College Grad Program by forty9
Apr 14, 2005 (8:23 am)
Reply
In case anyone is interested, Chrysler/Jeep offers a great recent College Grad incentive program which is far superior to any other company out there. I am graduating this May and have been shopping around for a new SUV. For the price, incentives, and 5-year ownership costs on the JGC, buying one is a no brainer. Here is how the program breaks down:
 
-1% below invoive off the bat
-must pay a $75 program fee to join
-must be graduating from college I believe 6 months prior to purchase date or have graduated up to 2 years before purchase date
-proof of employment or future employment
 
This is not a plug for Chrysler/Jeep either, believe me. I am simply informing recent College grads of the great deals out there willing to be had. I have test driven the JGC and plan to buy by the end of the month. This SUV rides silky smooth and looks great. I was turned off of the 4-Runner and Pathfinder due to higher price and 3rd row seating. Hope this helps anyone in the market for an SUV. I hope to be posting my buying experience very shortly. - Forty

Making my final choice by shorty101

After months of deliberation I have decided to go with the JGC limited G package. I was offered the following deal today:
MSRP $32,830
Final Price: (including TTL) of $19,000
 
This includes the $3,500 in rebates and discounts and $10,000 for my trade (2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer with 89,000 miles on it). Now I just have to decide on what color. I gave the dealer three colors (Silver, White and Light Khaki) and they have come back with all three. At first I really liked the Khaki but the more I look at it the less I like it. I will probably go with the silver. I will post my final deal when it is completed. I think this is a pretty good deal.

Shorty101,
 
You should look into some additional rebates that you might be able to get out of the dealer. In addition to the $2500 cash back/financing deal, there is a $1000 rebate for going through Chrysler Finance (which it sounds like you are using), and another $1000 "Exclusive Cash Bonus" that Jeep direct mailed/emailed to people on its mailing list (frankly I have no idea how or why I am on their mailer, but I am). See if you can get that rebate as well - might have to come from Jeep HQ, though, so you should contact them rather than the dealer.
 
I too am shopping around, and I followed the Edmunds "buying tips" and got a number of prices through email for the "base" 2005 Grand Cherokee (MSRP $28500). Here is the breakdown, including the $3500 in rebates mentioned above (and not including the additional $1000 coupon I received via email or my trade):
 
MSRP: $28,500
Edmunds Invoice: $26,630
Edmunds TMV: $27,386 (w/o rebates)
 
Prices I was quoted:
$22,451 (dealership on ebay, located in Indiana)
$22,882 (local Long Island, NY dealer)
$22,959 (local)
$23,800 (local)
 
All of these prices were done over email with no haggling or negotiating, so it's possible I can work a little more to get a better price. That said, however, I suspect that some of the dealers are building the military/recent college grad rebate into the price (both $500, though I don't qualify for either), so I'm pretty sure I have that little surpise waiting for me when I get to the dealership.
 
Let me know if anyone has had a similar experience/price.

I hope you have better luck than I had today. I went into a dealership today with my title in hand ready to make the final deal with the numbers that we came up with yesterday. Instead of coming back with the price of $19,000 after trade and TTL they came back with $21,400. They said that they could not give me the amount on the trade they offered me yesterday (after they inspected my car) because people don't want to buy Mid-size Suv's. When they told me this I got my keys and walked out. I will not buy an automobile from this dealership ever, even if they come back with a better price. I guess they thought they could get a women to pay $2,400 extra because she did not know the value of her car. My second lowest price was $20, 800 after trade and TTL. This was on a JGC limited G-package with a sun roof. I have done all of my business with them over the phone and the internet. I called them a minute ago and told them if they could guarantee this price I will buy from them. I will let you know how it goes with them. I will also see if I can get the exclusive bonus cash.

Shorty101,
 
That's awful, but you should be pretty happy with the fact that you were strong enough to walk out when they pulled that nonsense. I put things on hold until tomorrow, at which time I plan to take another go at negotiations before I actually visit a dealership. I'll let you know.

I bought my Jeep by shorty101

I bought my Jeep and I love it. I bought a White JGC Limited G Package with a sunroof and a Khaki interior. Below is a breakdown of the cost.
 
MSRP: 32,900
 
Rebates $3,500
Reduction in sticker price $2,400
Trade in $8000
 
Total after TTL: 20,583
 
They also will install U-Connect for free because when the Jeep came in the interior was the wrong color Khaki instead of Greystone/Dk. Kahaki. They asked me what they could do to make it OK with me and I said install the U-connect for free. They went for it and I took the deal. This was a $400 value. I could not get the exclusive cash bonus because this is only mailed randomly to individuls who visit the Jeep dealership. I think that I got a good deal and I am happy.

Does anyone know if the $2500 Cash back and $1000 CFC Financing rebates are taken out before or after taxes are calculated?

If I read my finance contract correctly. The rebates were taken out before my taxes were calculated. Hope this is helpful.
