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 |

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. |

| 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. | |

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! |

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! |

Were you motivated to go car- or truck-shopping because of the employee discount deals? If so, a reporter wants to talk with you. Please respond to jfallon |

Thought I'd share my story today about my purchase of an 05 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 at my local dealer. After being a bit disappointed at the picked-over selection of 05's left on the lot, I saw a demo that had belonged to the service manager (aka the son of the dealership owner). The demo JGC limited 4x4 was loaded to the hilt with hemi, nav, rear parking sensors, etc and it had 7,000 miles on it. Since this was a demo, it was still being sold as "new" as the title to the vehicle was never given to anyone. They offered to give me the vehicle for $34,000 after employee pricing discount, $2,000 cash allowance and additional dealer offered allowance. After negotiating a bit further, I got them to take an additional $2,000 off of the car and significantly discount an extended bumper to bumper premium plus warranty on the vehicle (7 years, 70,000). Basically I purchased a $42,000 (and change) JGC Limited 4x4 hemi for $32,000 plus discounted extended warranty. Originally they were stubborn and did not want to budge of of the $34,000 price but I stood firm and let them know that without an additional $2,000 reduction in price for consideration of a "demo" model with 7,000 miles, I would walk. I got a great vehicle for a VERY good price with every bell and whistle offered on the vehicle. Although I have 7,000 miles on it, it is essentially a brand new vehicle and was very happy with the purchase. So don't overlook any demo opportunities and always ask if they have any demos they are willing to sell. Good Luck |

Seeing ads that say 5700 off on Laredos. I want to get a limited (non-hemi) and saw that cash back to dealers on 05's is now $4250 or 2750 plus low apr. Anyway does anyone know what I should expect to get off an 05 that is MSRP'd at $37100? I'm in MA and shooting for under 30K . Just sold my 00 JGC limited for $8600- ouch but it needed a new evaporator ($1000) and had 92k on it. How come this board is quiet now? |

Local dealer in MA said he'd sell me any limited or Rocky Mtn at invoice + 100 and I would get the 4250 rebate. Example is a Limited which MSRPd at $37,185 and Invoice + $100is 34,566 (as given to me by dealer -need to verify). Subtract out $4250 rebates and finale price is 30,316 or $6,869 under MSRP. Is this a good deal or can do much better? Some peopel seem to be getting $8, under invoice. Any idea how much the dealer gets at invoice? 3% holdback?
