Friends Code please!! by snoopy71

Just passing through here... I posted this inquiry in some of the other Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep forums, so I thought I'd try here too.
  
Wife & I have twins on the way (in addition to our 3-yr old) so we need to bite the bullet and get a minivan. We're going to get a Dodge GC or a Chrysler T&C sometime in June. Money will be real tight since wife will be quitting work to stay home, hence us going down to one income, so if anyone has a friends code for 2008, then I would reeeeeeally appreciate it. .... I'll even put you on my Christmas card list!!
  
e-mail me here at carspace and let me know....

sorry, but I don't have a friend's code. What is the price? Something like 1 to 3% under invoice?
 
This late in the model year, I think you should be able to do get nearly that price w. just a bit of research. Good luck, and congrats on the twins.

I just purchased a ONE-OWNER '99 Cherokee Sport with what appears to be the "Limited" package - It's 2WD, 4DR, 4.0 6 cyl, Automatic, A/C, fog lights, pwr windows, locks, ABS, Roof rack, 6way pwr drivers seat, Chrysler/Infinity AM/FM/Tape/CD (the "premium" head unit with the stupid joystick bal/fade control and EQ), overhead console w/trip computer, and (probably a prior-owner modification) what looks late-model like Grand Cherokee Limited alloy wheels. The Jeep has absolutely no weird engine noises, shifts like new, suspension is perfect. Issues: A/C is a little weak but cold, fog light switch is bad, volume control on stereo doesnt work (!!!) - (it's "stuck" on a fairly LOUD setting), and only the fwd-bck function on the drivers seat works (height and tilt don't). Beyond those few issues, the vehicle acts and looks almost new. Bought for $2,300 in South FLA">

Chrysler has announced they are putting this awful SUV out of its misery after the 2009 model year. My 1999 was the worst vehicle ever owned. No quality control. Over 30 significant problems over a seven year period. Garbage!

I think you mean the Jeep Commander derivative is going away. The 2010 Gr Cherokee is being featured in Chrylser future vehicle releases with a new hi tech variable valve system V6.
Sorry to hear you had a bad JGC, there seem to be many problems during that 99 model change year: I have had both a 01 I sold to my son and now a 07 JGC Laredo with minimal issues, none major.

if you feed them,they keep coming back for more..
 
the four wheel drive market is so "going around the bowl,and down the hole" it's not funny..
one story was someone had 19 month old -top shelf g.m.c,with all the bells and whistles(two sunroofs,d.v.d,ect..)was going out of the country,ended up with$18000..
dealers are drowning in them.
so-yea!..go in and ask what ones they want to give away today!?!..and shop them to death!!usually the ones with the worst traffic stay in business is by best prices..and usually great service too..they earn your business..

08' Laredo 26X pkg OTD $27900 by plan

I'm looking at a Grand Cherokee Laredo with 26X installed. MSRP is $36,005, dealer ask for $27900 on the road. Any suggestions for negotiation? I'm a first time buyer here and have no idea what price (OTD) I should look for. Thanks for all suggestions.
 
There is a $4500 + $2000 rebate going on, and $27900 is after all these discounts. So the deal is not that hot.

I don't think it's that hot either. I bought a 07 last October (loaded Laredo 4wd 4.7L with X pkg) so that year end closeout is about the same situation you are facing now -except- gas has gone from $2.80 to 3.90 down to 3.50 here in MN cratering the SUV market. A big deal. The MSRP of my 07 w/goodies was $37k because I got a $4k rebate even then plus an automatic ~$4k Affiliates discount since my employer is a Chrysler supplier, taking my pre-tax/fee price to $29K. When my Chrysler retiree father was alive I'd purchased a few new cars using his "green sheet" employee discount which I no longer can get, but the dealership said this was only around $500 more so I did not feel too bad on this no negotiation deal. Anyway, you are getting the same $8000 off 10 months later with the full & midsize SUV business in the tank worse than last Fall - you should be able to get more off shopping around at other dealerships or the internet. Even looking at the up to 28% off Chrysler ads that would be $26k or guessing if my dealer was right looking at a probable Chrysler employee price (copying the current GM blitz) I am guessing you can get off at least $500 more.
 
BTW, we have been very happy with our 07 Laredo 10,000 miles later. The 4.7L is a fantastic boat puller (I would have never got a small V8 but needed a torquey engine and living in the N woods need 4WD weekly all winter). We get 20mpg70mph and better on slow back roads, 15mpg pulling the boat so while that is about my only "complaint" I don't think I could do much better in anything else ... and the lifetime warranty is piece of mind. We also were happy with our 2001 Laredo which was sold to our son. Good luck!

I agree with naatz1. You can do much better.
 
Just as a reference, in September 07 I placed an order for a 2008 Limited. I was able to get invoice pricing without any problems at all. That was before the SUV market really tanked.
 
You have to consider two things:
* SUV market is not in good shape. Dealers can't give them away.
* You're buying an 08 at the end of the model year. In a few months, your brand new GC will be a year old. You should pay a bit less because of it.
 
You are in control. I love my GC. Best of luck and def. tell us what you ended up paying.
 
Oh, one last thing. If you have a trade in, make sure you don't get screwed in it. And be very careful in the F&I office. Don't buy any extras.
 
Keep in mind that you don't have to buy a Jeep extended warranty at the dealer. You can buy it at any time before your warranty expires. Just google for "Jeep warranty." Don't buy a third party warranty. If your dealer matches the internet price for the warranty you want (onlne is about half of what the dealer wants), then go for it.
