Should I buy an early build 08? by verdugo
Sep 09, 2007 (9:35 pm)
Reply
Hello. I have a question I hope you will be able to help me. I'm interested in buying an 08 Limited. I'm in Sacramento, CA and for some reason there are very few 08's around. My dealer located one nearby and he can do a delaer trade. The price is good (invoice minus rebates), but I'm hesitant because it's one of the first ones produced. The VIN ends in 8C101524.
 
I'm just afraid that with such an early build they didn't have a chance to work out all the bugs/gremlins/etc.
 
I am in no hurry to buy, but I do want to take advantage of the current rebates. Should I get this one or wait for a more recent build? Also, what do you think about the price?
 
TIA,
 
Angel

I just got (10/13/07) my 2007 Grand Cherokee Laredo 4x4 26E package with the following options:
 
Tow Package
Optional OWL tires
Optional Jeep Metallic Green Color
Premium Floor mats
walked out of the dealer with only 18 miles on the odometer.
 
Window Sticker was $31,205
Price Paid was: $26,400 + tax and fees with 0% finance for 60 months like you.
 
I opt out of $4000 cash back and went with the 0% finance and paid no down payment at all. Everything was included in my loan so I bought a gap insurance in case of a totaled vehicle.
 
I think your deal was good. What do you think about mine?

Sounds good. What city and Dealer?? If I understand, you could have paid $22,400 if you chose the cash back. Is that right?
 
Good luck, I have had a solid 1994 JGC 4WD for the past 14 years, which I bought new in Sept 93 for about $23000 OTD. Amazing how prices haven't increased too much, at least in this one case, but deals are different.

We live in wonderful state of Minnesota. This dealer happened to be located in Roseville, Minnesota which is just a suburb of Minnesota/St. Paul.
 
Yes I could have paid $22,400 if I wanted to get the cash back option (or if I were a savvy finance guy).
 
Glad to hear your good experience with Jeep.

Have you considered about buying a 2007 model new GC? I don't think there are many changes between 2007 and 2008 plus you will get more incentives on 2007 compare to a 2008. It will also eliminate your worry about buying an early build of 2008. Just a thought!

Thanks for the reply. The '08 had several things that I wanted that the 07 didn't have -- HID lights, MyGig, and nicer interior. The 08s currently have a promotion for free Mygig + Navigation ($792 value), which brings the rebates between the 08s and 07s a lot closer.
 
I ended up placing a factory order for a Limited 4x4 with the new 4.7L engine. Took about a month from the time I ordered to delivery (I'm in Sacramento, CA). I picked it up last week and I'm very happy with it.
 
The price was invoice. No negotiating. There wasn't a trade involved.

Installing DVD Navigation, Navigation Radio (REC) by sunbeeb
Nov 04, 2007 (7:31 am)

I have a question for all the experts out there. I want to install this DVD Navigation unit in my 07 Grand Cherokee Laredo E package. After reading the specs, I have a hunch that my trim might not be 100% compatible for this unit. However, if I still buy the unit and replace my factory basic CD player, wouldn't I still be able to use the 6 disc CD part and the NAV system and give up other options that it comes with? Does not the unit come with all the "brain" it needs to operate or it need some more 'guts" that my trim is missing? Any thoughts? Thank you.
 
I went to a couple of dealership and they are giving me different information. Here is the link for the unit I am talking about:

I also live in the same wonderful state of Minnesota but am 80 mi SE of you in Rochester. I pick up my 07 silver JGC Monday Nov 5, our local dealer did a swap with one I found at a dealer in your neck of the woods ... this is the 4th time in 10 years of new cars they have done this for us, so what the car has 100 mi on it if it's what I want!? (My father sadly is no longer around, but was a Chrysler retiree so most of our vehicles in the past 20 years have been of that brand, we also own a 300M).
 
Our Jeep's basically a loaded Laredo with the X pkg, 4.7L, Tow and Fortera tires. We have an 01 I6 Laredo that has treated us pretty well & we sold to our college Jr son for winter school driving. I strongly considered CUVs Hyundai Vera Cruz and Saturn Outlook (see my postings on the Outlook CUV forum if you are curious) but despite a smaller vehicle and V8 the Jeep won (as my wife put it, the kids are out of the house, why do we need a mini van sized vehicle?). I did get the following deal:
 
07 Laredo List 36,400 w/destination
Minus 4000 rebate
Minus 3500 affiliate supplier discount (available from the company I work for who is a Chrysler supplier)
Plus $75 discount fee plus $500 advertising fee (those tick me off but I paid them using the employee discount too, and the discount company says they are legit).
PRICE before tax ~$29500 and change.
 
The Saturn Outlook won the roominess and MPG award but the Jeep definetly had the comfort, "goodies", towing and value for money. I could have waited for an 08 with the new 4.7L, but the torque is about the same in the old 4.7 so as a boat tow vehicle I am optimistic saving >$2000 is worth it - 08 4.7s are hard to find and have only a $2k rebate, so far.
 
I will post more here and on the general JGC forum and a new owner review after a month or two as well. I hope you enjoy you new Jeep as well, we really liked our 01.
