A reporter is interested in speaking with current Cherokee owners about their major likes, dislikes, price paid and other vehicles considered. He will also want to mention your name, city and state. If you are interested in speaking with this reporter, please send your name and daytime phone number to Pam Krebs, Edmunds.com PR, at pkrebs edmunds.com before Wednesday, July 6. Thank you.

Replying to: catluvr (Jun 22, 2005 2:24 pm) I was up front and honest with the salespeople, I told them I was shopping around for the best price and even looking at different vehicles. With all the resources available on the internet, I knew about what the dealer paid and I offered them a fair profit.

Replying to: dbarnes727 (Jun 29, 2005 7:38 am) Thanks much for the input. Have found some advice on a couple websites: www.carbuyingtips.com and www.fightingchance.com. These websites can go into a bit of info overload, but for the most part, I've found them helpful. One of them, I forget which (Fighting Chance?) will tell you what sort of dealer holdback is on the vehicle, so you have more info for negotiating. My husband and I are interested in purchasing a JGC w/ the 26Y-Rocky Mountain package, seems to have all the options we're looking for, and at a pretty reasonable price. Yahoo! Autos and this Edmunds site have provided me with a couple of printouts. Can you suggest any others? |

Does anyone know if you can receive additional incentives on top of the employee pricing discount and the $2000 cash back? We took a test drive today and the salesman said that dealerships had the option of choosing to participate in the employee pricing program or just offering the regular incentives that were in place prior to the employee pricing program. He said that this particular dealership chose to participate in the employee pricing program, and, therefore, we could not receive the extra $1000 college grad discount on top of the employee pricing program price. Any comments?

Replying to: reinny (Jul 07, 2005 3:51 pm) Employee pricing or X plan on Ford which I use since my employer buys Fords really is great for employees and friends when the standard rebates are in place. For example we bought a 2004 Ford Taurus SEL last OCT. The sticker was 27,200, the X plan price was 24500 and then we received $5500 in rebates. This brought the car in below 20K. The programs now are really just another version of the older programs. On the employee plans the factory makes a payment to the dealer to cover expenses so there is still money on the table. The point is try and get the Jeep for 200 to 500 below invoice and then apply the old rebates, if this is possible. Hope this helps..... |

Replying to: blh (May 11, 2005 6:07 am) I picked up the JGC Limited with the Hemi back in March via CarsDirect. I heartily recommend checking them out. Total with CA tax, title & license came in at $38k. I got a screaming deal, and I'd recommend everyone check out online sellers like these guys. No icky slimey salesmen to fight past and no need to haggle! Only downsides are that you may have to drive a bit to take delivery and if you're extra picky about colors and some options you may have to settle for something different. But on the other hand, they may be able to find you options your local dealers are being less than helpful in locating. I was looking for the Midnight Blue exterior and none of my local dealers could find it, but CarsDirect did. Here's the run down, direct from the listing when I bought in March: 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited w/5.7L HEMI Magnu 4dr 4x4 CarsDirect Price: $ 36,547.00 Customer Rebate Expires 03/31/05 ($2500) Transmission: 5-Speed Automatic (5-45RFE) STD Leather Trimmed Bucket Seats STD 3.73 Axle Ratio STD Monotone Paint Application STD Normal Duty Suspension STD Engine: 5.7L Hemi Multi Displacement $1316 Quick Order Package 25K $1694 Supplemental Side Air Bags $431 4x4 Popular Equipment Group w/EZB $519 SIRIUS Satellite Radio $172 Tire Pressure Monitoring Display $75 Electronic Infotainment System Group $1056 Radio: 6CD/Full Map GPS Display Navigation $1056 Wheels: 17 in. x 7.5 in. Chrome Clad Aluminum $722 Parksense Rear Back-Up System $224 Chrome removal credit ($722) They gave me a credit on the chrome wheels, which I did not want. But the Dealer I took delivery from fell off on his promise to swap out for the standard Al 5 spokes, so I essentially got the cheeky "clad" wheels no charge. And I went with the Chrysler Financing that bought it down another $1500 if I recall correctly. The rate was better than my bank could put together so it was a no brainer. If you check now, their offered price is down in the $35k range. But they don't yet seem to be reflecting the Employee Discount Program. It's worth contacting them to find out if they are participating in that program. They usually honor all the incentives available, like the College Grad and others. I had an additional $500 off coupon that Jeep sent me which the happily accepted. And they'll do factory orders too. But at this point, I think if you want to do a factory order on the Grand, you'll have to wait a bit as DC is now taking orders for only the 06's from what I've heard. Then CarsDirect may not be able to help as they don't yet have pricing for the new model year. But again, very much worth checking them out! Best of luck on the shopping! |
