What do you guys prefer? Manual or Automatic on the '12s?

Here's the sticker for UL Sport(White):

I love how both of those are optioned... 3.73's, Hard Top, uConnect... I say can't go wrong with either one. I would offer:

28,800-29,500 - white
27,700-28,250 - black

with the price on the right being the max I would pay. Also you don't happen to be a USAA member do you? they have a $1000 rebate right now that would stack on top of these prices.

Plan for a high of about $20/ $1000 borrowed, or if you can get some special financing, which you may be able to get form a local CU or Chrysler if they run any specials, maybe closer to $15.


$as close to $28k as you can get sounds pretty fair for their vehicle, then you just have to make sure they aren't screwing you on the trade.

yea 6k seems about right... so if you can get one of those for around 28.5 - 6k = 22.5 (not sure how cali does taxes in texas you only pay tax on the diff) I think you are also looking at about 9% for taxes so more than likely you will be financing around 25k

You guys seriously rock! You have given me so much information, I am deeply humbled. And have most likely saved me money!

No, I am not a USAA member.

What I did was go online and build your own, I built all versions & options looking at the final price. There is a handy trade in value and payment calculator as well. You can then search dealer inventorys and view window stickers for options and price. That will give you an idea of what you want or can afford. Like I found out, going with a 6 speed will save $1150 right off top.

Good luck.

It's a whole lot easier in every regard, off road, on road, every day traffic. Leave the stick for sports cars. Besides the 2012 Auto has a auto shift stick and you can easily up or downshift anytime you want. To buy the new jeep with standard makes absolutely no sense unless you are forced to save every single dollar. Also worse resale.

After doing a lot of calculations, I've decided that I cannot afford the Sahara. The Sport S is a more viable option for me at this time.

There's a Jeep Unlimited Sport S (Cosmo Blue) with a total sticker price of $30,450. And this dealership is actually selling the car for $28,399. (Discounts & Rebates)

I really like this car even though it doesn't have the Connectivity Group and Infinity Sound. It has aftermarket wheels and tires and looks really good.

Options Added:

- Preferred Package 24S
- 5-speed automatic
- Black hard top

What would you think a fair price would be to start with them? $23k? $25k?

Still have my GTI to trade in..

Thanks for everyones help! You have invaluable!
