#267 of 462 Re: Purchased 2005 JGC Limited Fully Loaded [blh] by hdctj Jul 23, 2005 (8:30 am)
Replying to: blh (May 11, 2005 6:07 am) Sounds pretty good, but beware the salesman shell game... "only one at this price", "does not include marketing costs", etc.   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!

don't mean to reply to my own message, but feel it's important to add a caveat to my above message, #268:   Price paid was BEFORE adding: Tax/Title/blah-blah, advertising charges (regional charges are apparently non-negotiable), and purchase of extended warranty at dealer's cost.
#270 of 462 About to Purchase '05 Jeep GC tomorrow.... by hpelletier Jul 27, 2005 (11:22 am)
Hi all, Please give me your advice - if you can. I did as much research as I could on my own...I hope I'm getting a good deal.   I have negotiated the price of $26,600.00 for the purchase of an '05 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo, 26X package, Heated Seats, Adjustable Pedals, Sirius Satellite Radio, Electronic Stability Program.   I have given a deposit, but can back out if this is not a god price. Any comments?   Thanks! Heather
#271 of 462 Here's our JGC deal: by catluvr Jul 29, 2005 (5:57 pm)
Purchased 2005 JGC Rocky Mountain Package with the following options:    4.7L Engine Tow Group IV AM/FM Stereo w/In-Dash 6-Disc CD/MP3    MSRP: $32,680 Employee Price w/rebate: $27,014 Paid (incl rebate): $26,448    We faxed about nine dealers in South Louisiana. Out of the nine, only four or five dealers responded, and of those five, only one dealer was willing to negotiate further on the employee discount amount: Ralph Sellers Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge in Gonzales, Louisiana.    The Ralph Sellers Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge dealership was wonderful with us. For once, a positive car buying experience.   Extraordinarily happy with our vehicle. Drives like a dream, handles like all get-out. Can't wait for our first road trip.
#272 of 462 my deal by brian211 Jul 30, 2005 (9:56 am)
How's this sound? JeepGC RockyMountain. With dark khaki pearl paint, leather bucket seats, electronic stability, 5sp auto, 4.7v8, quad trakII, Heated front seats, power pedals, xpackage, 28x customer preferred for msrp of 34560, my price with employee is 28700. My figures are I should offer 27,862. What are your thoughts. Claim deal must be done by tomorrow. Also looked at highlanders, envoys and murranos and endeavors. Everyone here glad they went with jeep? Don't want to have some of the problems I've seen on the boards here, like cooland leaking into tranny, cars bursting into fire and all those other horror stories.

For Message 271 and 272, are we talking about 4x4?
#274 of 462 Make sure you pay below employee pricing by spamfreezone Aug 02, 2005 (6:52 pm)
We purchased a 4WD Jeep GC Rocky Mountain Package with the V8 engine on August 1 (which was the original ending date for the employee pricing, though its been extended now). After going to two dealerships which were not willing to negotiate, I found one which said they would accept $750 below the employee price (including the $2000 GC rebate).   The details on the specific Jeep we picked which I mentioned above are... MSRP: 34,715 EP (employee price): 30,798 EP w/ rebate: 28,798 Our purchase price: 28,048   Do not believe them when they say there is no negotiation on these prices. Read about it online and you will see there is still plenty of room. Frankly, my goal was to pay $500 below the employee pricing but I did even better than that. Also, the later it gets with plenty of 2005's on their hands, the more desperate the dealers will have to become which means you have more bargaining power.   Good luck all and dont let the man keep you down!
#275 of 462 My Limited deal by jeepster Aug 07, 2005 (11:11 am)
As others have mentioned...you should be able to get 500-1,000 below the employee price and incentives.   I just paid $34,500 for a loaded Grand Cherokee Limited (28k/hemi/nav/dvd/other goodies). MSRP was $42,555, had every option but the skid plates. That's $8,055 off MSRP. I might have been able to push a bit further , but wanted delivery on 8/1, since I wasn't sure if the programs would be continued, since GM had just announced they were stopping employee pricing.   By the way this Jeep deal was far better than the X-plan pricing on a Volvo xc90 or a Land Rover LR3 HSE.   This will be our 3rde Limited and we love them....although the 2002 get rotors every 10,000 miles, even with the caliper upgrade. Jeep dealer replaced them every time for free!   Good Luck to all!
