home on the Rubicon Trail and the streets of West Hollywood—has always been a fabulous open-roofed option. Now it turns out Wrangler is a great lease to boot, thanks to ridiculously good residual values on Unlimited Sport and Freedom models. 

Lease Program - Valid Through May 31, 2016

The cost of leasing a particular car is determined by its lease program, which is set by the manufacturer, and the selling price, which is set by the dealer. Here is Chrysler Capital's current lease program for 2016 Wrangler Unlimited assuming top tier credit:

36 months, 10,000 miles/year
Trim	Sport/Freedom	Sahara/Backcountry	Rubicon/Hard Rock
Residual Value	74%	65%	64%
Money Factor	.00183	.00183	.00183

As for incentives, Chrysler is offering $500 in Military Cash Allowance. No lease cash or other offers available; Wrangler is popular as-is and doesn't need any help.
