Dealer said that buying a 2007 off the lot would have meant having to pay MSRP. She suggested that ordering would be a better deal. She offered $750 over dealers invoice.
We ended up agreeing on $500 over invoice. All options were at dealers invoice also. They said 13-14 weeks before the jeep would arrive. We can't wait!
The dealer doesn't care, he'll take whatever allocation he can get. He's not worried that a few hundred dollar increase will kill sales.
The customer doesn't care, as he can always walk away if he thinks the price is too high when the vehicle arrives. As most of these deals are $X over invoice, or below MSRP, he has an indication of whether he's getting a good deal or not.
I know it might be irritating to you, but the figures will be available soon enough.
Have any gut "guesstimates" on this issue?
I just ordered our '08 at $500 over invoice. The dealer assured me that the pricing would not change from '07. I am still not sure that I believe her. We are expecting it to arrive in late September/early October.
I've no idea what the price change will be, but if you want a 2 door and the MSRP/invoice goes up a few hundred bucks will it stop you buying one?
Make the best deal you can and enjoy the vehicle........the '09s won't be any cheaper.
Will let you know what happens when it comes in.....What model did you order???.........
We are really looking forward to getting it in. We were told 13-14 weeks from when we ordered it last week. But, hopefully it will arrive sooner.
Vehicle has to be returned to an approved dealer for an inspection every five years within sixty days of the warranty starting date.
Of course it remains to be seen how long Chrysler will be around to service the warranty, and what happens if Chrysler sells off Jeep is anybodys guess.
My very same thoughts.
And... to take that a step further, you did not give "these people" $30,000 of your money. If you were slightly more intelligent, you would realize that you gave "Chrysler" $30,000 of your money, not the dealer. The dealer finances the car from Chrysler, then pays back that "loan" when you asume your "loan".
Posters on here need to wise up a bit. Your not going to get any special treatment from any dealer, salesperson, or manufacuter. Your one small fish in an ocean of an enterprise. Your really should thank them for having the vehcile YOU wanted, in the color YOU were happy with and arranged finance terms YOU could afford.
Wise up kids!
Thank the dealer for letting you spend your $30K.. That's rich.. :surprise:

It's hard to really argue with the content of that post, though the packaging could have been a bit nicer.
You're buying a product built on a production line, one of many thousands. The salesman makes a very small percentage of that $30K, likewise the dealership.
The big money comes from secondhand sales, and the service and repair work that comes from having a manufacturers name on the front of the dealership.
Expect a better service when you spend $30K on a high profit item though, like jewelery or furniture. They'd better be nice to you because at least $15k will be markup! It won't break the car dealer's heart if you walk on the deal, but you might see real tears from the jeweler if you take your business elsewhere.
I mostly take offense on the tone concerning my intelligence. Being a physician and teacher with a tiny bit of education I would have a question with what I said and what it had to do with my intelligence. Especially when the questioner cannot spell "vehicle".

AT THE PRESENT TIME JEEP HAS STOPPED SPECIAL ORDERS FOR 2007 AND ORDERS FOR 2008 WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED UNTIL LATE SEPTEMBER EARLY NOVEMBER.
For some reason I have problems accessing the forums, nothing else...It took me a week trying on several ocassions to get in...Anyone else have this problem???...
I live in NY, many dealers have 08's in(go down & check out your local dealer)....I would not know how to post a pic....I guess it would help if I had a digital camera :-)

The dealer changed the front weather stripping in front of the roof panels(just washed the car & had the hose on the roof, no leaks, we'll see what happens).........The dealer just called me & told me that the weather stripping for the 2 front doors & for the middle of the roof panels just came in......I made an appt. for 2 weeks, this gives me time to see if the leaks have ceased.........
Enjoy the wait!!!!
Financed it through my credit union at 4.49% so they didn't have much motivation to drop the price any more.
Love the Jeep, tho!
