Default '12 Rubi Shopping

I sent out all these emails requesting what I want and if they can give me a deal. I had one say they can sell me a 12 Rubi for the FFP but they can't use the TL discount and that the FFP will not apply for the options. Is this a good deal?

I don't think you can combine them.

My understanding is that TL, Affiliate, and Friends/Family (FFP) are each 1% below invoice and denoted as the FFP price.

Default 2012 is Almost a foot longer

I am updating this post so no one reads it and gets more confused. Thanks dbrugby for setting it straight.

dbrugby "Comparing the 2011 Fleet Buyers Guide with the 2012 Fleet Buyers Guide (apples to apples), all dimensions were exactly the same."

2011 Unlimited:
Wheelbase 116"
Overall Length 173.4"
2012 Unlimited:
Wheelbase 116"
Overall Length 184.8"
Wow... Nice find. I'll be interested to see where the length is added, and what it will affect. The top seems like a given. The doors? Now I kinda wish I had ordered the dual tops instead of just the hard top.

A kid? Racing in a JK? I would say yes seeing how if someone was to have a 12 they would have posted pics. Atleast I would hope so.

Yup... I think the online dimensions are for the 2010... though the length dimension is odd... Unless Jeep didn't count the rear wheel for the 2010?

so then why is the TL discount like $130 off and the FFP price like $3000 off?

I don't have a 2011 so I was comparing to the Jeep Buyers Guide. Was the height wrong too?
