I agree with Tsjay & Saharagal... If its what you want I say go for it.. From my point of view its more of a waste of money to pay for something you dont like rather pay extra for what ya want.
Plus withe the finance charges low..you will make up the $300 buying now than waiting for later. I paid $200 over invoice too (197 + 3 for lemon law.) and th3 4.9% financing I believe I got a very good deal. I drove to Atlanta to get my Tazz
hey Spyrodragon..I was young & foolish like you once too..(wish I was still that way) But if i'm paying for something its gonna look good as long as I can keep it that way. So you stay on the offroads & tell us your stories.
Got Jeep?

I'd check the Jeep Warehouse site.. they have a number that you can call and talk directly to someone... I didn't pursue and don't know about delivery, etc. They are located in Indianna I think. By the way, my local dealer has 4-5 more Wranglers on the lot and they've been there for a few months. Only one with manual and all with hardtop or dual tops.

North of Atlanta. My local dealer found the jeep I was looking for..but jasper jeep refused to do a dealer trade with him. So I called them they quoted me 200 over invoice. I drove over to get it. Did all the work over the phone. Very pleasent dealer to work with. my salesman name was Ron Richardson. They Have a HUGE Jeep inventory. You should check them out!
Got Jeep?

I've been reading the posts on this list for about a month, and I have finally found need of help. My local Chevy dealership has a Wrangler on the lot. (And I have Wrangler Fever.) Details are:
2000 Wrangler Sport
Silverstone
5 Speed
Canyon Wheels
Black Soft Top Only
AM/FM Cassette
Cruise
Nerf Bars
Tubular Front Bumper
Black Interior
13,050 miles
$19,900 negotiable
My question: Is this a good deal? Should I go in and close the deal now, or just leave it alone? Salesman says that they will come down from that price, so I was considering offering $18,000 firm and letting him "work me up" to about $18,500. I need advice!
You can look it up for yourself with the proper options included.
The dealer's price is way high, especially if the Jeep does not have air conditioning.
I love Silverstone Jeeps! That was a very, very close second choice to the white that I ended up getting.
Good luck.

Have you hugged your Jeep today?
19,900 is WAY to high to me...
I agree with you I would start with 17,900 first then go up.
Did you check out what edmunds has listed?
how many miles were on it?
again welcome to the board. Keep us posted

http://wwwitsajeep.org/public/tazz.htm
for those who care, here are the details...
He was ready to tell me to walk. I was at $300 over invoice, and pretty adamant about it. He was not budging at $500. I told him there was no way I was paying $500 over. Then I threw out $350. That raised his eyebrow. I said that is as high as I go. He took the usual salesman's walk over to his manager and came back and said Ok.
What a pain in the butt!! You guys should come up here to NY and try getting 100-200 over invoice. Not that I don't think any of you can, but I would sure like to witness it.
So I'm buying a sport!!! Should take delivery on Saturday or Monday.
I guess I'll need a new handle for edmunds.
Anyone interested in buying a red 97 cherokee, 5spd, in excellent condition?
Oh yea, I took the 1.9 % financing.
notop1: that website is something. Are those prices are for real?
Here are the jeep details:
sport w/25D package
30" wheel group (you all know it includes Dana 44 w/3.73)
CD w/subwoofer
Tow hooks and fog lamps
storage trunk
side steps
AC
Full doors
Forest green w/camel interior and top
Does not have:
hard top (yes!!)
tracloc (will install detroit truetrac before winter)
speed control (too crowded here in the northeast anyway)
Thanks everyone......
now relax everyone. I am not trashing TJ's. I love these things. It has been 10 years since I had one. Just trying to make a point.
Does anyone know how much it actually costs DC to build one of these things?
I'm PROUD of you! Who care about a measley $150 more than a lot of us paid? SO WHAT? BIG DEAL!
The most important thing is that you have your Jeep! Nothing else matters!
Good for you!
Now get some pics posted, please! She sounds like a beauty.
I am truly happy for you. Good luck with that baby.
tsjay

I'll be here in Hotlanta waiting for my Sahara to arrive. Hey, maybe I should change my name to Waitin4Sahara! Everyone's getting a Jeep but me!
By the way, now DC's saying mine should ship out on June 29th!
Have fun!
Jeeps are produced on a small scale, so they have to have a higher profit per vehicle. If they were mass produced and every other vehicle you meet on the road was a Jeep, they could be priced lower. Personally, I am glad that Jeeps are kind of rare and that you don't see all that many on the road as compared to other vehicles. It's worth the higher price to me to have something "special."
Once again, my good friend, congratulations!

I had looked up the prices, but between Edmunds, Kelly Blue Book, and Carpoint, I had about a $1,500 spread in prices. I just needed a little validation that if I could get the guy down to $18,250 or $18,500 that I wouldn't be getting taken. It does have AC, and that was a monumental oversight on my part not to list it. I mean, top down will be nice here in SE Georgia, but AC is a necessity.
The only quirk I noticed when I test drove it today was that it had a sudden pull to the left or right in straight travel. There was no wind (that would provide too much relief to those of us suffering under the heat and humidity), so I know that it wasn't being blown around. I will check the air pressure in the tires tomorrow. When I had the Flintstone tires changed on my 99 Silverado, I had the same sensation. I lowered the air pressure from 45 to 36 and the handling improved 100%.
Thanks again for the support. We'll see what the dealer says tomorrow, and then we'll see what the Boss (read that as the Wife) says.

