Kavoom,
 
Is it an automatic transmission of your newly-bought one or manual transmission?
 
Thank you for your inputs.

Depends on whether you'd look for AT or Manual Trans.
 
For Manual, check the previous post, which is around $21K+tag+tax, etc.
 
For AT, add something around $727 (invoice difference between AT and MT).
 
Please let us know what you have negotiated for finally.

forrest39 is looking for out-the-door price vs. negotiated price... basically asking what taxes & fees to expect in CA.
 
In my state (WA) it usually ends up adding around 10%. Anyone know what to expect in CA?

Yes. 7.75% State Sales Tax on the total, and a huge DMV fee.

Thanks Jeff,
Yes that's my question. How much can I expect for tax / license / doc fee's. As far as negotiating, it's kinda apples and oranges as we were going to trade in a Jeep Cherokee. Ultimately we left when we realized how badly were going to get hosed on the trade in, and sales guy #2 was rude to my wife anyway. The fleet guy later quoted us $22,985 for the X / P.P. / A.T. with no trade in. I'm just curious what my out the door price might have been had I kept going down that road.

If you don't want to sell the Jeep youself, at least take it to a Jeep dealer to sell.

Alternatively, you could consider selling it on craigslist.org to local or regional people, if your price is decent and you prepare well, for instance, show your series of maintenance record or clean up interiors.
 
Is your price shown above OTD or plus title+tax etc? Try to call around dealership in 50-100 miles or even bigger radius, or wait until the end of Nov or December, which may provide you more negotiation room.
 
Some dealership may not like to do business with you without a fortune on the vehicle, while others would like to sell you a car with lower margin of profit. So it will depends.
 
Also, do not give up easily what you believe, if you know what you look for. If one try does not reach your goal, you could try another or third time. Also try to avoid the same mistake from previous ones in the next round negotiation.

Thanks for the tips. The above price was just for the vehicle. I'll probably do craigslist...
