Looking foward to your responses.
Any info/suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated. As my name suggests, I'm in Texas, if that makes any difference.
Thanks!

The auto business is so slow now that by February or March of 2008, I'm guessing dealers will be starving and will offer very nice deals especially on SUVs that get less-than-great gas mileage. Let's face it by next spring the price of gas will only be higher than it is now which will only cut further into dealer sales. That's when I plan to buy mine.
I feel that I stand a better chance of getting the exact vehicle I want here in the country's car capitol of So California than I could find in northern New England where I plan to relocate to. But I don't want to have to pay sales taxes and registration here in Cali just to get hit again with additional registration fees in New England when I relocate.
Any thoughts as to whether I can special order my new Liberty from the dealer in the New England town where I plan to relocate? I haven't contacted them yet to see if they'll even agree to this, but presuming that they will, what kind of deposit should I give them considering we're over 3000 miles apart.
limited version with leather and g package(select tranc and ....)
21333+tax and fee
don't know whether it is a good deal or not.
But sounds yours price pretty fair.
You sound like you got a great deal too for the Limited with the G Package. How much was the MSRP?
I was nervous at driving manual (hadn't in about 15 years), but I slipped right back into it (like riding a bike) and I love it. How do you like your Jeep?
love the 4X4 full time.
Paid $300 over invoice ($29,735 before T&L) and chose the $2.99 gas instead of the rebate. Also got the maintenance plan for $1,400.00, which includes rental.
Purchased from David Ellis Jeep in Canoga Park, CA from James. Very, very cool guy. No pressure at all.
Issues so far:
*They forgot to charge the A/C system. Found this out on a 117-degree San Fernando Valley day. They fixed it right away.
*They forgot to install the little antenna. Had to go back to pick it up.
*MyGig has frozen a couple of times. Resetting has done the trick.
*Wind noise evident at 75MPH+ while Sky-Slider roof is closed.
*Only achieving about 15MPG, even with a lot of highway driving (without stop and go).
I would think that you have a reasonable chance of getting this payment, but it also depends on your cap reduction, etc. BTW, money factor is just a fancy derivative of a lease's APR, it's not affected by residuals, but by market forces and your credit.
You don't know the deals they can work or the true lowest money factors involved with currency exchange rates so the lowest is the lowest you can work over the phone within 200 mi. Keep your 350/mo mental target to yourself for awhile. A 31000 jeep limited should sell for about 23000 or less. I've seen some advertised deals well under $300 on leases on cars in this range.

am looking to email dealers in early August to hopefully pick up a 2008 Jeep Liberty Limited 4WD in early-mid Sept. Is it too early now to tell what a residual will be on this vehicle in another month? Or does it stay constant for a while. Also, same thing with the money factor? I am just looking to get an idea if I can keep my payments around $350/mo on a 12k mi per year limited with standard sunroof (not sky slider), and option package 1?? I'd like to go into the dealers knowing my numbers and hoping for the best, Thanks
If you can, find out if your credit union has a purchasing service. Often you can save a lot of headaches. If you don't belong to a CU, a good resource is www.advocar.com, which works just the same way, or even carsdirect.com. I worked for both companies (they are national) and can tell you from the back end that it isn't even remotely close to their goal to screw you, especially Advocar (which is also known as Autoland).
Good luck!
If you look up a Jeep limited 07 like the one you want used on kbb.com you will probably find a msrp 31000 model probably barely has a trade-in for 17000. This will be what your new 08 will be worth in 12 months. This is probably a optimistic number as the market is miserable for these SUV's. I wouldn't buy one for less than 10000 off msrp so we're looking for a killer lease here.
Good luck

Great – thanks for your answers. If my lease on my ’06 Pontiac G6 coupe is up Sept 14 when do you suggest I contact dealers? I will be considering 2 SUV’s the obvious 2008 Jeep Liberty Limited and the 2008 Toyota Highlander (base model) so I want to be sure to leave enough time to shoot out emails, meet with the top 3 from each Jeep and Toyota and get the SUV by Sept 14 latest
Is there any certain program I should be watching? :P

You seem to be looking at several styles and good 4wd. Try cars.com on a search for your new vehicle within 200 or so miles of your home. May help to locate a 4wd nissan, and show how many available within 30-200 mi. The nissan frontier board has several posts of 8-10k off msrp and some assertions that dealers in certain areas are blowing out quests, frontiers, titans, and xterras for almost 40% off or more. May be worthwhile getting quotes from all the 4wd cars.com hits (or nissan website ) within 200 mi or so for quotes towards the end of the month and see what you can smoke out.
Might be worth doing on the Honda Ridgeline, Pilot or Trailblazer, although only the trailblazer has true 4wd. A 32000 msrp 08 trailblazer has a kbb trade in price (07 used model) of about $13000. Nada and Edmunds put it at closer to 18000 but seeing lots of dealer usually high asking prices for low mile 07's below Nada trade in price the 13000 figure is probably closer to the truth.
If you request bids from 20 or more dealers via email within 100 or so miles toward end of month would a 17000 or less price on a 32000 msrp TB be possible? 40% off a Frontier? (17000 for a well equipped 27000 4wd crew) 10000-12000 off a Ridgeline or Pilot? 10k off a Liberty? Don't know until you get the bids. (and callbacks from those interested) Lots off may include favorable financing or not. I've always liked the Dodge Dakota, and 1/2 (Its been done in Detroit on the Ram) off a (inflated msrp) 32000 Dakota would be good. All depends upon stocks on hand. Dakota has respectable 4wd, and lifetime powertrain waranty.
Good luck

i>I negotiated for $20,275 for a new 2008 4x4 Sport model. How does this deal sound? I'm also looking at Frontiers and Xterra's but I'm having trouble finding a 4x4 model. Nissan doesn't seem to make many four wheel drive vehicles in the south.
i have 21 435 right now (includes 4500 in rebates and offers) and employee discount.
Any thoughts?
In that context, $5000 off is nothing to write home about.
good luck

What is the best price you think for a jeep 4x4 sport without the roof or with the roof , before or after taxes ...
i have 21 435 right now (includes 4500 in rebates and offers) and employee discount.
Any thoughts?
Sticker: $27,515/Sale Price: $26,600
39-month lease/10,000 miles/month
$339/month (sign and drive -- no $$ down at all): Price includes taxes and the only options include Bluetooth and a skyslide sunroof.
I got an updated price on a 39-month lease and wanted to see if anyone could advise if this was a good deal:
MSRP: $27,065
Sales Price: $24,493 (includes tax)
Jeep Liberty Sport 4 x 4
Standard Sunroof
Convenience Package
Popular Package
Media Center (although I'm not sure if this includes Nav -- am checking)
With $500 down (that's all -it's a sign and drive), monthly lease is $303.22.
Anyone out there?