Be sure to let us know how the Detroit diff is in the snow. I've read that a true locker can be a handful in the snow, especially in off camber situations, but I haven't seen anyone on the other Jeep boards say they don't like their Detroits.
Once again, welcome to the club, and think, a couple hundred more than others have paid is just a handful of fillups! As tsjay said, who cares about a few lousy bucks now that you're getting your Jeep!
-twylie
If I were you, I would definitely want to talk to the previous owner of that Jeep before I bought it.
That's just a good policy for the purchase of any used vehicle. You have to wonder why someone would trade in such a new Jeep? It's possible that the Jeep was fine but just turned out not to be the right type of vehicle for its previous owner. It's also possible that it was a lemon.
You will have warranty protection going for you, but you still might avoid a major headache by checking with the previous owner before buying.
And, you're welcome. Always glad to help a fellow Jeep lover.

Immediately adding power windows and wet okole seat covers to it. If anyone knows anything about adding power locks and keyless entry let me know.
By the way, the $500/low APR has been extended to July 31st.
Should be here sometime in the next 3 weeks or so.
Finally!
I belive you got a good deal...you will make up the difference in your 1.9%..thats a great rate!
Sounds like you got a beauty there...need to get some pics posted for us!!
Congrats to you too Jackbnimble!!
WOW!! we are growing like a wild fire!!
look at all those new jeeps!

Windows? What are windows?
hard doors and dual tops, plus these little bar thingies like a gate for when the doors are off (with mirror attachment points)which I would sell if I got it. Can you have soft doors with hard top? I really dislike those full doors."
Yet, after driving the black 97 described earlier, I am not so sure I liked the half doors either. (It was hot out, but the top was up due to severe lightning storm imminent any minute, yet I REALLY wanted to test drive it!) Also, the front driver tire made a thwapping sound like it might be cupped or something. Something to worry about? I couldn't see any visible cupping, and would replace tires maybe in August anyhow, but don't want to replace again in December if you know what I mean.
Ok, I suggest that EVERYONE here goes to www.QUADRATEC.com and order a subscripsion... There are alot of good deals inside and they also have a section in the back where you can order pretty much any other magazine... If you want good add on's this is the mag to get them from. That's where you'll find the wet okole seat covers.
Jeephead
http://www.wetokole.com/
The power windows are from Quadratec - they are made specifically for the WRangler, and accommodate the removeable doors.
I figured I would encounter some alarms when I mentioned "city-fying" by wrangler critter, but I'm giving up a Chrysler 300M and can't go completely cold turkey on everything. Besides, I sorely missed not having power locks and windows on my old Wrangler.
Regarding the traclok/Dana44 - what is the answer? It looks like the traclok is included with the Dana44, but does anyone know for sure? I know the retail on mine is 595, more than just the 44 alone.
Whats all this with naming your Jeep? My old one seemed to do fine when I just called it "the Jeep". Maybe thats like naming a dog "boy" though.
I test drove the 4 cylinder and drove it up a steep hill behind the dealership. That convinced me to get the I6, and I'm very happy I did. When I got it I was planning on only using the Jeep in the mountains, mainly off-roading, but since first I had to get there... Now I use it part of the year as my primary mode of transportation (see the pictures in the owners section of one morning in February at my house).
Please advise;
bjritchey@ webtv.net.
Thank you
Need it for Christmas Gift!
Any other gift suggestions?
Why do you want a hardtop?
A hitch mounted cargo carrier will limit your off-roading severely. If it is just mild off-roading it will work but your departure angle is killed with it.

I second Jeephead's comments about 4 vs 6. For me personally I would rather walk than drive a 4 cyc Jeep. I know how they are on the highway.
notop1
I have some sidesteps that I want to get rid of. Email me or let me know if you are interested.
"Add a Trunk" is removable and keep in mind it is not very secure. These guys have some secure products

Dana44
I think the Dana44 would be good to have for resale. Not everybody would be looking for it but it cost a lot less to get one with it then to add it.
Nothing wrong with getting power locks and windows on your Jeep if that is what you want. For me, I don't lock my doors because I don't want my windows to get slashed. I would buy power zipper windows if they made em.
I have never owned power doors or windows but to me keyless entry is a must on a car. Most of my manuals didn't even have a rpm gauge. I hated seeing a rpm gauge in somebody's automatic.
It is easier to sweep a foot of snow off a hard top, I figure.
"A hitch mounted cargo carrier will limit your off-roading severely. If it is just mild off-roading it will work but your departure angle is killed with it."
I thought the beauty of this design is you can REMOVE IT before taking to the trails. That way, you can take a bunch of stuff with you on vacation, and leave it at the camp site. At least that is what I was thinking anyhow. Also for the beach.
That is the same bumper I just installed (without the cargo rack). They are not cheap, but I really believe that it would stop a speeding bullet!!!
Thanks again.......I hope everyone is right about it being worth the hassel......and the $$$$
We have had people that can't even get into the chat, which happened to me for the first time tonight, and we have had strange behaviour for those who have been able to get in.
Last couple weeks, I was able to get in, but had to hit the "refresh" button for new posts to show up. Tonight, I couldn't even get in at all.
What's the deal????
I loved that chat!

TsJay.. don't feel to bad I had a hell of a time just logging on tonight, last couple of days have been hard. Could be lag on the web (maybe the power crunch).
Again, Congratulations New Wrangler Owners!
dwrangler
when you hug your jeeps today, give em' a hug for me til I get mine.
(hopefully I can change my tag name as soon as my birthday wish comes true...I haven't hit my mid life crisis early at 38 today have I?) As far as grey hair goes, that started showing up in my 20's :O
Join us in Gill's chat room sometime! Several of us get in there about every night.

I don't know what username he will post under, but he checked out our board as we were chatting and said he really liked it.
So, give him a big Wrangler IV welcome when he posts his first message.
