...an Unlimited X. How close are dealers sticking to MSRP? What with the end of the model year and the economy being what it is (at least in people's minds) I'm kind of curious how motivated the dealers are to, well, deal. I'm in Western Oregon, if that matters. Any opinions?

 

Up here in Canada, I've been quoted dealer cost then deduct an additional $1750 in a no charge options deal from Chrysler.

 

Mine was built on 9 Th April, and should arrive any day now. I was looking at offering $2000 below invoice (window sticker) and life time free oil change and grease jobs.

 

I would wait for the 09s.

 

Welcome to the forum,

You just have to negotiate, other than in places like SoCal that seem be crazy, I think it is easy to get a good price, at or below invoice. I know dealers in the STL area have alot of Xs to sale.

Check the Jeep.com site since they ofer different incentives based on your locale. Just be firm and they will see it your way.

 

I would be looking at Invoice pricing and not MSRP. They want to sell you a Jeep and even at Invoice they will still make their money.

Go to Edmunds.com or JKtools.com and see what the invoice is, compared to MSRP, and come in ready to deal.

Don't be afraid to walk out if they don't want to make you the deal you want. There are plenty of dealers out there and, if it comes down to it, you can order your Jeep from any Jeep dealer that is willing to give you your price.

Have fun, remember it's just a big game.

 

I got dealer invoice on my Sahara Unlimited. If you do your research first, you'll know what dealer invoice and MSRP(sticker) is for each option.

 

That is another good point MarcusRTJ. Getting dealers to compete for your business will get you a better price.

 

I'm planning to get an unlimited X next week. just waiting for payday

Anyway, I was looking into ordering a Sahara online a little while ago, and their no hassle/haggle price was $500 below invoice.. but I had to pay to have it delivered, I had to order it from the factory because in their state the emissions where different, and that meant a 6-8 week wait. Plus, I couldn't trade in my current car which meant I had to sell it myself, and wouldn't have that money as a downpayment because I'd need to keep it till the Jeep arrived so I could get to work.

So, I'm just gonna print out the quote and go to the dealer I was originally going to work with and say "gimmie a deal kinda like this and I'll buy it. Don't go back and forth to your boss 10 times with different prices, just gimme your end all be all best price now."

There's a few online dealers that sell for low prices, I dunno if we're allowed to post links so if you want URLs just PM me. they're great for research and stuff, or maybe you'll end up wanting to just buy right from them and skip your local guy

 

I got my 08 4 door X for 16K brand new with tow package 3.73!



..........after down payment that is

It should be easy to get a deal! And then you'll be hooked like the rest of us!
