2010 Wrangler Unlimited Sport w/ optional equip as follows:
Customer Preferred Package 24S
17" Aluminum Wheels w/ P255/75R17's
Power Convenience Group
Power Windows
Power Locks
Tint
Alarm
Cruise Control
also has
4 Speed Auto
Trac-Lok Limited Slip Rear
Freedom Top

Just wondering what these might be going for in your area.

Thanks,

 

I would offer $24,000.

 

offer whatever you want the salesman already know how much you're gonna pay. lol

 

The best money ever spent when i was looking for a jeep and my pickup and my wifes pickup was to a man in Long beach who has a site called 'fighting chance" For a fee he will provide you with all the information you will need including all recent hold backs and incentives the dealer doesn't want you to know about and then you decide. i purchased my 09Jk and 06 GMC diesel this way and got pricing that I was told "would never happen". It gives you all the sales information and wholesale information to make a logical choice. NEVER buy a vehicle by how much you can pay each month.
Guessing how much he will take is a waste. i had my 2000 Silverado pulled from a dealer lot and purchased it from another dealer who refused my offer. You need pricing guidelines to go by. Also price it out on the internet sites that are out there . A 29thou. vehicle starts out at the base price plus the options. The dealer gets a different percentage on the options then the vehicle. With holdbacks he may get it for less that base. If you know he will get 600 from the factory then there is a bargaining chip.
Fighting chance will let you know what they sold for in your area, the end of the month is THE best time to buy, don't be afraid to walk away, that vehicle is not the LAST one ever to be built and most of all be nice. negotiate, know your facts and DO not trade anything in. The best deals are bought outright. Think Im full of it? I have invoices to prove it. i LOVE buying a new car, I love car salesman, they are putty in my hands.

 

You can do the research yourself for free. Try a couple of the sites like Edmonds and the factory website along with Cars Direct to price them out and get the current rebates. I copied this from Edmonds, there are many free sources out there.

By the way, holdback is on every vehicle I have ever purchased and generally I deal at invoice less part of the holdback and rebates. On a high demand vehicle you will pay more and conversely, a pig will be cleared off the lot for what is in it. I believe in allowing a business to make a fair profit, which on an automobile, around $500 on a clean deal should do it. If you want the dealer to survive and be there for warranty work, he has to make something. Dealer cash, over and above rebates is available. If the dealer does not mention it, sites like Cars Direct has it.

 

in this area 24-24900 would be the correct number but some would not do this.would have to be a larger volume dealer.

 

Thanks for the input. Been pulling my free annual credit reports and re-uped my consumer reports membership. Built the same vehicle online at cr and according to them their recommended price bottom line start negotiating price is $27,564.

All opinions are welcome

 

You should be able to walk out the door with only paying 26500 to 27000.

 

I agree, that is fairly close to invoice less most of the hold back. They may not sell a high demand vehicle for that, or perhaps they will. Can't hurt to try.

My last purchase was not a Jeep due to issues with Crapsler but I did pay invoice, deducted 500 in dealer cash and they threw in a $350 roof rack system. Then we deducted the 5500 dollar rebate off of that.

 

Jeep currently has a zero % for 36 months available.
