Default This has to be a mistake

Internet sales guy quoted me a price on a 4 door black Sahara, 4wd, dual tops, 6 cd, Sirius, and anti spin diff for $19235. I'm thinking this has to be a mistake or it's a demo model with like 5000 miles on it.

Ya know what they say, if it seems to good to be true...

Great idea!

Well I just ran a check on the VIN#, Carfax had no reports on it.

Get that price in writing so they can't screw you on it later!

Yeah, I'm waiting for him to get back to me. If he tells me that price is correct, I'm printing it out and running down there and I'm not leaving until I own the Jeep or the boys in blue are called to escort me off the premises.

I've spent hours looking on the net, misquotes are common and half these "internet" guys don't even know they have a vehicle listed on the net.

Some other things I've found, using pictures of Rubicons with no disclaimer that they aren't selling a Rubicon, calling limited slip rears "locking rear diffs",
I've had more than one tell me a 4 door basic X is a "rare" vehicle which is why they're asking $1K over new list price for a used one with 12k miles.

You also may want to consider that it's a Lemon Law turn in.

Get the VIN & go to another dealership & see if there's any history of it being in for service. All dealerships are interlinked & it'll show if that JK has been to any Jeep dealership for service and what for.

If it were me, here's what I'd do:

1. Go immediately to that dealer and get a print out of all the options on it.
2. Get the price in a written agreement.
3. Put down a refundable deposit, say $500.
4. Go home and go out on the internet and check the option list against the "real" price. Best place I've found for this is http://www.kbb.com
5. Check CarFAX - they may have given you a bad VIN!

If all turns out to be true and that's what you want, go for it!
