Dealer found a JEEP....BUT
Today our Dealer phoned us and found a 08 Jeep Sahara Unlimited 4 door with dual tops, 6spd manual, rescue green, tow package and limited slip with Sirrius.
However, the Jeep is located at another Jeep dealership outside our province. It has everything we want and more (6 disc stereo)
My issue....It's gonna cost me an extra $750.00 with Taxes (GST & PST) on the final bill if I get this JEEP. The $750.00 extra is to have our dealership ship by transport truck a similar Jeep Wrangler they have on the lot to the Dealership in Alberta for trade and then transport our Jeep back. I figure, I can eat this cost to get our jeep sooner plus I know the Jeep will not be driven by another person to the dealership in our province. I tried to get the dealership to just eat the cost if they want our business. However, they strongly declined.
Dealer would not tell me which Jeep dealership the Jeep was at as I thought about phoning them up and seeing what they could do for us with our Dodge Magnum R/T AWD for trade-in if he would be the same. However, getting an out of province vehicle I would have to spend $150.00 for an inspection when I bring it back to the province.
Should I just eat the cost and get the Jeep we want or just wait for our order which we just placed October 31, 2007?

Is it for the same price (except the $750) as the one you ordered? If so, look at the other options such as the 6 disc and consider that as part of the 750. If you are paying a different price, then it might not be worth... but hard to tell. I couldn't wait for mine and got mine the week they were released, so I'm not the one to say hold off.... I paid dearly cause they were BRAND NEW.

The problem with this deal is the Dealership outside the province wants another Jeep Wrangler (similar) in trade from my local dealership.
This is where the extra costs is coming into play.
The dealer would not charge me a dime to pick the Wrangler up (driving it back). However, He is charging me $750.00 to transport a Jeep Wrangler from my local dealership by truck as the out of province dealer want's ZERO miles/km's on the Jeep. Then the truck/trailer will be picking up my Jeep in the other province and trucking my jeep from the other dealership therefore I will have ZERO miles on my Jeep when I pick it up.
Also, issue is trade-in of my Dodge Magnum comes into play with the deal.
I am an impatient guy at times....and I am thinking I will just eat the damn costs!

That is my thinking get a radio upgrade....plus I don't get some yahoo driving the snot out of my new jeep over 700km's one way and possibly getting a few rock chips (snow already in the area). Plus, he may add in Husky floor mats into the deal as I talked to him 5 minutes ago....I told him he needs to eat some of the transport costs or add some accessories! We shall see....he is still negotiating with the other dealership.

I say: "Pay the $750."
If you add your costs to get it yourself:
Bus fare to Calgary or Edmonton $120
(or costs to drive your own vehicle there (and back?))
'In-transit' plate $???
Inspection in BC $150
Motel? $85
Meals $50 - $100
Tank and a half of gas $100
At least one day's wages $???
So your costs could about $600, so you are in effect paying the dealer $150 for the privilege of getting the vehicle you want.
