$400/month, 60 month loan (@ 5.2%). Just a little over 3 years left. Definitely sucks buying in a sellers market, but I worked hard for the best deal possible on what I wanted. I had to go through a few dealers who basically wouldn't budge off of sticker price before finding a motivated seller. If I were in the market now I could be getting into a Rubicon for a little more/month that I am paying now. I even looked at a Rubi a month ago and was tempted with all of the incentives, but wasn't interested in starting over on a loan for something that really wasn't a necessary upgrade.

Several things were factored into the price i am paying...
When i bought mine in Feb 08, The market was tight on the Rubicons, And NOBODY had them on their lots. This forced a supply/demand in my area as only one dealer had them... Damn near MSRP ---34k
Traded in a KJ and got hosed on it... 3k upside down
No money down
Max Care lifetime warranty- What a joke. I didn't even get a reach around... 2k
No special financing was available on the Wranglers, So 8.9% for 72 months
Payment of $709/mo for 72 months... Yep, I am getting hosed bad, But that was the price i chose to pay because i wanted it NOW.
IMO, even though i am paying an absurd amount for mine, It's worth every last penny to me.

Ouch!
Bottom line is if you're happy, then it is worth it.

I haven't picked mine up yet or even started the payments, but it will be $344.54 for my 2 Dr. Rubi with Power options, premium sound, and tinted windows options, and 6 Speed. It is definately alot but is well worth the extra money for the Rubi. I should be getting back to the states within the first couple days of May and picking it up.

They gave me a fair $1000 trade in for my old beater Isuzu Rodeo, and my payments are $354 a month for 48 months.
That was a bone stock X with A/C and the Infinity system

I had an 04 F150 FX4 that I owed 10,500 on. They gave me 18,500 for it towards the 34,967.
I refinanced it from the 6.99% to a 4.99% about 6 months ago and pay 511 for the next 4 years. I owe 22,000 still for it. The interest has made it tough to bring the principle down with excellent credit too. I should have refinanced long ago, or shopped around for my own financing. I wanted the Jeep though and my last 4 vehicles have averaged around 465-500 monthly. Now I'm realizing I hate payments but want a new truck too. I wish I made enough to cover 2 payments, mortgage etc.
