I kind of prefer the GMC right now as I'm just getting out of four years with an F-150 and it would be nice to have something different, but I'll take any of those three brands that will give me the most bells and whistles for the money. I know Chryslers suck balls, but I think they can last four years so on a lease it doesn't matter. Resale is irrelevant and the warranty will cover any problems the entire time I'm driving it.
Is that a reasonable way to negotiate given I'm not loyal to any one brand?

My experience with the past two vehicles I have purchased is that dealerships are not at all interested in negotiating or even talking to you via email, they want you to come in person. I've sent the same emails and probably 75% of them did not even bother to respond. The others took their sweet time getting back to me and most of the time tried to get me to come down in person to talk. Zero times did they actually give me a price on a vehicle I was interested in even if I asked them about one in particular. Hope you have better luck with it than I did.
