Send them (ALL dealerships within a 300 mile radius) an offer.
The offer is up to you... but mine was something like:
" I'm looking to buy a '12 Jeep Rubicon with these features: 4 door, Crush color, Auto transmission, cloth seats, and NON-color matched fender flares, and top. I will consider other options.
I have a tread lightly affiliate number, and expect to pay 2% under invoice, maximum.
I have a trade in. It is listed for sale locally... here is a link to current pictures, and all of the information you should require about its current condition. http:xxxxxxxxx Here is the VIN. xxxxxxxxxxxxx. I am asking $25,000 for this trade in.
Purchase is contengent on financing at the dealership at 3% interest rate or lower on a 5 or 6 year loan.
This is a bid request. Many other dealers have recieved the same request, and I WILL purchase from the dealership who can provide the best deal. I am ready to purchase today. In the event that 2 dealerships offer the same deal, I'll shop with the closer of the two.
I will not come into the dealership to discuss this with you. I'm too busy to shop that way. Please call or email me with questions / offers."

I got almost exactly the deal I was looking for.. The trick seemed to be that I made it clear that I was equally willing to buy, or not buy... I took control of the sale. rather than them guiding the dialog, and thinking they had a 'fish' on the line.... I appeared as a passer-by.. and they could either take my offer (an EASY sale.. but low profit.) or not..
Word is that the Rubicons don't hold their value as well as the other models... I think you'll be suprized what you can get... (don't pay attention to 'trade in value'... Go for 'private sale' value.)

I am looking to do something very similar. I really want to upgrade to a 12 as well...Right now my 08 Sahara has everything listed on my signature (plus a superchip)
Looking to get a 12 Rubi.. my wife thinks I am crazy and I think she would only feel comfortable with it if the payments turned out to be somewhat similar.
The things I have going for me are that my Jeep is built up, it is a Sahara, and I have only owned it for 13 months and have been on deployment for 7 of those, so it only has 33K miles on it.
The things I don't have going for me is that I still owe about $18K on it, but from KBB it is worth about 24K, so who knows?
I may copy/paste the letter you sent those dealerships...
