Trainer,
I'd start by enrolling in Tread Lightly. If you are not part of any other affiliate group, it will get you a 1% below invoice discount ant any Chrysler/Jeep dealer. Then proceed to a couple of different dealers and see what, if anything, they require to order one for you. My dealer charged me $0 to put my order in. Others have been asked for $500, others $1,000. I would stay away from any dealer asking more than $500. There is no logical reason for asking for such a large deposit. It's hard to order a "weird" Jeep, so the dealer has very little risk if you walk away. The worst that would result for them is another unit to sell.
You will not need to make your down-payment until you are taking delivery. If the money is cheap (less than 4%) finance as much as they will let you. If you prefer, buy down the note amount with a greater down-payment to get the monthly payment you like.
I can't offer much advice as to a good dealer in your area, but everyone has their own experience. The TL discount will put you on a fairly level playing field -- from there it's just who you like and feel comfortable with. Good luck.

Why cut Sahara Tan?
As usual Jeep gets rid of one of their better colors. I have this color and think its great. Very easy to keep clean, and blends into the dirt well.
Besides it a Marine color.

Agreed. Tan was my first choice, followed by Natural Green, both of which will discontinued by the time they release the 2012 in Canada.

2011 Finance Offer Theory
Am I wrong for thinking that the better deal is to get a 2012 Rubi because even though there is 0% APR and $0 down or what not for a 2011 Wrangler, the 2012 Wrangler RESALE VALE will be more valuable than 2011 offer?
