I just checked jeep.com. I entered zipcode 55101 (which according to google is in MN). The 08 4.7L have a $3750 rebate in that zip code. The 07's 'only' have a $45000 rebate.

$45000 rebate, hey then I can afford the Overland!
 
55901 is SE MN Rochester and 55455 is Minneapolis. Both now show a $3000 rebate on 08s on www.jeep.com through 12/5. But it seems to change weekly as last week it was $2000 which is what our dealer showed as of Weds too. Our dealer showed the 07 $4000 rebate expiring 10/31 but jeep.com showed 11/5 and now per the dealer a similar deal (same money, but handled different) goes into November. The extra $750 is only with Chrysler financing which we don't need. The bigger problem is finding a Laredo 4.7, there is only one within 100+ miles of us and not the color we want or even a backup color (and for some reason no Nav or Mygig listed for it either, unless again that is another NEW deal!?!). There are few Limited 4.7s as well, of course fetching thousands$ more. And remember the new MSRP of the 08 Laredo is $900 more as well, but the bigger problem is a glut of V6s and hemis, no new 4.7s.
 
Oh well, if I was looking 2 months from now I'd probably find a better deal ... or 2 years from now maybe a 30mpg JGC hybrid that tows 6500 lbs, ya sure you betcha.

I hear you about the limited availability of the 08 4.7L. There aren't ANY 4.7L's anywhere near me. I ended up placing a factory order. It took 4 weeks, and I got exactly what I wanted.
 
In addition, you get the better of the rebates from when you placed the order or your GC arrives.

I am glad that you bought the X package trim. Now that I have been driving for almost about a month, I kind of miss all those options that would have come with the X package. It is cheaper to get all the options when they are already included in the vehicle rather then installing them later. Enjoy!

Yes, there are a lot of "goodies" here that I like, besides the trip computers, steering wheel controls and advanced audio (which we had in our 2001 JGC, but I like) my wife has her heated leather and now sunroof. There is a couple inches more room in this 2007 WK body than the older 2001 style JGC, so at 6'4" I fit, barely, with the seat all the way down even w/a sunroof. But she likes the sunroof and it does give more light and airiness to the interior plus I am sure like in our Chrys 300 we'll enjoy it in 5 months when it warms up again(argh).
 
So far in first 100 miles of driving to work in back, I am getting 15mpg city average, driving conservatively but playing with the remote start and yes it does start from my window at work ~ 300 feet away - NICE. I am contemplating trying it out on E85 ethanol before it gets too cold in SE MN. The night we picked it up gas went back over $3/gal, but a local chain dropped their E85 to $2.04, however I haven't even used 1/4 tank so I have a ways to go.
 
I will post here, the MPG forum and writeup a new owners review after a few weeks. My only minor disappointment so far is NOT in the Jeep but getting 4 different answers from 4 different sales and technical people on cost of ownership maintenance questions I asked prior to purchase. I should have asked but did not know the front/rear differentials needed 15000 mi fluid service, much more than my 2001 but my mistake "assuming" the new vehicle would have improved. That is a pain to get at so I may have to bite the bullet and have the techs or my family car repair man do it. I was told the plugs were 100k miles like on my Chrys 300, but NO, the 4.7L has 30k mile old style plugs. Bummer but I think I can get at those as I have usually done my own "simple stuff" like plugs, serpentines, coolant. Those again are minor things, nothing to worry about yet, very happy with our purchase. LET IT SNOW!

Have an opportunity to buy 2003 Grand Cherokee with 22K miles for $8500.00. Sounds like a good deal to me what do you guys think.

Looks pretty attractive. Make sure it's really 22K miles (however you do that).
Our local bank black book for a 03 Laredo 4WD with 4.7L V8 lists
$12,250 and trade in $2000 less. so I'd say around $11K private party is fair
but you can look at Kelly Blue Book's web site for that.
 
Since I just bought a new on the lot 07 loaded Laredo for $29k plus tax, fees this week (see posting above) I sold my son our 2001 single owner 4WD I6 loaded Laredo with 82K miles for $7K and that was low book for that year/miles (but had to give the kid a good deal although he used his prior car sale to help!). Let it snow!
