Replying to: bob_graham (Mar 14, 2005 9:56 pm) Took back contract and removed 5y paint protection after talking with friends, detail shops, and dealer's own detail shop... Found a detail shop that works on bentleys, ferraris, high end mercedes, etc... and they didn't recommend the paint protection programs offered by the dealer and their prices were a fraction of the price for a much better offering... As for rebates per one person's post earlier, I got following: $43,045 original price $ 5,018 dealer reduced price without my asking $ 3,500 rebate $34,527 final price i consider myself fortunate as i went in for a test drive with a maximum budget of 39,000 out the door... i told them that although the extras were very nice i simply could not afford them and asked if they had a jgc with less features. they didn't, they had only one jgc hemi on the lot and it had all the features: 4x4 limited, plus extra add-ons ( fully loaded ) it was 12:30pm at night, everyone was tired, ( i was there from 8:30 to 12:30 pm on a friday night ) so i guess they figured they simply wanted to close the deal... so it was incorrect to say in an earlier post that i negotiated the price, i was very blessed / fortunate the dealership made the concessions they did, but as a result, i've got several co-workers that are also considering purchasing the vehicle... yesterday, i went by the dealership, ordered items from parts, talked with dealership detail shop, mechanics, etc... i had such a good experience with everyone, including many of the sales persons, so much so that i shared with the owner how impressed i was with the team he put together... so far i'm a very / extremely satisfied customer. i sincerely hope the remainder of my experience with the jgc will be the same. it truly is amazing how fast this vehicle is and how quickly it can accelarate from 0 to 60 or from 80 to 100; not to mention: sound system is superb ( sounds great, list of mp3's by name, graphic equalizer & graphic fade / balance ), extremely quiet, climate control is nice, handles pretty good too...

Replying to: bob_graham (Mar 14, 2005 9:46 pm) I have a question concerning the $3,500 in rebates. I haven't visited the dealer yet, so maybe you can enlighten me beforehand. What were your cash rebate and financing options when you bought the car, and are they any different than the March incentives? I'm just trying to determine whether to expect $3,500 in rebates PLUS 0% financing for 36 months, or whether the 0% financing is in lieu of part of the $3,500 in rebates. In other words, are the rebates and financing offers mutually exclusive? Thaks for your help. Regards, pjt

Replying to: pjt (Mar 15, 2005 7:06 am) I took the $2500 plus the $1000 since I financed 48 months thru DC at 5.99%. I did the numbers and this option if I were to go to term was $1400 better than the 0% for 36M or 2.9% for 48M. There was a misprint on their web site for a couple od day that indicated you got the $3500 plus the 0%, it was a mis-print. Check your mail, they just mailed out an additional $500 coupon if you were a previous good customer. We got one since we have several Dodge's and another Jeep. Hopes this helps. One word for everyone, they are running of Hemi's and are starting to push 4.7 Limited's. This may be why the DHS has not showed up. The dealer in town told me they are down to 1 Hemi left and none coming. |

Purchased from Fair Oaks Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep, Chantilly, VA, 20151 MSRP $40,130 Deal $36,475 Less -$2,500 Incentive Price Paid $33,975 I decided to use outside financing at 4.09% for 36 months and not use the extra financing discount of -$1000; judgement call on the day. Dealer offered 5.79% and -$1000 for 36 months. I will most likely pay off early. Dealer gave a decent price on my 99 Land Rover Disco II 64k mile trade-in. Overall the dealer was excellent.

Looking at grand cherkee ltd. Have always heard of poor jeep quality and service. Looking at new pathfinder, 4runner which is always rated #1. Second tier are envoys and durangos. If you had to choose again would you still go with jeep? Seems a good deal. 4runners sell close to msrp. Does anyone have any advice for me concerning which way to go?

Recently leased a Laredo F package with sunroof. Came to about 9700 below sticker of 32075 with 900 down. Rough estimates. -2000 off to be around or some below invoice. -3000 off for trade. A 1995 Explorer in fair condition with 100400 miles. These two were lumped together at the end at 5275.00 -4000 in rebates 2500.00, 1000.00 and 500.00 900 down included first payment, and the rest of the misc stuff. I looked and drove others and was impressed by this. I do see the Cons in the reviews that have been posted (hard plastic, back seat) but the pro's outweighs the cons. The ride is great and even the V6 enough power for me as I don't tow. I went to other dealers after the initial two and some started alot higher, When told what the others was offering, they then said they could do that. |

Replying to: brian211 (Mar 21, 2005 10:59 am) I narrowed the choice down to the same vehicles as yourself. Ultimately I chose the Jeep (Limited) because of the Hemi engine and large price incentives. I also didn't require 7 seats, so didn't feel the need for a feature I'd never use. I was concerned about the prior poor maintenance history of the Jeep but the inclusion of the Hemi engine on Limited models ultimately swayed my vote. I also liked the Jeep exterior & and interior styling better than the Pathfinder & 4Runner. The Pathfinder & 4Runner are fine vehicles but have faults of there own. If I had to choose between them I'd have chosen the Pathfinder on a price/value basis. I was looking for a less truck-like ride, plenty of power, excellent 4wd and all at the right price. The Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with 5.7L Hemi was the right choice for me. Ultimately it's a personal decision one over another. |

| Thanks scotsman97. I'm still doing my due dilligence. I know my mechanic makes a good living rebuilding jeep transmissions. I'm curious as to how yours is performing. I think I may wait a bit to see how the new 05 models perform. Its always a new model coming out that makes a decision hard. Waited for the 05 and now hear some good things about the 06s! | |
